how are the eagles favored in this game
$$$$
I guess you missed Kevin Kolbs performance on Sunday.

Atlanta is a hard nosed team that does everything well and nothing great.
Philadelphia is a spastic mess of inconsistency that is capable of rattling off quick scores and pressuring opposing offenses OR choking on collective cock and missing opportunities and letting awful teams stay in games.
The line could literally be any number and it would make perfect sense to me because no one has any idea what the Eagles are going to look like from one minute to the next.

Damn. No way for the Falcons to cover but still lose. But I do like money and ATL to win outright is basically a lead piper.
matt ryan is gonna go wild in this game
Like he did against Cleveland?
They struggled against the Browns.
Which means they need some good ol' McDermott coached defense to cure their offensive ills.
If they have the corners playing ten yards off the los and not even touching the receivers until after they catch the ball it's going to be a long day... again.
Roddy White is going to make this defense his bitch.
Eagles in a dramatic ending that creates a QB controversy in Philly, not so much because of Kolb's awesome performance but because of Kolb's awesome performance, Vick sends a text of his junk to Kolb telling him to go over his hotel room in philly and chill. And Kolb accepts. Where's the controversy you ask? It was a pic of Kafka's junk that Vick sends to Kolb. But where's the controversy, you think to yourself? Vick's junk looks like Kafka's junk. Yeah, but where's the controversy you ask? Kafka's junk is black.
pretty sure no one loves cock more than Chuggie
Which reminds me, Chuggie. Where does your nickname come from anyway?
Hbionic? God.
Chuggie? That guy mikey428 or something. He used to post here before he passed. If I remember correctly fell off a roof and broke his neck.
the line is up to 3
Albert/Moose/Goose will be calling the game
Don't have a good feeling for this game.
If the line is really Eagles -3, people would be nuts not to bet big on the visitors.
People are nuts to bet on the NFL period this season.

Damn. I think mikey was before my time here but I'll have to remember not to give you any other nicknames
I keep going back and forth with this game: On the one hand I think the Eagles and Falcons are similar talent-wise, but I don't think the Falcons are a 5-1 team. What I see now is the Eagles outplaying them but making stupid mistakes to keep them in the game.
Um mikey418? He didn't die, what are you talking about?

Homer.
are the eagles playing teh football this weekend?
Hopefully.
They'll be involved in a game, at least.
I don't know. They could win this one. Seems like one of those games they could pull out to reinvigorate that hollow false-hope feeling for the masses.
The Falcons have the best D the Eagles have seen yet, tenth in the NFL. They get at the qb, and with Dunlap starting it could be a very, very long day for Kolb. You know damn well they'll be attacking from that side.
were the maps posted yet?

yeah i think the lil guy is confusing the two "footballs"
cant we play pretend?
So, Kolbsy will be starting this game for sure. But Vick may be the 2nd QB. Sounds like he'll be back starting next week (especially if KK has himself a shtein day).

QuoteFlowery Branch, GA (Sports Network) - Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon are listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Weatherspoon missed every practice during the week after suffering a sprained knee this past Sunday against Cleveland.
Abraham (back) was limited all week, but has not missed a game this season.
It's only fair for them to be without Abraham, since his backup would school King Dunlap anyway.
umm, dunlap played good on sunday, not sure why you don't know that. dave spadaro said so. why would he lie? he works for the team, he's closer than anyone.
Even Spadaro didn't say he played well, but it was nearly as preposterous to say that he didn't play "poorly."
Inactives:
Vick - 3rd QB
Harrison
Harbor
Clayton
Cooper
Lindley
Peters
Bunkley
No chance in this game unless Kolb grows a pair. Turner all day on this zesty D and Stewie running after Gonzo. I'm not even watching.
You're not gonna watch?
Errands?
Nah I got a benefit thing to be at for a friend.
friend with benefits >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> benefit with friends
Who's ready for the Teo breakout party today?!
Best opening kickoff all season.
Damn, it looks like the Eagles actually came to play this week.
No, false alarm. Defense has already packed it in.
Finally a kicker missed a long one against the Eagles.
Think that one cheerleader was a bit young! ;)
Hey Howard, get in the farging cage and quit watching football.
Defense is a run stopping machine
What the hell is going on here?
Howard you better get across the street and get your mojo back.
Choke, nice to see that you figured out Lincucum a day later.
Cut Celek.
Pimp is dead
Can Vick play WR?
Nice return. ST did a nice job opening up the sideline.
What no Eldra Buckley wildcat on 3rd and inches?
Good throw, great catch
Wow. Couldn't ask for any more at this point. Kolb has looked poised and dead on, and the defense is swarming. Great start.
dont have a working stream, just following it on gamecast but is djax ok? heard he took a brutal hit.
Eagles look pretty farging good today. Kolb is playing well and so is the defense. First shutout in 14 years coming today?

Unfortunate pick, but nice tackle by Kolb
Gotta give the oline props, they're giving Kolbsy a ton of time today.
Dudes are running wide open, line's blocking good, Kolb's been on point
and as I type that the Eagles lose a tip drill
Hopefully its just a concussion.

Absolutely offensive PI! Bullshtein
How was Roddy White so wide open?
The Falcons get a lot of credit for not giving up, but they're not really as good as I thought they were.
They're one td away from cardiac arrest. Holding them to a fg was good.
They still have a chance to make this a game, but they've had a few chances now. They don't seem to take advantage of them often.

