PITTSBURGH --- The conversations, as they will, in and around the Eagles' locker room after their 16-14 loss to the Steelers Sunday were varied, spirited and cliche-coated.
Just about all of them, though, bounced back to one topic: A first-quarter, goal-line-area lost fumble by Michael Vick, who has made 11 turnovers through five games.
What gives?
"I wish I could tell you," Vick said. "But I don't have any explanation."
It's come to that, even in a season where Andy Reid's career is double-parked beside an effective order from Jeffrey Lurie to fashion a winning record.
The Birds are 3-2, could be 4-1, could be 0-5 and could be in trouble if Vick doesn't start protecting the ball.
"I will do a better job of protecting the ball," he said.
Until he does, though, the Eagles should continue to trend to have reached the crisis point.
