I dunno if someone already bought this up...You probally know that Vick is questionable for this Sunday's game. Personally, I hope Vick not only plays, but also is at least 90%.
I would much rather beat Vick and the Falcons in a close game than beat Schaub (their backup QB). Here are my reasons, in no particular order:
1. Our defense needs this game...our run defense probally feels they have something to prove. Especially if they want to be one of the best ever. Even the Texans gained about 100 yards in the opener. And we all know what happened against Tampa. Our defense is mad. What better way for our run defense to step up than to stop Vick and Dunn? They were the #1 rushing team last year.
2. JP Losman would feel much better if he beat the Vick-led Falcons, which would do big things for his confidence. As a young player, JP needs to play against and overcome great defenses in order to improve his game. The Falcons have great LBs and an up and coming star in DeAngelo Hall. Let's see how JP reacts after a bad loss against Tampa.
3. As fans and as a team, I think we get too caught up when the Bills win easy games - myself included. If you think about it, the Bills haven't proven much. To be elite, we must beat the elite teams. This weekend will be a great opportunity to start becoming elite.
4. Although it's early in the season, this game could prove to be a turning point for our team. The Falcons get big media attention, and people around the league will pay attention to this game. If we can handle them, look for us to start playing better.
I'm glad JP played poorly against Tampa. It brought him back to Earth. Let's see how he responds.
