Bad decisions could be Vick's undoing vs. Bears

Brad Briggs wrote a short article that many Bears fans like me, should definitely enjoy reading. He wrote about the predictions and calculations of K.C. Joyner, the football scientist. I like that Briggs included game statistics for Cutler and Vick for the readers to closely compare. The bears play the Eagles this Sunday and after an impeccable game by Mike Vick last weekend many are very nervous about the possible outcome. I had never really heard about Joyner before this article. I really like the way he calculates a "bad decision" percents for quarterbacks. Briggs was sure to include that Joyner defines a bad decision as "when a quarterback makes a mistake with the ball that leads to a turnover or a near turnover." Adding that definition definitely helped me grasp the idea of "bad decisions" and was better able to compare the two quarterbacks. Briggs includes that joyner said it was only a matter of time until Vick's statistics balance out. As a Bears fan, I really hope that this upcoming game is when Vick's statistics will "balance out" and he doesn't have such a great game. Brigg ends with a great statement to sum up the article, "Joyner says Vick has had 'phenomenal luck' and you have to wonder if the opportunistic Bears defense, which leads the NFL in takeaways, can swing that luck in Sunday's meeting at Soldier Field." Great article, Go Bears! Let's hope Cutler and the bears defense can pull this win off.
