Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has left two of the three games this season due to injuries.  In week two Vick suffered a concussion and in week three he bruised his right hand leaving both games early.  Not surprisingly the Eagles lost both games Vick did not finish.  Going back to last season Vick has 206 QB hits when dropping back for passes.  This season the Eagles offensive line is similar to the 49ers offensive line in that neither can pass protect.  The Eagles O-line has allowed 20 QB hits, tied for sixth most in the NFL, and five sacks this season.  It is no wonder why Vick seems to get injured each week.

After the Eagles loss last week to the Giants Vick said,

“I felt I got hit late. No flag. At some point, something catastrophic is gonna happen. Not to blame the refs, but more precautions should be taken. I’m on the ground all the time in the pocket. Every time I throw the ball, I’m on the ground. I get hit in the head. I don’t know why I don’t get the 15-yard flag like everybody else does. I’m not trying to blame the refs. I just want them to take notice.”
