Vick Proves Toughness, But Will He Play?

I wonder which hurts more, his ribs, or the loss?

It has been reported that Michael Vick broke two ribs on the second play of Sunday's game, and told no one. He played the entire game with two broken ribs. Now that's tough. Vick has been criticized before for not being tough enough.

I guess he proved his critics wrong.

The injury is most likely the reason for Vick's inaccuracies on Sunday, although he was not willing to put all the blame on the injury.

While his effort seems heroic, what does this mean for the Eagles upcoming game against the Giants? Vick's status is unclear for Sunday night's game. Here's what it means for the Eagles. If he plays, we still have hope. If he doesn't, the season is pretty much over. Why? It's because Vince Young stinks. He is just awful. I, along with the majority of Eagles' fans, believe that Kafka should get the start if Vick is unable to play.

Earlier in the season when Vick went down, Kafka came in and almost led a comeback against the Falcons. If it weren't for a Jeremy Maclin drop, he would have led a comeback against the Falcons.

However, when Vick was "hurt" (London Fletcher, a LB for the Redskins, acted as if Vick were injured), Young came in. What did he do? On his first pass play, he was sacked. On his second pass play? He threw a terrible interception, that put the Skins deep in Eagles territory. Fortunately for him, the Eagles got the ball back and no damage was done.

All in all, the next couple of days should be very interesting.
