If Vick had been wearing his mouthpiece he wouldn't have nearly bitten off his tongue.
No, not good.
Then again, redzone shitty defense, turnovers, giving your own quarterback a concussion all add up to an expected result.
To be fair, a lot of QBs don't wear mouthpieces so they can call the plays/ snap more clearly.If Vick had been wearing his mouthpiece he wouldn't have nearly bitten off his tongue.

Ayup. Agreed on all counts. And I'm sorry Iggles, but we all knew crybaby Vince Young and Mike Kafka as your backups would bite you in the ass... but so soon?

Wow. The announcers were just TRASHING KC by the end of their debacle this week against the Lions...

Still raspy-voiced from a kick to the throat and beatdown by the New Orleans Saints defense, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler rapped twice on a lectern when pondering whether he could make it through the rest of this season with this type of punishment.
"I don't know," Cutler said. "I don't know."
Cutler absorbed six sacks, in addition to 16 hits against the Saints in the club's 30-13 loss on Sunday, resulting in extreme soreness in the quarterback's throat, "hips, we can go down the list," he said, jokingly.
But in all seriousness, the crushing blows to Cutler could continue Sunday when the Bears face the Green Bay Packers, given the blueprint provided to other teams by the team's shaky offensive line, not to mention the fact that sacks in many ways are merely the cost for doing business in the scheme of offensive coordinator Mike Martz.
...
Martz's history indicates it's actually more than that.
From 1999 to 2010 (Martz didn't coach in 2009), Martz's offense ranked in the NFL's top 10 in sacks allowed in nine of the coach's 11 seasons, and in the top three in each of his last four. Martz's offenses with the Rams, Lions, 49ers and Bears gave up 40 sacks or more in 10 consecutive years after allowing 33 in 1999.
Bears quarterbacks from 2006 to 2009 threw an average of 543.5 passes, while suffering an average of 33 sacks.
Yet in Martz's first year with the Bears (2010), the team's passing attempts dipped dramatically (466 attempts), while the sack numbers skyrocketed (56). Combine that with the current musical-chairs situation along the offensive line due to injuries and subpar production from the receiving corps and it comes as no surprise that once again, sacks have become synonymous with this team's offense.
"Obviously, if you throw the ball that much you are going to lose him," Martz said of Cutler. "We can't do that. We won't. We want to be balanced. Anytime he throws the ball I get nervous for him. When you get close to somebody like this, you worry about him like your own kids. He is one of the most tough, physically tough, mentally tough people I've ever been around. He's incredibly tough. From that part of it, I don't worry about it. He fights through that stuff pretty good."
