WHAT A AWFUL GAME FOR VICK (1 Viewer)

[JuniorNB]

You talk a lot of smack for a fan of a team that didn't even sniff the playoffs. Is that your strategy every year? Root for a terrible team then talk badly of a bunch of playoff teams that left yours in the dust? LOL. Gotta love simpletons.

What a awful game for Vick

That's what I thought, troll. Now go get some friends together and decide who the Broncos should draft in April. They should get a nice early pick. Bwahahahaha

 

[jackdubl]

I guess that explains why Vegas has Green Bay as a 10 point favorite this week. Everyone knows that Green Bay is the better team and Chicago ain't nuttin but a pretender. In fact, I am going to thoroughly enjoy watching Green Bay beat the crap outta those snow averse Eagles in round 1.

I think that spread mostly has to do with the fact that Chicago has nothing to play for next week while GB wins and they are in.

 

[ScottyFargo]

of course you would have an excuse - I'd love you to explain how Green Bay lost to Miami and Detroit . . .

But don't forget they also lost to Washington! If anybody is a pretender, it's Green Bay.

This is all you have left Scotty. Your team is a shambles. Your bravado proven false. You got nothing left but your hate. Which is all you ever had in the first place. Enjoy watching the playoffs when two teams from your division are playing and you are home in your purple Favre jersey eating Lutefisk. It's been great watching the Vikings crumble like the house of cards they always were. That Dallas imploded as well this season after facing the force of nature that is the Green Bay Packers is just icing on the cake.

You're right. The Vikings this season have been the worst a team has played after losing in the NFC championship game since the 2008 Packers finished 6-10 to follow up their NFC Championship loss. Then again, now that the Vikes have a new coach they just walked into Philadelphia with a 3rd string, 6th round rookie QB and made Vick and the Eagles, a playoff team, look silly. Pretty good for a team that's in shambles. But as far as the 2 playoff teams from the NFCN this year goes, I wouldn't be too sure about that. This is the same Green Bay team that lost to Detroit, Miami, and Washington, and if you think a rebound game against the ailing Giants will fix all the wrongs the Packers have, then you're sorely mistaken. And the part about my "bravado being proven false" is particularly telling, since I was the only one of the non-Bear fans who stood his ground mid season about the Pack not winning the NFCN this year, to the dismay of all the Packer faithful, but that doesn't matter now because there's still a chance that the Pack could be the 6th seed? You have a very selective memory.You forgot to take credit for the firing of Singletary too, even though it came weeks after losing to that force of nature team of yours.

While I tend to agree with you, continually bringing up the team he roots for, as though it has any bearing on the conversation, is nothing but a low blow. Try not to go there. I'm a Broncos fan, too, and their terribleness has been a tough pill to swallow for all Denver fans, but has no place in this thread.

Dude, you're a good fan. I've seen your posts here for years. I have nothing against you or the Broncos. You just have to read that tool's posts in this thread. Every team sucks. The Eagles, The Giants, The Bears...all teams in the playoffs or still alive for the playoffs. He's just a troll with zero football knowledge so I was messing with him. I love #####slapping trolls.

[Banger]

lol @ all the Vick vultures that had to wait all year for a "bad" game...pretty sad.

 

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

It's almost like his line feels like they don't have to block for him anymore.

 

[atl3695]

The Vikings made the blue print on how to beat Vick. Rush him hard and hit him on every possible play, sure he burn you for a play or two, but the hits take their toll on big Mike, and it showed in the fourth quarter. I sure all the NFC play off teams took note of what an old/average Viking defense did to Vick, hit hard every play will be the game plan going forward, and have your d rush to the max.I shutter to think what the Saints defense would do to Vick with the type of hits they put out last year in the NFC championship game.

This is the blueprint for EVERY qb in the league. No qb likes getting hit every play! Kolb didnt even last a half behind that line before being knocked out. Eagles have to do a better job with protection and cant just rely on Vick to bail them out every play.

 

[Dexter Manley]

Lovie Smith sez that the Bears are preparing to face the Saints.

That is a blatant diss of Philadelphia. I love it!

Well they have already played Philly, Green Bay (twice) and Seattle, but not the Saints.

 

[two_dollars]

The Eagles are pretenders. They should feel lucky they don't play in the NFC North, where they would finish 3rd.

 

[shadyridr]

If this guy was white & 40 everybody would say he leaves his heart out on the field. Dude takes a pounding. Count me in as someone who will be rooting for him

 

[pghrob]

It might be a bad game, but I am amazed at his toughness. That noted, he needs to learn to start sliding and stop taking so many hits.

Great. Now we get to hear about how Vick is an average qb after teams figured out how to game plan against him. Yeah.

 

[DoctorDetroit]

If the Eagles give him a fat contract, they'll regret it till the day they stop paying him.

 

[cobalt_27]

Great. Now we get to hear about how Vick is an average qb after teams figured out how to game plan against him. Yeah.

What have you seen lately that tells you differently?Could also be a combination of gameplanning + being banged up. Somewhat of an increased risk with his brand of quarterbacking.

[The Berry Man]

Took a little time, but it looks like the league has caught up to Vick, whose game is largely based on smoke and mirrors that take advantage of his athleticism. I think he'll continue to struggle moving forward, especially if he stays in PHI.

