He also kicked a 63 yard FG and sacked McNabb 4 times. ---

Kid’ll never be an effective NFL quarterback. ---

I was down 60 points in this weeks fantasy football game. Guess who had Vick playing tonight? He put up 67 points in the first half for me. ---

4 passing tds. This is a huge scoring game. Wow. McNabb is avg at best. Can’t believe they just signed him to that huge extension. ---

4 minutes to go. The Eagles may score another 59 points before they’re done. ---

Mmm, I’d say it’s more a matter of the Skins suck than the Eagles are great. Don’t get me wrong, the Eagles have a good team, they have for more than a decade, but you gotta give credit where credit’s due, and in this case the credit’s gotta go to the Redskins for this one. This is coming from a Skins lifer, BTW. ---

This is coming from a Skins lifer, BTW. Any time a QB throws for 4 TD’s, rushes for 2 more and averages 10 yards a rush…it isn’t just because your team sucks, its because the other guy or team (or both) are just that much better than you. ---

You gotta feel for McNabb. It sucks losing to your former team at home in the rain. At least he’s got that 40 mil to comfort him. ---

I can’t watch the game but did I just read the recap correct that he has 130 RUSHING yards? 3 TDs in the 4th quarter? ---

That is correct. He brought the Eagles back from 24-3. The Eagles scored four TD’s in something like 6 minutes. Vick was bottled up for the first 3 quarters, but he was ridiculous in the 4th. ---

Yeah, he had a few 20+ yard runs in the last 7 minutes the 4th quarter, when they scored 4 TDs. This guy might want to rewrite his [article](http://bleacherreport.com/articles/547524-nfl-week-15-news-fantasy-injury-stats-and-around-the-league-updates/entry/35666-michael-vick-mvp-eagles-qb-vick-loses-mvp-race-with-poor-play-against-giants) congratulating the Giants on keeping Vick contained. 😛 ---

> [@brickbacon](#): > > You gotta feel for McNabb. It sucks losing to your former team at home in the rain. At least he’s got that 40 mil to comfort him. Only if the Skins keep him for next year. If McNabb gets cut, he gets bupkis. Look for McNabb to be cut. Or traded.
