Smells to me like an excuse. I watched that entire game and he didnt take a nasty hit to the midsection or look in obvious discomfort until Lenon drilled him, helmet first, right into his rib cage on the 2nd to last play of their 2nd to last drive.

I dont doubt he broke some ribs, but he had already laid his egg on that game.

We pretty much manhandled them. Here's an injury update after the game:

Vick: 2 broken ribs.
DRC: High ankle sprain, possible torn ligaments.
King Dunlap: Concussion.
Maclin: Shoulder and AC joint.

What do you call Michael Vick with 2 broken ribs?

A good start.

That's a lot of injuries for a team full of divas who do everything possible to avoid contact.

Eagles = Soft

Wait, wait, wait.. so there's a chance that both Vince Young and Matt Leinart may be starting next week?! The 2006 draft just called excitedly and proclaimed "Victory shall be mine!!"

One of my favorite plays of the game was Steve Smith doing his best JJ Arrington impression and diving down to avoid contact about a yard shy of the 1st down.

Saw that and as shocked as I was to see JJ pull that, I was equally shocked when Smith ducked for cover... NFL players just don't do that... well, most anyway! :D

It was a hit that Adub made really early on. I saw him grabbing at his side and wondered what his issue was.

I was really glad we knocked the crap out of Vick all day. Thats the price Philly has to be made the pay for allowing that guy to run and try to make plays they way they do. On the other hand, Skeletor who has the size to take some shots still slides a yard before the first down, just as he should. If Vick doesn't ever have to slide we should try to knock the holy smoke out of him every time we get a chance. I'm glad we did.

I'm 99% sure it was the hit by D Wash on a pass rush. They showed it on ESPN on NFLN.
D Wash may be a little under "ideal" weight but he plays with power. Every game I see at least one play where he squares up and hits the ball carrier and drops them or knocks them backwards.

I'm not buying the broken ribs at all. The Eagles are just looking for an excuse for getting their rears handed to them in the 4th Quarter.

We all know that if we had broken any of Vick's bones he'd have thrown for 400 yards and 4 TDs.
