Well, for that 2nd INT, I didnt think it was a
horrible call. I mean yes, its not a typical INT, but it was a bad decision, and bad decisions lead to turnovers in some cases. You could also argue that Chicago had dropped some INTs (i saw atleast 2 or 3), so that its kind of the law of averages evening out the INT count for Vick. And even when the INTs are dropped, each time it happens, it is a time that he is putting his team at risk for a turnover, even if it doesn't end up being that.
Another thing, I don't know if it was as much as Atlanta's o-line collapsing (they definitely didnt play good, though), or as much as Chicago bringing on the heat because they are not intimidated by Vick's passing presence. When Tom Brady or Peyton Manning are back taking the snaps, you better believe that the defense (no matter who it is) will be taking a few steps back and watching alot for the pass. But they know that Vick can be controlled in the passing game, so they just bring on the heat and make it look like the O-line is being destroyed. That is all just part of an excellent defensive gameplan, and knowing your opponent.
