But Miami lost to the Bills, who got beat by the Raiders. The Rams always have a let down game or two under Martz.

you could argue the rest of the team sucks. But they do have Tomlinson. You could argue they don't have good recievers, yet neither does Atlanta. Maybe it's the defense.

I like the cool rock music they are playing during the commercial outros( and prior to the game start) on the sunday night games . This week is a Ministry song (burning inside). I think last week was Marylin Manson.

Back in 2002, Vick drove that team by himself. They had a decent rushing attack, but a lot of that was Vick. Dunn had close to 1000 yards and Duckett at 500, but Vick had over 750 yards rushing himself. He also had almost 3000 yards passing.

The recievers were crap, the offensive line was crap, and the defense was simply above average.

Vick also went to Lambaugh was beat the Pack on their own turf. This was one case of one person being the team.

How are ELWAY and YOUNG not running QBs? Don't give me those they passed first... Vick has much more attempts than rushing plays. Young ran just as much as Vick does now when he started with the Niners.

Montana also ran a lot during the 80s. I think he still holds the record for rushing yards for a QB in the Superbowl (like 55 yards or something).

The only differnce is that there are plays where Vick is supposed to run.

Young would take off on his own.

I know, I watched him thorugh college, USFL, and NFL.

Not really. As Tubs said, the only difference is that there are like 5 plays a game where Vick is supposed to run.

I mean look at the stats. In Vick's first year as a starter, he ran 112 times. In Young's 8th year (1992), he ran 76 times. Some of the difference is the few called runs, but most of it is that Young's recievers would actually get open!

Full PM-box? Change here!

As I've said. If Atlanta makes the NFC championship game, then I'll admit I was wrong .

I still believe efficient passing is the way to win it all.

I believe to truelly be great, a QB has to learn how to pass.

I used to hate Donavan McNabb for the same reason. But he has learned to pass now. And he's developed into a great QB.

You mean the same D that was DEAD LAST in the league last year? Before this week, Atlanta was 24th in the league in Points Allowed. San Diego? 23rd. In yards allowed? Atlanta is 23rd and SD is 26th... not that much of a difference.

That D was sure great last week in KC!

The D has been overrated so far in Atlanta. And the D for San Diego hasn't been that bad at all in the last few years. It's the offense.
