MNF Open Thread

Not much to discuss as the Eagles are completely handing it to the Redskins. Howeva - the Redskins set up their first score on a nice WHEEL OF DOOM! Wonder if they watched our game against the Illini last week...

I forget what the commercial was, but it had Vick throwing a bomb like 100 yards into the stands. I think it was Nike or Gatorade, and it was obviously computer animated, I'm begining to think it was real.

If it wasn't for the maroon jerseys and yellow pants, I'd think I was watching Matt Millen's Lions teams of yester-decade. That's one thing I like about living in the DC area--watching Snyder's team suck hard.

Whatever they did to Vick in prison should be done to the Lions entire team. If Vick is healthy the entire year, its tough not picking the Eagles to go to the Super Bowl the way the NFC is this year.

as a QB is nothing short of amazing.  Sure he had time to reflect, but to make a complete transformation from a running QB to a pocket passer who can run is very hard to do.  He remains the most exciting player to watch and every players seems to gravitate toward Vick which is another reason why Reid went with Vick instead of continuing to start Kolb.

Redskins could pull off the comeback of the year? We haven't had one yet. They must have re-signed McNabb for a reason, right? Redskins defence looks alive again after a four and out.

So glad I have Vick on my fantasy team.  I was down just under 40 points going into tonite, and he has single-handledly put me in the lead.  It doesn't hurt having Maclin and Akers, either.

Is it just me, or did I see some snaps that looked like the zone read? To see what this guy has done with himself is nothing short of amazing. Pretty cool to see him going down the sideline giving props to his teammates. That's something I think the ATL Vick would have done.

I was at the game last night sitting in the endzone and had the same reaction with some of the formations and executions.  Almost thought I was watching Denard with his speed and it was even more impressive in person.  Seeing it live you could see how fast he was "coasting" and then when he kicked it in gear you could get a much better sense of why the Skins defenders could do little else than flail all over the field trying to catch him.  Truly awesome and a great win for the Igs!

was impressive with his decision-making, knowing when to give up on the pass and run (circa 4 seconds without anyone open); I hope we see similar good (on the field) decision-making from Denard in the future.

Also, how about that one play where he was open for 6+ seconds, hopping around and then delivering straight to Avant's bread basket? Beautiful.

Did you know the Dolphins had to pay Pennington an extra 3 Million if he started even one game this year? They paid it, and he didn't even finish the first quarter. That's one expensive mistake if you ask me...

While I was watching the game I kept thinking to myself "hm..4 wide, 1 back, QB in the shotgun reading options...where have I seen this before?"  Then I saw them run a bubble screen and out of sheer instinct I cringed, expecting a THREETSCREEN 5 feet over the head of the receiver.  Didn't happen, of course.

Good to see Vick back like this.

You just know some liquored up, rose colored glasses wearing Skins fan will argue tomorrow, "after we were down 35-0, we actually out scored them 28-24 the rest of the way, so it's really the story of two games!"
