You're missing the underlying point by focusing one turnover free game. What about the other 13 turnovers? The turnovers have been a big issue for your offense. Vick shares partial blame for those. Yes, the offensive line is a mess (no argument there!) but a good bit of those turnovers have been interceptions on exceptionally poor throws and fumbles in the red zone. I have to believe there is a reasonable part of your brain that acknowledges that he shares part of the blame for the offense being "broken".
I wanted to add, I agree with you on Foles being inserted. I don't think it will fix anything either but Andy is grasping at straws to keep his job at this point. Just like firing Castillo wasn't going to fix your defense....
Vick shares ton of the blame but I don't see how or why this change is warranted now.
Reid is supposed be trying to win now to save his job. How is inserting Foles going to make a difference? Vick didn't turn the ball over and he had a few bad throws but other than the offense was what is has been. Little to no running game either by choice or due to poor OLINE play. Defenses playing way off the WRs because they are pretty much one trick ponies who can only run deep. The oline can't even block that long to let anything develop.
If anything yesterday the D, which some people were claiming wasn't that bad, really truly showed how bad it is. The Falcons scored 3 TDs on their first three drives and then 3 FGs on the next three. These weren't set up off of turnovers. Just a result of a terrible defense.
And to me the defensive problems are far more troubling. The DLINE was the strength last year and they loaded up even more by drafting a bunch of high prospect DTs and DEs. They traded for DeMeco Ryans at MLB. They let go of Asante because he never followed plays. Everything was supposed to be improved expect now our highly touted DLine can't get any pressure or sacks. They force 0 turnovers.
No part of the team is helping the each other. Special teams sucks, D allowed two back to back fourth quarter comebacks and then let Atlanta walk over them all game, offense can't manage to score more than 14-16 points per game, the coaching has been horrendous and LOL now they want to change QBs because he didn't audible into the right play two times?
I know I still wrote a lot but honestly not even angry anymore. I left the game yesterday in the 3rd quarter because it was cold raining and the team was showing no heart. Plus wanted to be beat the traffic back to NYC in this weather. No anger anymore. This team is a complete joke and its about a get a lot funnier if they bench Vick. This might sound like a long defense of Vick but truthfully he has played horrible at times but in all their wins and even in their losses he has brought the offense back to rally for leads.
The only truly horrible game he was against Arizona. In the losses to Detroit and Pittsburgh the offense regained the lead in the fourth. In the wins against the Ravens, Giants, and Browns Vick had comeback TD drives to win. And now you want to bench him for a rookie QB in a season where not playing the playoffs is going to get your fired? Good luck Reid and good riddance you fat piece of shit.
EDIT: Sorry if I missed it Falcons fans but did one of you give me my avatar for the week?
BTW great game by the Falcons. I expected the Eagles to lose but I didn't expect such destruction of the Eagles by the hands of the Falcons. Don't know how it translates to the playoffs but for now you guys played like the best team in the league.
