Jesus Christ. Michael Vick may be putting up the greatest game in the history of the quarterback position.

I can't tell if this will stick with Vick.  Is he really this good?  Or did teams forget how to scheme for him?  Kevin Kolb weeps in a corner of dispair.

I hate the guy, and every week that he's played I've tried finding something to point out that he did wrong. Washington has a shitty defense, and it was only a matter of time before they broke, but...Jesus. As much as I want to stab Jon Gruden in the neck with a pair of scissors, Vick really did look like a black Steve Young out there.

The old Vick used to take off running and try to gun it off balance at the first sign of trouble. This mature, rehabilitated Vick finds just enough room to use his hand cannon to devastating effect. It's exactly the kind of thing that ought to ruin the Bears' defense. And Philly has the kind of receivers that can stretch the hell out of the field. Of course, it ought to ruin the defense of all the teams I hate the most too, so there's that.

The only hope is that Vick adds to his highlight reel of hits that he takes unnecissarily before ending up on the shelf with a torn something or other.

How would you like to see the Bears play these dudes in Philly come January? Fuck... shit. /Sadsack Apex

Also, take it down a notch, son. He was undeniably brilliant last night, but that was also against a Redskins defense that ranked 30th in the NFL before last night and had zero pass rush. DeSean Jackson just did what Johnny Knox should have done and pulled a double move on Hall to take advantage of that fucker sitting one every god damn short route. The Redskins had been lucky before the Detroit game that they were winning the turnover battle despite opposing teams moving the ball at will against them. Besides, the defenses that Vick has faced this year as a starter: Detroit (21), Jacksonville (28), Washington (32), and Indianapolis (18). I'm not opening any veins until I see that he can outrun or fool the Peppers/Briggs/Urlacher Triumvirate of Pain.

Their defense is fast and hits hard too. They may not be the 1988-89 49ers but I still wish ill upon them.

And is 22nd in the NFL in points allowed.

Don't get me wrong. They're a very good team. But there's a reason they have 3 losses. They allowed Kerry fucking Collins to score 27 points on them in the 4th quarter.

None of that matters. Nothing happening now will matter come January.

What about come November 28?

It's gonna be a donnybrook. But it won't matter come January. Unless it affects the homefiled advantage situation. Then it will matter a lot.

Apropos of nothing, but haven't both franchises historically pissed away home field advantage in the playoffs?  I seem to recall one Philly/Chicago game in particular, to say nothing of Philly pissing it away in back-to-back years with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

That's why it might matter so much. The loser of that game is going to be in excellent position to avoid a humiliating home playoff loss.

See, I would have saved a couple words and just said that it won't matter unless it matters.

Unfortunately, there weren't any qualified kickers available that had never missed a single field goal.

I listened to the second one first - if the first one is as good as this, well then. Because WOW.

EDIT: OK - the first one was great but I actually felt somewhat bad for that guy. And he was funny in a less embarrassing way. The first guy was a blubbering retard and I don't feel bad for him at all.
