I agree that the Falcons did not look like the 14-2 (or whatever they were last year) but they didn't look any worse than the Eagles did.

up until the Vick injury the Eagles offense was moving the ball with ease, I don't think the Eagles are an all star team or anything but they were better than the Falcons
Trent Cole was dominating the Falcons offensive line
The Eagles problem is going to be that any team with a half decent TE is going to be able to do what they want against a very weak group of LB's. But for 3.5 quarters the Eagles were able to shut down Turner, and keep White and Jones in check.
After Vick went down their body language changed, Reid's play calling got too conservative, and it was clear a lot of them didn't think they could win without Vick
I think with a healthy Vick the Eagles go on to win that game 80-90% of the time
