Vick's press conference

[imac_21]

Did anyone see it? He was complaining (you could tell because he said he wasn't complaining when he finished complaining) about the hits he takes.

This could be a problem for us next week if he plays. It's the old basketball/hockey trick of complaining about the officials not making calls so that you get those calls the next game (see: Jackson, Phil). With our front 7 being undeniably the strength of our defense, they could throw flags every time we breathe heavily near Vick. He could look like a soccer player flopping around to draw flags.

That's if he plays of course. If he does play, i would imagine that hand injury would make him more vulnerable. I'm more concerned about the false starts.

You really think the refs are sitting there and watching to see how they should call the game? Lets hope not.

I don't think it's a conscious thing, but the Philly QB, who is a superstar and a pretty popular player in the NFL has complained about not getting the calls that other QBs around the league get. The game is in Philly. To think his comments will not at least subconsciously effect the officials is naive.

Hopefully, it backfires and he doesn't get some close ones for cryin' about it. Next week's game is one we have no business winning, but all of a sudden the Iggles are lookin' shaky.

Hopefully he doesnt play. But lets face it we never beat Philly.

Yes, he definitely brought attention to himself and if he does play, I'm prepared for some flags to cover the ref's ass.

We need our guys to be smart but then again, we never reach the QB lol...

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm willing to set the over/under on borderline roughing the passer calls at 1.5 and take the over.

On the flip side, if the refs think he's complaining about their calls, it could backfire on him, but I seriously doubt that.

On a side note, he should really be complaining about his O-line. They are the ones getting him killed.

So the NBA will be back on sunday then?

 

[threelittleturds]

I was always under the impression that the NFL officials react the opposite way from NBA officials. Once you criticize them, you sign your own death warrant... you make them look bad, and then they'll make sure to start flagging you for everything.

I can never forget the 1997 Playoffs against the Packers, full of bad calls and even calls where the NFL sent that apology to the 49ers afterwards that they missed the calls and the officials were wrong. Mooch and the players made a big stink about it and complained about the crew... and then the next time they got that crew in 1998 in Buffalo, the 49ers had something like 27 penalties thrown against them, but only 22 stuck because there were quite a few off-setting penalties

Dilfer basically called Vick a pussy on ESPN

"I'm not blaming the refs, but I just think everybody needs to do their job".

Okay?

 

[renocam]

He's right. Everyone has to do their job. Even a sniper hired by the ASPCA has a job to do.

 

[RedneckNiner]

Poor Abused Mikey Vick... I have as much sympathy for that waste of genetic material as he did for the dogs he tortured and killed. In a perfect world he'll have a bad game and the Philly Fans will electrocute him for... losing.

I rep dilfer....

 

[coffeeman]

If I were the 49ers I would be sending in my own tapes to the NFL this morning. Brooks wasn't off sides which led to a Dallas TD, Crabs looked like he was in bounds for that TD catch and I am sure they could find something from the Seattle game.
Bad teams don't usually get many calls but come on Zebras...

 

[BrawlinHawkeye]

Vick is a classless piece of shit. None of those hits were late or uncalled for. Somebody should remind him that he is playing football not soccer. It's ironic that he is talking about himself getting abused after what he did to all of those defenseless dogs he killed. He was a coward then, and he is a coward now.

The play where he hurt his hand should have been a flag. Not saying his complaining is justified, but the dudes helmet touched Vicks helmet. It was very minor, but that's the rule. I think Vick doesn't get a lot of calls because of the style of play he chooses. If you play reckless, you are gonna get hit and not get those calls because you are running and at that point fair game.
