EAST RUTHERFORD - Greetings from windy, cold MetLife Stadium, where the Eagles will finish the worst season in coach Andy Reid's 14-year tenure against the New York Giants.

Although the team has not released any information about tomorrow's schedule, speculation is rampant that owner Jeffrey Lurie will fire Reid. Reid is the most successful coach in team history but has failed to make the playoffs since 2010 and hasn't won a playoff game since 2008.

Today's game could also be quarterback Michael Vick's final performance in an Eagles' uniform. Vick, who is starting in place of injured rookie Nick Foles (broken hand), is due to make $15.5 million next season. Vick has already made it clear that he wants an opportunity to be a starter in the NFL next season and the Eagles may not want to give him that chance.

As expected rookie defensive starters Fletcher Cox (defensive tackle) and Mychal Kendricks (outside linebacker) will not play today because of concussions. Derek Landri and Akeem Jordan will start in their place.

Other inactives: tackle Dan Kopa, tight end Evan Moore, running back Chris Polk, wide receiver Greg Salas, guard Danny Watkins.

Enjoy the game.
