4 tds for Vick, and drove his team down the field, game winning 56 yd field attempt... ball snapped... whistle blows... 56 yd FG does not count. Second attempt is missed.

OT: Falcons drive the field and kick a game winner.

Solid outing for Vick today. His receivers looked pretty good today, with the exception of Dunn's dropped pass for an INT.

White had a couple drops at the start of the game, but yes it was a definite improvement for the WR's. Crumpler is still the best option for Vick and he really showed why today.

I don't know what you guys are talking about with his receivers dropping passes, though, because I saw quite a few spectacular catches made today.

the first time Atl. had the ball Vick threw a ball that bounce off White's chest for a drop and right before half he threw one to Dunn that skipped off Warrick's hands and into a Pittsburgh LB hands to stop the drive. Those are the two I remember most although I think White had another one. I know every team has drops but before today Atl. had a large amount for as little as they were throwing the ball. The Jenkins catch still amazes me, that was his best play as a Falcon. Not sure of the other "spectacular" catches, which were those?

Maybe the others weren't particularly spectacular, but the receivers seemed to be catching his passes. Dunn's dropped pass for an INT was horrible, but after all he is an RB, and the true receivers looked better.

Other than Dunn, I haven't seen too many obvious dropped passes from Vick. Haha maybe the receivers just seem to play better when I watch them.

I think Vick's main improvement was the velocity on his pass. He seemed to be passing it at the right speed for the most part; something I'd never seen him do before. Crumpler is a huge and pivotal player in Vick's development as a passer. The other thing I was extremely impressed with was Vick's touch on the long ball. Hopefully, this is a big step for Vick, passing-wise, so people like me don't have to waste time and argue over how bad of a passer he is, any longer.

Again, how did they look (in terms of drops) in the other games this season?

Everytime I watched ATL, the receivers seemed to make the reasonable catches, but not necessarily all of the tough ones. I've sometime seen balls thrown harder than necessary that have been deflected, but still somewhat catchable. I would not say ATL receivers have overly impressive hands, but from what I have seen they have caught most of the reasonably catchable balls and have potential to make great catches (Jenkins on Sunday).

looked very good, second game in a row, or maybe its just the bad division :wink2: that being said its two games, honestly i dont see him on tv much where i live. but one thing ive always been a big believer in is inconsistency is the trademark of mediocrity. if puts this game out there more consistently i give mike, mora and the new o cor down in atl big credit.
