Vick is not – repeat not – calling offensive plays from the LOS.

Always with you its the end, disregarding what came before.

The Eagles’ won “despite” Vick, not “because of” Vick.

If not for the butter fingers of a Cleveland LB, and the inexperience of some new refs on the two second last plays of the game, the birds would be 0-2 with a QB whose thrown 7 picks.

“doesn’t matter – Didn’t happen – He Won he won hw won!!” yells Realtalk!!

Realtalk, if Iran one day gets a Nuke and lobs it at Tel Aviv, but it splashes into the Mediterranean….(Ok, I’ll wait while you find it on Google Maps)….will you say, “Hey it doesn’t matter, Tel Aviv is still there?”

The only reason Vick is still a starting QB at this point is due to blind luck on those 2 plays. You do know that don’t you?

When are you going to come up with an independant thought that you haven’t palgerized from the local paper.

You new name is “Coles Notes”

I mean has any “superstar” QB ever been coddled like Vick? – Tom Brady (and all his rules), Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tim Tebow… etc.

People are proud of this Team and how they have fought offensively and defensively showing heart and determination that has not been there for some time now…
People are proud of Vick because they know he’s overcome adversity and has shown leadership in the face of it. I for one am glad he’s had these struggles early because it gave the defense a chance to step up. They did and gave the fans even more to be confident in.

But you woldn’t know what it is to be a true supportive fan would you…. Bucko. LOL!!!!!

“…the Eagles unleashed a hurry-up offense of their own. On the first drive, quarterback Michael Vick called plays at the line, and the Birds marched down the field. The series, of course, ended with Vick’s first interception, but the offense had some success.

The Eagles brought it out later in the game, and, when they needed it on the game-winning drive, Vick ran the no-huddle effortlessly.”

But to add to your point about the quick reads….Its not simplistic offense, its game planning and play scripting….just give coach AR and MM creidt!

Fact, in the beginning of each game, AR scripts the first 10 plus plays of the game…Scripts them so well, that he knows who will be open….This is what AR does, as a coach, give him credit and stop making it out to be a bad thing….so what? fact is Vick has plays where there are multiple reads….

While a guy like Brady may walk to the line with a primary, and 2 (maybe 3 but doubtful) secondaries. (and I say doubtful because it is very seldon that a QB actualy “goes through his reads” like they tell you on TV. It happens, but the average NFL passing play is 2.9 seconds long. Phisically impossible for anyone to look at 4 or more moving targets and assess whether they are open or not in that time). The vast majority of NFL plays are 1st or 2nd reads. Most already decided upon by the QB after he gets to the LOS and reads the coverage, and determining which of his options will be open in 2 seconds later.

Vick is not good at pre-snap reads. Even you, his most ardent supporters must concede this point. Reid knows this. So Reid doesn’t give him the opportunity – sure he gets to change from a pass to a run if he sees a LB dropping off, but every JV gets to do that too. So, Vick walks to the line with a primary and perhaps one secondary.

Reid then runs “slow developing” iso plays because he:
1 – believes in his O-line to be able to hold blocks much longer than league average (Something you clearly do not believe in, constantly saying VIck gets no protection)
2 – he knows he has a mobile QB that can extend plays a little while longer.

So he runs them. Nice. Easy. One read. Sends Mac and Desean as decoys deep and then Celek across the entire field underneath. Couple short hooks to pull up the Safities and Desean deep……whatever.

Remember that early play in Washington last year…deep to Desean. This was a prime example. That was to Desean and Desean only….He was given one target.

This probably also explains other plays that leave us scratching our “why didn’t he see that open guy” heads…most noteably the ill-fated throw to Cooper when Desean and Maclin open underneath. Was locked in from before the snap.

Very different from Brees who I guarantee you walks to the line with a lot more going on in his noggin.

My experience tells me, that when things heat up…and defenses tighten….This kind of simplistic O will not work.

Listen, You think everyone is out to get Vick. Its always everyone else’s fault and all that.

You miss the basic point. Reid and Morning are trying to protect Vick. They design (simple) plays so he can succeed.

I mean has any “superstar” QB ever been coddled like Vick? Simple plays. Simple reads. Constant praise. “I’m so proud of you – so proud” after the comeback the other day….I thought I was watching a junior high game. Maybe afterwards they could all cuddle into bed and re-read “The Little Engine That Could”
