I believe they keep continuing this to see if he can show some, any type of success and then use Vick as trade bait. The thing is, any competent GM that is looking at Vick should know the Eagles would owe him $6 million next season and likely would not exercise that option anyway so he's going to be a free agent after this season.
Uhhh, if it's the 4th quarter, and you're down 17 and on the 36 yard line, why on Earth would you punt? Either go for the 4th and 14 or try the 53 yard field goal. But punting at the 36 when you need points?
It seems like he looks worse and worse every time they put him out there. I guess because usually the play is very conservative.
I was shocked he fell so far in the draft. I felt you guys had a steal in him. Hopefully it works out.
Well there goes any chance of me getting those points I needed. Oh well, I'll gladly take an Eagles victory over fantasy football any day of the week
the skins are hilarious i love going to work every week and making fun of them.. even when they win ugly. at least this year, no one is saying they're going to the super bowl for once
I ended up winning my game this week by 4.5. I got 5 points of the soon-to-be world famous Stylez G. White...DL for Tampa Bay. Don't doubt the power of Stylez G. It that isn't the greatest name in the NFL, I don't know what is.

That was mean. I'll always make fun of AP for going to OU "because they had a better chance to win a national championship", but it's quite clear he is the best RB in the game today.
Although that play by Peterson is awesome, how come there is no helmet to helmet penalty when AD clearly lowered his helmet and smacked Gay in the facemask? Why the double standard? If a defender does that then its automatic flag and possible ejection. I thought the point of helmet to helmet rule was to protect players on BOTH offense and defense.
The rules state that a tackler can not use his helmet to butt, spear or ram an opponent. The rules also state that no player can use the top of his helmet unnecessarily. When looking at the AP play, it looks like he was leading with his shoulder and the helmet contact was incidental so the rule would not apply here.
