Michael Vick got hurt, again, and the Philadelphia Eagles wilted at the end to lose to the Atlanta Falcons. Vick is an exciting player and he’s improved through the years, but I still don’t see this guy leading a team to a Super Bowl win. He gets hurt too often and he turns the ball over as well. Meanwhile, Philly’s defense is still a work in progress.
Vick may miss some time:
He left the game late in the third quarter when blitzing Falcons safety William Moore spun Vick into right tackle Todd Herremans. Vick’s head snapped back like a crash-test dummy. Cameras showed him spitting up blood. He went to the locker room with 1:59 left in the quarter.
Afterward, coach Andy Reid said Vick suffered a concussion. Vick was to fly home with the team, but it appears he will miss Sunday’s home opener against the Giants and that backup Mike Kafka might have played his way into a starting job while Vick recovers.
All of a sudden, the Dream Team is running into some adversity in Philly.
