Let me be honest, I think last year was a fluke. I like Mike Vick, but no one person can make that team good. Not even SUperman. If I were Vick, I'd grab my ankle in practice and sit out the rest of the year.
i think that the falcons will prove you wrong next year and the many years to come. There d has had no heart till the giants game and they lost there leader. Vick is a guy who can create magic with his feet and will next year, our d has been giving up to much and we get out of the running game in the second half when it was working. look back and they were in every game until midway thru the 3rd period when dan got away from the run. he stayed with it against the giants and look what happened. Vickis superman!!!!!!
Mike Vick is a savior for the falcons and with the talent around him now as opposed to last year, they will be a dominant force to reckon with!!! Mark my words!!!
a men mensus, finally some respect for #7. You dont go into lambeau feild in the playoffs and dominate favre and the gang on a fluke!! dont forget the wipe your quincy slimer!!!!
Injuries were a big factor with this team. They probably were not as good as we thought last year but when healthy they are not as bad as they are this year. They are somewhere in between. Vick is a big loss but they have bigger losses on defense. If they can fill their holes on defense by getting healthy and free agency/draft; maybe sign Terrell Owens in offseason, they will be back in the thick of the playoff race next year.
The Falcons should tank the rest of the year and get the 1st pick overall in the draft. From there they can trade that pick to another team for 2 1st round picks and take 2 stud defensive players.
