Mike Vick currently: 9-for-9 229 yards 3 TDs, 3 rushes 26 yards 1 TD. Eagles are up 35-0 at the start of the 2nd quarter. He has almost 30 fantasy points in a quarter!

Mike Vick is BLOWING UP. I've never seen a game like this in primetime. Just complete dominance. What a fantasy day already. This is surreal.

Edit: Vick's numbers at halftime: 5 TDs, 66 Rush yards, 264 Pass yards. That's like 47 fantasy points... at halftime. Last time I remember numbers this crazy at a halftime was years ago when Shaun Alexander ran for 6TDs in the first half (I think).

He ended with 57 fantasy points in my league, that's unheard of.

Haha I know dude, just think of how many fantasy owners were either crushed or saved by his game. I know in my league the dude was down by like 45 points and Vick pulled the victory for him. Crazy, crazy performance. LT has been great this year, but Vick is a lock for Comeback player of the year and could be an MVP candidate if he keeps up what he's doing. I know he missed some games, but still no interceptions. Truly amazing what he is doing after spending two years in the pen.

wow! pats-colts 2010

I was so sure we were going to be blown out.

later, I was so sure we were going to score on the final drive, at least pushing it to OT. then peyton threw a terrible pick.

at least the other contenders in the AFC south are falling apart. the titans have major QB issues, the texans are dogs, and the jags just aren't that good.

edit: wtf the jags won. they should have a 1/2 game on us now. that shouldn't last long though.

who else hates the blitz on sunday/monday sportscenters? the duo of berman/jackson is absolutely terrible. anyone else feel me? they offer no insight, just annoying inflection(berman) and a ton of mmhmm's(jackson).

I feel that way about pretty much the entirety of ESPN and their affiliates.

I LOVE watching the Pats and Colts every year. Always number one on my must-see list. Peyton is hand-down the greatest QB of all time. Most of his offense is backups. Almost every pass seems perfect, and most of his picks are cause guys ran the wrong route (Like Garcon did on that one pic). The pick at the end of the game was bad, he shouldn't have thrown it. But his release was affected by the pass rush or else I think he wouldve completed it. He just had to change his arm angle and didn't quite get it over Sander's head. But still, I watched the entire game and there were a few plays that easily could have been caught (One that comes to mind is the Tamme badly timed jump in the endzone, Clark would've easily caught it). Peyton is just so poised though, no other QB would have led his team back and gave them a chance like he did. He just manages the clock so well, and mentally is just head and shoulders above the rest of the world. That fade route to Reggie on 3rd down for the TD was just a gem. I'm not a Colts fan, but I just love Peyton for everything he does. Colts still have that division I think. Titans are a mess and they won't win without a QB. Everyone always picks the texans to be good and they never are... and the Jags are a bad team that has got some nice wins, but they don't have what it takes to sustain it and win the division. My Falcons are still rolling along, beat the Rams on the road. Next week it's packers @ Atlanta which could be the best two teams in the NFC (Philly could be argued). Very excited for the game

On another note, despite being in jail for three weeks I'm still tops in my league. It's a beautiful thing.
