I've been getting disgusted when I hear people talking about Vick having "better tools" with him in Philly. But to hear Vick himself point the finger at anyone but himself for having more success now is outrageous.

When I first saw Vick during week one against Green Bay, the difference between his last years here was palpable. It was the Vick we saw in year two when he won in Green Bay in the playoffs, and only occasionally thereafter . . . and NEVER in the last two years, when he did not come from behind ONCE.

TOOLS? Are you freaking kidding me? The difference is that he isn't getting stoned all the time now. The difference is that he's not last to get to practice and the first to leave. The difference is that he does not have the canine distractions.

I'm sorry . . . I hate to curse, and I hate to spoil a nice comeback. I want to applaud Vick for straightening out. But FUCK YOU, Mike Vick, for EVER saying anything but "I'm sorry, Atlanta, you gave me every chance and I betrayed you. I owed you my best and I gave nothing."

And the same goes for anyone who thinks we should have kept him. . . because he never would have changed here.

Let's face it. We are the enabler in a marriage with an addict. He was never going to change while he was here. Good for him for changing when he left.

The thing is, we've got a new man. And he's a winner from day one. And the one thing we know is that Matt Ryan is ALWAYS giving us his best shot.

Fuck you, Mike Vick. Not for what you did or did not do here, but for pointing your finger at us now, and saying it was our fault.

He was too busy with other activities to take advantage of the opportunities given to him by the Falcons.

He's just who I thought he was: an arrogant ass.

He didn't try hard enough, and we never game him enough. Doesn't matter now, because we just beat the Saints! Why you gotta rain on our parade?

If they gave out awards for great posts, this one would have my vote.

He really said that?

Matt Ryan is getting it done with largely the same tools (trade Gonzo for Pro Bowler Crumpler and Turner is an improvement over Dunn/Duckett, but the same wideouts, basically same o-line, etc.). What a doosh.

lets get real. the coaching alone is a 180. roddy himself gave credit for his turnaround to hue jackson and joe horn, not to mention giving it his all. (you probably blame vick for roddy not giving his all too huh?) the oline is not the same by far, quit trying so hard to deny you were somewhat wrong. atlanta didnt give him near the weapons he has in philly. mccoy > dunn, reid>mora, mohrniwieg>>>>>>knapp, jackson/maclin>roddy/jenks (not even close)

so lets get real here.

We could win the Superbowl this year and someone will still be complaining about something.
