I liked them for Jamal Anderson, who only shined for a few years. I was excited both as a Bears fan and a sorta Falcons fan when they upset the Vikings in 98 to go to the Super Bowl. That rocked. I know Vick is an "exciting" playmaker and all that, but they have obviously done nothing to build around him and relied on him too much to do stuff. He's not good enough for the team to be "Michael Vick and the Falcons", but would have been better in "The Falcons with Michael Vick", if that makes sense.
BTW, being 8-8 every season doesn't constitute a winning way, and if it does to you, well... I'm sorry for you.