Wide farging open down the sidelines holy shtein
Kolb sucks, bring back McNabb.
I am finally starting to see the Bobby Hoying resemblance.
That's a shtein call. Coleman hit him while he was still in bounds, and pulled off on the push
Did Stewie just make a play there? He did!
Take all the singleback plays from the playbook, pile them up nice, douse them with gasoline, and burn that shtein. The passing works just fine out of any formation, but the runs have not worked once from that one.
That was a nice laser to Celek. Who said Kolb has a weak arm?
What a fag.
Kolb looks pretty decent when he doesn't have someone in his face every play.
A lot more confidence in his decision making it seems. Doesn't have the happy feet, isn't playing scared

For awhile there I thought we lost Celek to his new series on CBS. My wife has to keep reminding me they're two different people.
People have been knocking Kolb for his checkdowns, but the one thing I've said that's really showing today is that when Kolb (or any qb for that matter) gets first team snaps in practice it's going to show on the field. He's had 2 weeks of reps now and is undeniably better than when he came off the bench vs Washington.
Also, I propose we wear those pink shirts to spell out GO EAGLES next week in Nashville.
Shaddy sure pulls up a lot. Maybe there's a stop drop and roll clause in his contract.
I would have preferred a punt there.
IGY, suit up. You're going to be needed on the d-line next week.

Not to take away from him as he's looked great....but the oline is blocking well for him, and the Falcons have blown a lot of coverage. Lots of guys running wide open today.
We've been looking for people to compare him to, and it's ranged from Rodgers to Hoying...but I think the more we see, the more Tony Romo becomes the guy he looks like most. When he's confident and has time he can carve you up....but get in his face and rattle him and don't give him time and he crumbles.
Te'o Time!
Is there any possible way they can squeeze in another pass this game to get Kolb to 300?
McCoy almost broke that guys ankles. Using up the clock now. :yay
Good thing this isn't a close game, or people would be calling for Akers' head.

Too early to compare him to anyone really. But he's not Tony Romo until he has an atrocious playoff record. He's got 5 starts under his belt. But when you look at those 5 starts, 4 of them have been very good. So given the limited body of work we have to judge him on, it's hard to argue that the offense isn't pretty good when he prepares all week with the first team.
Does Akers have a broken ankle?
WTF.

Don't worry, Andy Reid is his head coach, he'll have that terrible playoff record in no time
So they spotted the short kick, and then let it bounce out of their hands. Special teams are awesome.

I was a little late getting into the game because I had to wait on my buddy, so I watched the kickoff from the tunnel then made my way to my seat. As I'm walking down the isle this old guy says to me "for now come down the isle from the other way", I said "farg you" and put my middle finger in his face.

Dunta robinson fined 50k for his hit on desean jackson
otherwise known as closing the barn door after the horse has escaped
Lmao :-D
There will be a lot of talk about that fine, most people I heard from yesterday both at work and on the radio didn't think the hit warranted a fine. I said he would be fined as soon as I saw it. IMO, Kolb and Reid are as much at fault as anyone for putting Pimp in the position, going over the middle in a zone like it's man coverage, then floating the pass. You're gonna' get killed doing that. But still, the rules state that you can't lead with the crown of your helmet. If he'd have went in with his eyes up and stuck his face in Pimps chest, like they teach you from day one, he might not have been fined. The days of guys that tackle, I mean actually tackle and wrap guys up, are long gone. Guys are launching themselves like missiles, and the league wants it to stop.
Putting Pimp in that position?
Let's make sure to put all receivers on a go route when the d is in cover 2? Jackson is extremely effective on crossing routes in case you missed the past couple years.
Actually all receivers on a go route against a cover 2 is a legitimately awesome idea. Bad example.
Let's try and read between the lines here and put Madden down for a sec.
You're most effective routes against the cover 2 are going to be your passes over the top the LB's in between the hashes in the middle of the field or over top the DB's on Munsons 16 yd sideline routes.
he put him in that position because he waited forever to throw the ball then instead of taking the sack tried to make a pass with two men all over him which let the d know it was not going farther than six yards....
the route was fine the throw falls under the category of attempted murder

That's a fairly hefty fine. Did Desean get a fine for giving Robinson a concussion?
I disagree about the route, You don't think the safetys not waiting for what happened, a guy going over the middle?? If you want to sit down in the zone, then fine, but you don't send guys over the middle in a crossing pattern against zone coverage. I can still admit, and did, that the pass sucked donkey ass, but don't send the little man on a crossing route. And yeah, overload one side with your TE and two wideouts, one goes long and the other on a slant, the TE runs a hook or a crossing pattern, then you don't have a safety running ahead full steam ready to kill someone. Christ, it's football 101.
.......and I don't play no fargin' video games.
Are you serious? Dont send him across the middle? That's how you "run people open". Crossing routes are a vital part of the offense.
It's the qb's responsibility to not get his people murdered.
But sometimes shtein happens and people get blown up.

When it's man coverage, yes. When it's zone coverage, you don't run them open, you run them into the D.
crossing patterns work wonderfully against a zone you just cant wait for the wr to cross the entire field...you gotta throw it as soon as he hits the lose area
cobb waited forever to throw it to pimp
I agree with that, the pass was the worst thing about the play, other than the call itself. But work wonderfully?? No, even if he'd have caught it on the run you still don't run crossing patterns against a zone D especially with Pimp, 'cause a linebacker or safety is gonna' light him up. If you have a big possesion receiver like Boldin or Ward, maybe, but even those guys are gonna' take the lick hard.
It's also up to DeSean to stop and settle down in a soft spot of the zone...

If you want to sit down in the zone, then fine,
Its Jackson's job to stop the route and sit in the zone. He should not have kept running across, which is why you get lit up in a zone when you do that shtein.
