2010 Philadelphia Eagles season

78th season in franchise history December 2013 March 2026 2010 Philadelphia Eagles Andy Reid Marty Mornhinweg Sean McDermott Howie Roseman Jeffrey Lurie Lincoln Financial Field 10–6 1st NFC East Lost Wild Card Playoffs(vs. Packers) 16–21 QB Michael VickWR DeSean JacksonOT Jason PetersCB Asante SamuelK David Akers K David Akers (2nd team)SS Quintin Mikell (2nd team)OT Jason Peters (2nd team) Eagles seasons thumb|Eagles' defensive tackle Antonio Dixon against the Tennessee Titans, October 24, 2010 The 2010 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 78th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 12th under head coach Andy Reid. The Eagles failed to improve on their 11–5 record from 2009, finishing with a 10–6 record. However, they were able to win their division due to a head-to-head sweep tiebreaker over the New York Giants, who also finished 10–6. In the wild-card round of the playoffs, the Eagles lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers by a score of 21–16. The Eagles played all home games at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The off-season saw a significant roster overhaul as Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook, two of the franchise's key players over the last decade, departed. McNabb was traded to Philadelphia's NFC East rival, the Washington Redskins, while Westbrook was cut from the roster and later signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Kevin Kolb was intended to be the Eagles' new franchise quarterback, however he was injured during the Week 1 game and replaced by Michael Vick, who started in 11 of 16 games (Kolb started in Weeks 4–6 when he was injured, as well as Week 17 with Vick and the starters resting for the playoffs.) With Vick at quarterback, they set franchise records, including a memorable comeback win against the New York Giants and a season-high 59 points in Washington. Despite the losses of McNabb and Westbrook, Football Outsiders calculated that the 2010 Eagles had the third-best rushing attack of any single-season team from 1993 to 2010.Final 2010 DVOA Ratings http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2011/final-2010-dvoa-ratings dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110711000000/http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2011/final-2010-dvoa-ratings 11 July 2011 Football Outsiders This season marked the first season since 1995 that the Eagles wore Kelly green uniforms.

However, the game was pushed back to Tuesday due to heavy snow in Philadelphia (see below). Philadelphia delivered the game's opening punch in the first quarter as quarterback Michael Vick found rookie tight end Clay Harbor on a 3-yard touchdown pass. The Vikings responded in the second quarter with cornerback Antoine Winfield returning a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown. Minnesota took the lead in the third quarter with kicker Ryan Longwell getting a 30-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Joe Webb getting a 9-yard touchdown run. The Eagles answered in the fourth quarter with Vick's 10-yard touchdown run, but the Vikings pulled away after the Vikings scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run by running back Adrian Peterson. With the loss, Philadelphia fell to 10–5, and were locked into the #3 playoff seed in the NFC.

Eagles and NFL officials said that the postponement decision was made mainly out of concern for the safety of fans, vendors, suppliers and stadium workers. The game was scheduled to end just before midnight Philadelphia time, during the worst of the storm. Eagles COO Don Smolenski said the possibility of having over 72,000 people (over 69,000 fans plus 3,000 workers) stranded in the brunt of the storm made league and team officials conclude "it just wasn't safe" to play the game on Sunday night. League and team officials were also concerned that emergency vehicles wouldn't be able to make it through safely.http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5959424 Philadelphia digging out ESPN December 27, 2010 December 27, 2010 July 2024 medicmedic Indeed, SEPTA and New Jersey Transit, which are utilized by many Eagles fans coming to and leaving games, were forced to alter or cancel routes due to the storm. The postponement decision was very unpopular in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, the former mayor of Philadelphia and an avid Eagles fan, said that football was a game that was meant to be played in bad weather. DeSean Jackson tweeted, "It's only snow!!!! Let us play... It must be a lot of fun... I'm ready let's get it on!!" The next day, Rendell told WPEN-FM that the postponement was proof that the United States had become "a nation of wusses." The front page of the Philadelphia Daily News had pictures of Nutter, Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, Eagles president Joe Banner and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in beanie caps, suggesting they were "wimps" for postponing the game. However, Nutter maintained that the city could have had Lincoln Financial Field ready in time for kickoff, and the postponement decision was made by the league and the Eagles.https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=5960674&type=story Governor Ed Rendell sounds off ESPN December 28, 2010 December 28, 2010 This was the 20th NFL game to be played on a Tuesday, but the first since 1946.

The Eagles had a terrific early scoring attempt. After a three-and-out, the Eagles drove into field goal range, but All-Pro kicker David Akers missed wide-right on a 41-yard field goal attempt. The Packers instead snatched the early first quarter lead as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tom Crabtree for the early lead. Green Bay added onto their lead in the second quarter as Rodgers completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver James Jones. All the Eagles could muster in the first half was a 29-yard field goal from kicker David Akers. In the third quarter, after an Aaron Rodgers fumble, quarterback Michael Vick found wide receiver Jason Avant on a 24-yard touchdown pass. The Packers countered right back with an 11-play, 80-yard drive which ended Rodgers chunking a 16-yard touchdown pass to running back Brandon Jackson, taking 6:17 of the clock. At 21–10, the defenses took over for much of the remainder of the game. The Eagles drove into scoring range early in the 4th quarter, but Akers missed another field goal, this time a chip shot from 34 yards, keeping it at 21–10. With 8:56 remaining, the Eagles took over at their own 25. 12 plays and 74 yards later, they faced a fourth-and-goal at the 1. Vick took the snap and rushed forward, barely breaking the plane for a 1-yard touchdown run (with a failed two-point conversion) in the fourth quarter. On the two-point conversion, Vick completed the pass to Celek for the score, but his back heel went out of bounds and back in before he caught the pass, making him an ineligible receiver. The five-yard penalty moved them back to the 7-yard line. Vick's next attempt was incomplete, keeping the score 21–16. The Eagles forced a punt and got the ball back at their own 34 with 1:45 remaining. Vick hit DeSean Jackson for 28 yards to the Packers 38. After back-to-back incompletions, Vick hit Riley Cooper for 11 yards on 3rd and 10, moving the ball to the Packers 27 with less than a minute remaining. However, Green Bay's defense stopped the Eagles' final drive of the game as Tramon Williams intercepted a Vick pass intended for Riley Cooper again, in the end zone, with 44 seconds to go to preserve the win for the Packers.Out of Miracles—Miscues doom Birds do-or-die drive, earlier chances January 10, 2011 Jonathan Tamari The Philadelphia Inquirer E1 The Eagles outgained the Packers and won the turnover battle 2–1. However, the Packers had longer time of possession. Also, All-Pro kicker David Akers, who was 32/38 on kicks in the regular season, missed two easy field goals.