There's no need to get vulgar. Additionally, he's right. The league has caught up to him.

Really? From what i saw he was the only thing keeping them in the game at all. Save for a missed fg they would have won this game. Maybe we watched two diffferent games.

[Go deep]

He doesnt know how to slide. They had Atlanta Braves players trying to teach him a few years back, and he still couldnt figure it out. Its actually quite funny to watch him try though.

 

[JuniorNB]

If Vick was a truly good quarterback, he would have made those two field goals.

You're right. Philly should drop the guy who will be the runner-up to the league's MVP. Peyton Manning and Drew Brees should be released as well. They didn't win their playoff games either.

It didn't need fixing, Einstein. Akers makes one of those field goals, and Philly only needs three to win at the end. Vick isn't forced to throw to the end zone. Vick played just fine and had an awesome season. He can't kick field goals.

If Akers makes that field goal, the result of every play after that is totally different. Either way, the Packers still win that game. Other than 1 quarter the Giants gave to Vick, he has looked terrible for the last month+.

Looked good to me today. Thought he had a very impressive game against a tough defense.

While Vick hasn't looked like the MVP of the league, I think it's a pretty big stretch to say he's played "terrible" for the last month. He didn't have his best game today but certainly was not the primary reason for the loss.

Maybe your right, today is an impressive performance for Vick. How many career playoff wins does he have? Expecting anymore than what he did today is not very realistic.

Vick has had 1 bad game in the last month, against the Vikings. Other than that game and today his QB rating was over 90 in ever other game of his "terrible" month.And the average QB rating against the Pack this season was 67. Vick had a rating today of 80, threw for 292 yards and a TD, and ran for another score. He didnt play lights out today but he played pretty well against a tough D. If he continues to work as he has this past season and off-season, I cant wait to see what he can do with another year in Reid's system.

Some people are just irrational losers who get off on seeing other people fail and hating people they don't even know. Se la vi.

Pretty funny you calling other people out for not "knowing football," but then try and put Vick in the same sentence as these two.Manning and Brees have the athletic ability and mental power to defeat NFL defenses, and have a long track record of doing so. Vick has a very unique set of talents upon which a somewhat specialized/gimmicky offense is built. Once that puzzle is figured out and some of those specific things Vick does well are taken away or limited, the holes in Vick's game become fatal. Exhibit A is this disappointing end to the Eagles season when Vick was in the MVP discussion at the mid-season point.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

he did?

what language is this?

 

[faulkfan]

I think it was also a bad day for the Eagles offensive line, the offensive coordinator. Ever think of some quick passes before the blitz was on top of Vick?

GB did what they learned you need to do to beat Vick; they blitzed and contained so he couldn't run. He made bad decisions and couldn't save himself with his feet turning him into the equivalent of Matt Cassel.The question now becomes, how much did he cost himself on the new deal he will be getting from either the Eagles or someone else if they choose not to franchise him?

The Eagles weren't even supposed to be a playoff team this year. Everyone picked them to be no better than third in the division this year. They lost the two players those playoff teams were built around (McNabb and Westbrook). Thios playoff season was just gravy. Their offensive nucleus is three guys under 25 (Jackson, Maclin, and McCoy). Vick wasn't even supposed to be the starter.What he did this year was truly amazing and the Eagles would have been a .500 team without him, if that. If you think this was a disappointing season for the Eagles, then you know even less than I originally thought.

 

[Go deep]

How are 5-6 guys suppose to block 7? Its up to Vick to read the blitz and adjust accordingly, something he is not capable of. Its certainly not the offensive lines fault.

Yeah, Cassell and Vick had really similar games today.My goodness, there is really no use in even discussing Vick with some people.

I didn't say it was a disappointing season. I said it was a disappointing end to the season. If you're going to put so much time and effort into posting here, please put a similar effort in reading what you are responding to.Aside from screwing up what I said there, you also seem incapable of understanding what I've said since enterting this thread. I am not saying anything about how the Eagles would have been without him. I'm sure they would have been worse. I don't know what people picked the Eagles to be in the division this year, and nothing I've said about Vick is related to that. I don't know why you're talking about the Eagles losing McNabb, Westbrook, or giving me information about the age of the offense.

The point is, and has been, that Vick does not have the attributes that make a quarterback elite, and that much of his success this year was the lull in time that it took for the league to adjust to him. He had a nice little run there, but he's not Manning, not Rivers, not Brady, hell, not even Ben Roethlisberger. He's a gimmicky, fun player to watch, and the Eagles will probably be competetive with him for the life of what I'm sure will be an outrageous contract, but he will never win a Super Bowl. I thought Eagles fans would have had enough of doing really well but never winning a Super Bowl, but apparently not because they're about to sign up to do it again for the next 3-4 years.

Every team but one has a disappointing end to the season, genius.And maybe you're right. Maybe Vick will never be an 'elite' quarterback. But as far as I know, Brady, P. Manning, and Breees aren't available. And I do know that the Eagles made the playoffs this year because of Michael Vick.

Let me know the next time you think a sure-fire Super Bowl winning QB becomes available. I value your opinion. You sure seem like a football guru. Bwahahaha
