I agree. I think the biggest doubt I have in the Eagles is their defense. Even if the o-line for the Eagles can hold up the Packer's secondary is one of the best in the NFL.
The Eagles need to relieve some pressure off of Vick, he has more rushing TDs than your top RB, (McCoy). On-top of that, he isn't consistently afforded a lot of protection, especially against teams with a good passrush, so he's constantly on the run taking hits.
The Viking's defense essentially played the same game the Giants did in the first 3 1/2 quarters of their last game. Which is blitz! Vick is fast and he can still make plays against a good passrush, but he's going to take hits and it's only a matter of time before he's spent.
For the Eagles to win, they need to step up their running game and their defense. Let Vick take care of the rest.
