The Falcons have lost to a few weak opponents. However, although they pulled off a couple of squeakers, they have proved to be able to hang with other top NFL teams. How can you are that the Eagles are superior to the Falcons? The Falcons have beat 2 teams with winnining records. The Eagles have only beaten three. Granted the falcons received a couple of ass whippings, the Eagles didn't play so hot against the Steelers. I think the Steelers loss was much more significant than the Falcons' three losses. You have to prove you can contend with top teams.
Neither team has looked impressive in the past few weeks. I think a match-up between these two teams would be a good football game, and I would like to see it.
As far as Vick goes, some of his stats look impressive. Some such as the interceptions and fumbles mentioned above definitely things you want to have under your belt. However, I think Vick is a pro bowler because of what he contributes to his team. The Falcons would not be in the great situation they are currently in without Michael Vick leading them.
