Get the latest news and rumors about the Philadelphia Eagles from Rant Sports.
As much fun as power rankings are to compile, they are agonizing with how unpredictable the NFL is.

[...]
The Philadelphia Eagles are three games into the 2012 season, and quarterback Michael Vick has yet to turn in a complete performance. Vick has turned the ball over nine times through three games.

The NFL imposed a $10,000 fine on Philadelphia Eagles’ WR DeSean Jackson this week for allegedly throwing a punch in the direction of Baltimore Ravens’ CB Cary Williams during Sunday’s tilt.
