    You're from London ON though, look out man. Some of the Eagles fans cant argue properly so they resort to making Canadian comments which are irrelevant. You seem like a classy Eagles fan though.

    You're right about Vick too. He's got improvements to make for sure. Despite the WRs being pretty bad, you cant place all the blame on them. As a team they got work to do, and I hope to see them in the SB real soon.

    Just because we lost the Super Bowl we can't criticize another team? At least we got to the Super Bowl, and we did better against the Pats than most teams in the NFL would.

    Anyway, I'll say it again that I don't think Vick is a good QB. Christ, you guys have Peerless Price. He had 1252 yards and 9 TDs the year before he came to Atlanta. Vick also has Alge Crumpler, a great recieving TE, so don't start this "Vick has no one to throw to" crap. Finneran had a pretty good year in 2002, 838 yards and 6 TD's. I shouldn't have to say anymore, but I know there's going to be another excuse or some kind of "McNabb chokes" post.

    Exactly you cant, because one of your Eagle buddys already told me I couldnt cause the Falcons lost to the Eagles. So according to him you need to shut up too.

    You dont watch Falcons games, therefore dont watch how the WRs play or any of the rest, they are nothing great, however it was clearly said it isnt just their fault.

    For fun: McNabb is a choker!!

    I think we all need to agree that mobile QB's dont have the skills to get it done. So until vick becomes more of a QB and less of RB the falcons wont win jack. We all also need to recognize that in in championship/Super bowl games Mcnabb has 8 ints. That is 1.6 picks per game. That is a LOT!!! Blame the failure on the team, blame the picks on injuries, do whatever you need to do to convince yourself he can win it, so at least you have some hope for next year.

    Hell I've already recognized that Vick has work to do before the Falcons win a SB. I've admitted all that already, but I have the confidence that he will improve and they will go to SB/win it.

    However I dont think the Eagles fans can see their QBs issues and admit to them. Hell will freeze over before they admit anything, even though deep down they know all the things being said about McNabb are true.

    I'll admit McNabb choked in the TB game, but besides that no. The Patriots knew how to get to McNabb and they wore him out, that's what I think. There IS a difference between playing a bad game and choking. I don't think Vick choked in the NFC Championship game either, I just think he was outplayed. There is a fine line between choking and any other reason to play bad, and honestly most people on here cross that on a daily basis.

    Bad game and chokiing are same thing. A bad game becomes choking if you consistently do it in pressure situations i.e. championship games and super bowls

    So McNabb has done it twice, and the other two championship losses definetly don't count. Broken ribs against Carolina, and against the Rams, the Eagles weren't even supposed to be there. Twice does not qualify as consistent for me

    If you are healthy enough to play, you are healthy enough to suceed. Otherwise he allowed his own selfishness to hurt the team by playing when he was too hurt to be productive. So i will let you decide, is he a choker, or a selfish player, either way I dont care, he is not the QB i want

    I do want vick. If i can get him at right salary for a backup QB. He is perfect cuz, he can make plays outside of a passing offense. he is going to do much throwing it, but if you lost your starter, you are putting in someone who hasnt worked with the 1st team much and wont be in sync anyway.
