Game will be Saturday at 430 on NBC.
Republican zealot Al Michaels and the great Cris Collinsworth on the call.
First Eagles playoff game since 2013 (Saints).
First home Eagles playoff game since 2013 (Saints).
First Eagles divisional playoff game since 2008 (Giants).
First home Eagles divisional playoff game since 2004 (Vikings).
1. Who do you want (Panthers, give me bad Cam).
2. Does it matter? (It doesn't).
Realistically possible for the Eagles to beat any of the three, but definitely unlikely.
All three are a cut below the Rams and Vikings though. The Saints are probably the best of the three and still lost to the horrible Bucs today in a game that was important to the Saints.
I guess I would take the Panthers because they have the most tendency to play up or down to their competition. Could end up with a suckfest like the Cowboys game today.

nick foles looked like a cfl qb the last 2 weeks but these teams are "beatable"
what planet of denial do you live on and can i go
If I had to chose I'd take my chances against the Panthers followed by Atlanta. I'm interested to see what the line is once their opponent is settled. Root for really bad weather.
It's great to just shtein on the Eagles chances. If they lose you get to be right and if they win, you get to say they don't deserve it. FUN
I'm not hopeful, but for farg sake. Eagles could easily be headed to the Conference championship game if the crowd is full of Jays rather than IGY's, the defense balls, and the O doesn't screw the pooch. Worse teams have made it further, even won rings.
Crybabies.
i wish i didnt care if the eagles won or not
im actually jealous of you
all you care about is shteinting on them, win or lose. win, it was lucky. lose, it was deserved. root for them to do well, homer. beat 'em up, real fan.
get outta heer.
you want them to win but could care less if they lose....im not even joking....i wish i could feel that way

If the Eagles win with Nick farging Foles at QB and Vaitaii at LT they deserve the win more than any team in nfl history. They'd of made it to the conference finals without the likely league mvp at the most important position in the NFL and a hall of fame LT which is the second most important position on offense. Insurmountable odds to overcome.

dont forget jordan hicks....they lost their second best defensive player and two best offensive players this year
Not to understate Hick's injury because it's crucial and he's a borderline pro bowler but the rest of the d is good enough to cover up for his injury.
Just saw Joe Walker was put on IR. Thought Ellerbee played decent in a rotation.
hicks is really good but what makes his loss big is their complete lack of depth at the position...thank goodness for malcolm jenkins versatility

I 'think' the offense will get their shtein together. This is Foles 4th game, 2 he played the entire game, they have 2 weeks of practice to straighten some kinks out and come up with a game plan. He didn't play well yesterday but the rest of the offense didn't help, he needs to avoid the god awful gimme picks. I understand he's only a backup but he's played a lot of games in the NFL and he's making bad throws you'd expect from a rookie.
If Doug does what I think he's going to do, which is ground it out with Ajayi and relegate Foles to game manager I can see them putting up
some points. Doug needs to modify his playcalling on 1st and 2nd downs, they went from one of the best 3rd down teams in the league to worst once Wentz went down. Useless Blount runs into the center and square outs to whoever are easy to stop and predictable. Ertz over the middle, Agholor slants, Jeffery along the sideline, pass plays out of the backfield to Clement...these are proven passing plays that have worked. I feel like he's overcomplicating the offense like he still has Wentz as a QB to bail out his bad play call. Regardless of who they play because of hfa, the weather, and the defense, I think they can keep it close...something like losing 21-17.
Unless the Saints beat Carolina by like 21, the eagles will open between +2 to +5. I'd be willing to bet $ the spread will be less than +7
i dont see any way they are home dogs by a touchdown or more no matter who they play....just seems ludicrous to me
It'll be higher if it's New Orleans ... probably 4-5.5. Carolina or ATL I think would be close to pick.
i acrually think they will be a slight favorite against anyone
Vegas SuperBook:
vs. Saints: Eagles +4.5
vs. Panthers: Eagles +3.5
vs. Falcons: Pick
Obviously it'll change based on how those teams look next week or injuries.

