The Eagles are mortal for sure. I think we split with them this year.

Falcons are legit.

Sad part is theres still a certain sect of Atlanta that wishes the Falcons never got rid of Vick and view Ryan as terribly overrrated. It's a small sect but big enough nevertheless. I remember on draft day one guy called into the local radio insisting that the Falcons trade Ryan and their first round pick to the Panthers so they can draft Newton and that Ryan's arm was so weak that he couldn't possibly make use of newly acquired possession receiver Julio Jones.

BTW the guy wasn't kidding he really wanted to trade Ryan and a first round pick to Carolina for Newton.

That's messed up.

I know. Sadly there's a lot of people, both white and black, that are flat out racist in Georgia. I saw white people give John Rocker many standing ovations the season after his famous SI interview. I've also heard many people who seem to care more about having a black QB then having a good QB.

Heck some of them even gave Vick the same treatment the NAACP writer gave McNabb a while back during his time in Atlanta for trying to stay in the pocket and become a better passer instead of tucking and run when Mora brought in the WCO. Once even heard a black guy say "N-word need to stop tryin ta play like a damn kracka and run dat s**t." And again it works both ways, some people love Ryan simply because they like having a white QB.

Granted these people are in the minority on both extremes, but it's still sad that theres enough of them left to make it an issue.

This still goes in in Georgia? Shocker! lol. I was watching the game last night and couldn't help but notice that all the white Alt. fans had on #2 jerseys and all the black Atl fans had on #7 jerseys. To a lot of the black folks down there in Atl it's like Vick is some kind of cult hero or something. I just don't get it.

It should be no surprise that racial attitudes are more prevalent in the south. The blacks wearing Vick's jersey could be construed as having an allegiance to Mick Vick based only on race, which is foolish. But much of, I believe, is symbolic of a cultural resentment, that has existed within the African-American community, towards our judicial system that pre-dates the civil rights era going all the way back to slavery.

And then you have those that are Mick Vick fans through and through regardless.

Well to be fair I saw a couple of black people wearing Matt Ryan jersey's today, but yeah that was kind of funny during the broadcast how all the people they showed on camera wearing Ryan jersey's were white and all the people wearing Vick jersey's were black. Sometimes though it's hard to tell who was wearing Vick jersey's because that was the only jersey they owned or if it was because they were a member of the "Atlanta Vicks."

Don't get me wrong, the Atlanta area is a great place to live, some of the nicest, most hospitable people you'll ever meet. Just realize that every now and then you're going to see and hear things that make you scratch your head. lol.

Go Falcons!

[wilsowilso]

F the Eagles!

Tony G. may not be the massive playmaker he once was, but he's been clutch for the Falcons tonight. Nice to see them sticking it to the Eagles, now if their defense can stop Vick they really have a good shot at getting a W tonight.

I dropped Tony G in favor of Fred Davis and now im wondering if I made the the right move.

Beating any NFCE opponent is more than sweet enough. I love watching every other nfce team lose any and every game they play.
