What sucks is that should we lose every idiot who can't respect the fact we beat the Eagles in a hard fought game earlier this year will be like "see I told you that game was a fluke"

A win is a win. But what also sucks is when we can barely score a TD because of an average QB and a average coaching staff and we play against a team or teams that do everything under the sun to hand us the game or our defense is handed or force multiple turnovers and we only win by 1 point... you'll see "idiots" say how much we dominated our opponent or we looked good. Please.

If Vick stays in the entire game the Eagles will dominate us. They would have beat us the first time had he done so. That is a fact.

Now when they destroy us Monday night, what we will see is a bunch of Koolaid drinkers saying " Well if we had CP, or if we has Torain, or if we had Banks, and so on.

I understand football is a game of variables. Injuries, luck, wind, ect. But the Skins need to prove they are good enough to win when these elements are not in place. They have only shown me that one time this season.

A win is not a win. Teams that go all the way win with authority. We beat the Eagles by 1 point without their starting QB, what makes anyone think we will beat them if he stays in.

If the Eagles do beat us, I for one won't say I told you so, because I already have.

Thats as real as it gets.

Its a win minus...I think the NFL needs to rethink the tiebreaker rule. Get a plus/minus system added to the mix

The fact is if we had won by 21 points you would bet your house on this game but because of the way we "won" you can't be so sure. That is why I say a win is not a win. The way you win tells the true story.

The truth is nobody knows what to expect from McNabb. Yes, we beat the Eagles, but they shut McNabb down for the last 3 quarters of football. I say that continues for the next 4 quarters.

A win is not a win. It's the way you win.

I'm certainly not going to say it was a fluke. That's just a ridiculous statement. But Vick going out was a huge break for us and it was a factor in us winning the game. We still almost lost it with Kolb in there.

We were up 14-0 when Vick left the game. I remain unclear how the Eagles' losing a qb who had led the offense to zero points was a "huge break" for us.

The only relatively objective yardstick for judging the Vick-Eagles vs. the Skins is that 14-0 score. Everything else is just speculation.

I grant that Vick is having a great year. But some folks here are turning Vick into a superman which Vick is not.

Can't say it any better.

I would also say we weren't done too big of a favor when we knocked Steve Jackson out of the St Louis game since then they moved to a passing attack that we were not prepared for or able to deal with.

Don't forget about their backup RB, he ran through our defense a bit.

You say we were winning 14-0 like we had them beat already. What happened with the Texans? Up 20-7 and lose the game. The Rams lit us up at the beginning of the game when we played them and we could have come back but didn't. Just because teams jump out to early leads in no way means they are going to win. Not in today's NFL.

Especially with Vick who is a dual threat through the air and on the ground. He is so hard to contain. I would consider it a huge break when you take that off the field in favor of a young QB with limited experience who is not a dual threat like Vick. No, Vick is not piling up Philip River number at QB but gaudy passing yards and lots of touchdowns doesn't always make you an elite QB.

In Atlanta, Vick did not have a great pass completion percentage at QB. Since his return he has learned how to throw the ball better and has shown he can still run. I am not saying he is the best QB, or "superman" as you put it. But he is definitely playing at an elite status this year with the mvp talk mentioning his name. There is way more to look at than just the "only relatively objective yardstick for judging the Vick-Eagles vs. the Skins is that 14-0 score".
