I agree with this. I was more worried when Vick was knocked out of the game. Vick sucks, Philly is just finding that out because I feel that there backup Fols played pretty good considering. Funny how you are now reading "Vicks concussion is worse than we thought" from Eagles camp. Interpret that to say they needed a reason and now have one to bench Vick.

why do people do this? they bring up saving plays as if we should have been beaten badly or something. We won, it is the name of the game. Those fumble recoveries, penalties at crucial moments, even non-calls are all part of the game. We beat them unquestionably.

If you wanna play the 'if that wouldn't of happened...' game, then maybe certain players in key moments would of seen the "other" score (had those key plays not happened) and made different key plays happen. You never know what motivations there would be in different situations. That is why it is dumb to look at a game that way.

Probably. We forced them to punt several times with him in. Only reason Maclin got a TD was because Peprah blew coverage and he was wide open in the EZ.


It's time for fans to stop hating and come to the
realization that Romo is a great QB. It's time to stop
with the ignorant cliches, and realize that using a
"botched FG" as an excuse to equate that mistake to
Romo's QBing abilities. - D29Murray

They still win soundly.

Just like they did.

Vick is overrated. Hasn't been good in years.

He is an overglorified RB playing QB.
G.R.O.G. CLEAN HOUSE JJ.

I'm on board with this.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Is this even a serious question.

Micheal Vick has been having a rough season. And we all know down there in Philly it's real cut throat when it comes to their Qb's. Hell they complained about Mcnabb when he was playing good.

I also doubt any of you watched Foles in College. He played for the U of A Wildcats, how many of you are scouting him. I watched some of his games live and from time to time watched him on TV. He was about as average as they come.

I'm not saying we would of lost. But It surely could of been a different game.

The Same Vick that shredded our defense last year and played lights coming off the cell blocks.

Have you guys considered the fact that Philly possibly has the very worst offensive line in Football and their coach is more one dimensional than Garrett.


Jeez and we complain about other fans and claim they don't know crap about Football.

They actually don't. They're rated above us.

I agree with your disagreement, Vick had a 120+ rating in progress, we would have had far less of a chance to win had he stayed in the game.

Have you considered the possibility that you are wrong?

Now I know this is a real long shot here.

But for this topic and others going forward, you may want to consider the possibility that if 9 in 10 responders dissagree with you, you may actually be wrong........

OR you can continue living in this alternate reality of yours where you're so much smarter than everyone else.

38 - 23. It is, what it is. Lopsided.

Instead we've got a nation of golden retrievers that runs madly after the tennis ball, barking and wetting itself and stepping all over each other from one end of the field to the other each week. Barking, gnashing, peeing, blaming the play calling. Either way, however we react, the guy doesn't actually throw the ball until the end of the season. He's messing with us, you guys! You can see...he's holding the ball in his other hand and just pretending to throw it!

Also, CB play is really, really important.
Very well played.
