I've watched enough Brett Favre in my life to know that turnovers kill you, and right now Vick flat out isn't committing them. That, to me, is just as impressive as everything else about his game this year.

And had he been Peyton Manning and got the illegal hit to the head penalty that number would be zero. Im not letting it go.

Well said. I can't think of another QB who wouldn't have turned the ball over at least once with that pressure the Giants were bringing



Which brings me t this: Yea I'm saying Vick had an average game and stuff, but I think it was a product of playing against a GREAT defense

I wouldn't say that defense is great. But they are athletic up front and they do get to the QB well even when bringing just 4 guys. That defense matches up with Vick's style of play particularly well.

Agreed with both posts.

Well I mean if it wasn't for a few drops his average game would have looked like a great game seeing as he would have at least had 2 passing TDs. Reminded me of when he played on the Falcons an Peerless Price would drop TD passes.

I think he had a very good game, he and the eagles need to really do something different in the red zone. The Colts and Gaints should have been blown out, both games should have been over in the first half. They move the ball so well then go into self-destruct mode once they cross the 20.

LOL as a matter of fact they drive it down to the 1 or 3 then its down hill from there. FG after FG drives me crazy.

Other than that Vick still solid.

I thought i was the only one who saw that. smacked him right on his facemask right before he stripped the ball.

our lousy oline brought this on too, Vick has played great, but if the oline wasnt trash, he never would have got to play. Kolb with time to throw is a great qb, kolb with the eagles oline is a scrub. Vics natural speed calms down the pass rush and when he is rushed his athletic ability buys him time.
