Missed the game while visiting the parents, nice win but did McCoy get hurt or something? He only had 6 carries...

They were just splitting up the carries between him and Weaver early on....and Vick got a couple....then before you know it they were up by a bunch and just sat him the rest of the game. He wasn't really doing too much running the ball though.

Yeha teams key on him. When he is in there the playbook shrinks because he can't protect. Defenses know to look for two things when he is in the game: screen or run. If Donnie drops back when Shady is in the backfield the d-line almost stops rushing. If he hands off they are run-blitzing trying to shut him down before he gets started.

Can they please get rid of the McCoy singleback running plays now? They don't work. They won't ever work.

Which means Reid'll be calling them for the next 6 years.

Did anyone else notice how many Eagles fans were in the house yesterday? Christ... it sounded like a home game for them at times.

Atlantans = worst sports fans ever.

Florida & LA Pro sports Fans want some of that...

There were quite a few. But not as many as I've seen at other games. We want Vick chants immediately got him on the field, and seemed to alter Reid's game-calling. Too bad nothing his own fans chant ever gets taken seriously.

It was surreal - I've never seen a fanbase more passionately cheer for the other team's TD like the two Vick TDs.

saying the falcons have a fanbase is being very generous

General_Failure · December 07, 2009, 12:32:51 PM

They have Vick jerseys, at least.

Against a backup OT, killa was completely absent from the box score. No tackles, no sacks, nothing. Seemed like he had a better day than that...

There was quite a few falcons jerseys in the audience. They were clearing out after Vick's first TD, and then flooding out after Brown's TAINT. Guy in front of us (who was cheering Vick on like a muther-farger) said as much - that the Falcons' fanbase sucks.