You're right, I could care less if they lose. It will make me mildly grumpy for a week or so, instead of not affecting me at all. I won't be traumatized though, you're right about that. If you will be, I have pity for you, and hope you get help. Living and dying by a billionaire's entertainment product is SAD.
One thing that has concerned me about the Eagles all season, but I never felt like bringing up because they were rolling, were looking dominant, and I really didn't want to get into a big thing over such an innocuous topic, that I never really brought it up. And plus, there wasn't really any concrete indicators that could prove or disprove this either way, unless the Eagles lost Wentz due to injury, and unfortunately that happened.
That worry is I've always thought the skill position talent on this team was overrated. They have no gamebreakers, no electric playmakers. Their fastest WR is either a rookie who has yet to establish himself in Mack Hollins, or Torrey Smith who sucks and drops a million balls. Carson Wentz is by far this team's biggest playmaker, and the dude accounts for like 80 or more % of the Eagles offense - including the effect he has on RPOs. On one hand, that can be a positive. It tells you that you have an elite franchise QB. On the other hand it also tells you that if you get an injury, you're farged.
It's why the Packers have only won one Superbowl with Aaron Rodgers. The guy is the most talented QB I've ever seen, but the team is built so much around him, he's gotten hurt a bunch of times and their seasons went down the toilet. For all I know, the Eagles will come out in a couple weeks and drop 40 on their opponent, but going forward the Eagles have to be careful to not do what the Packers did and build a team so heavily around your QB that if he gets hurt, the offense goes from #1 in the league to barely being able to score a TD. They need some gamebreakers that can take a wobbly 5 yard Foles dump off pass into a 40 yard play. Right now they have no one who can take it to the house on any given play, except maybe Ajayi. Agholor has some YAC ability, but he's not a gamebreaker.
Easier said than done, but Wentz has proven to be kinda injury prone his first couple years. Gotta find a way to get some more weapons for this offense in the off-season so if he goes down again in future years, the backup QB doesn't inherit an offense that was so reliant on Carson Wentz to elevate everyone else.
Rip away if you think I'm being overly negative, I can handle it :P
I'm probably missing something here, maybe because I didn't see a good chunk of the Giants game and missed a few plays here and there that Foles was otherwise in. But My biggest concern is that Foles seems to have no arm strength. Not enough for a long 50 yard pass or a put a lot of zip on a 20 yard out. He used to have a decent arm. Does anyone else remember him really firing any passes since he has taken over? Without being able to zip it more than 25 yards other defenses know they are one and a half dimensional and tee off.
I haven't seen any of the games to be certain of this, but I'm pretty sure Foles hasn't thrown a good pass since he was an Eagle the first time
Foles doesn't have a great arm. He never had a great arm, early on he benefited from DeSean Jackson getting wide open and the best offensive line in football at the time. Foles didn't really need arm strength. Now, since the receivers fail to get consistent separation, it's becoming far more apparent. His best throw this season was in the Rams game to Agholor on that 3rd down play. He threw it down and away, the only spot where the defender couldn't get it.
One thing I've noticed about Foles is because of his lack of arm strength, his worst passes are out out routes by far, and his best passes are crosses and drags. Anything short or intermediate that he can just toss up there where the WR has a chance to get YAC.
The only time he was able to connect on out routes was on that final drive vs the Raiders where their corners were playing far off to prevent a big play and they kept hitting on them to inch up the field 5 yards at a time to get into FG range for Elliott.
Also, I don't know if he has small hands, but he really has seemed to struggle gripping the ball in cold weather. He was comfortable against the Giants, and can't seem to get anything on his throws the last couple games as the temps fell into the teens, and even struggled to hold onto shotgun snaps. Not sure if it's hand size or maybe the dude just has stone hands.
His arm was always suspect. Even during his miracle season he looked like a little kid whenever he threw a deep ball, putting his entire body into it. Always seemed to be a lot of full body effort and probably grunting going into his throws. Maybe even a shart here and there, too.
the saints lost to the bucs so the eagles are winning the super bowl
So is Foles not much worse than when he was in Philly before? I don't remember his arm strength being a particular issue although I do remember an inordinate number of lucky longer plays to Riley Cooper, where a DB fell down or a blown coverage or something and Cooper managed to pull in a long, even if inaccurate, pass. If he hasn't dropped off much it's good news because he had an MVP caliber season and somehow made due.

I honestly don't think we have enough data to make that assessment. I mean, most players at 29 are not better than they were at 25, and remember he had elbow issues back in the summer. I don't see why he'd have any type of significant decline in any of his skills though. If you average out his entire career, he's a very mediocre QB and that's probably what he is now. Just like all mediocre QBs, he's completely dependent on the talent around him to succeed. If the talent is elite he can look like a competent starter. If it isn't, he'll look pretty terrible. The players around him will determine how good he looks these playoffs. If the line doesn't block for him and receivers don't get open he'll look like a total disaster. If they up their game, he might look ok.
Foles is all around bad. He has no rhythm, he can't scramble worth a damn, he back pedals too much when facing a rush, he doesn't have a quick release and he's not savvy enough to read a defense so he's constantly under pressure - and he blows under pressure. He's an all around bad fit for this offense. I wish they would have held onto Chase Daniel, his contract was horrible and he's a midget but at least he could scramble a bit, can read a defense, and is good on short/medium routes. I base this off scouting reports. Foles only chance to be effective is to learn how to pick a D apart and put the ball where his receiver can make a play. He absolutely excelled at that his one good season. He needs to work with Kelce on shotgun snaps, bobbling the ball every other play ain't gonna get it done.

Yes he is.
The Giants have one of the worst defenses in the league and probably the worst pass D and were playing for nothing. The Raiders and Cowboys have middle of the road defenses and were also playing for nothing. He couldn't put a semi competent drive together. I can't imagine what a decent D in the playoffs in bad weather will do to him.
It's Daniel not Daniels, and I'd take my chances with him over Foles. He has mobility, a somewhat quick release and can read defenses...essentially a perfect game manager. Foles lack of mobility, inability to read a defense, and ridiculously long release is a bad combination for this offense. If he had Peters blocking his blind side and Kelce got his head out of his ass he could be an effective pocket QB with an established running game allowing him to use play action to stretch the field. Last week he made some comment about getting the ball to Jeffery even if he's not open because Jeffery can go up for the ball, so he lobs a pass 10 yards behind Jeffery that got picked off. His rookie season his placement on those passes was very good, he no longer has that touch.
the giants and raiders have a 200 yard difference in passing yards against but one is bad and one is middle of the road. yea. they both suck. like chase danielS. the extra s is for suck.
foles has proven to be a competent backup. its not a high bar to cross and even the best of backups look awful at times. the point of a backup is to hold the fort down for a few games. foles went 1-1. thats fine. theres no team that can win 3 playoff games with nick foles. not even the patriots. whining for chase farging daniel like he could beat the saints, vikings and patriots is silly.

You seem to think Foles is a competent backup, I think he blows.
foles is simply brutal....i would legit rather see nate the great...never understood how you could be a 6'6 250 lb qb and have a pathetic arm
his biggest short coming tho is his attitude and body language...when hes playing much of the time it looks like he would rather be anywhere else in the world than on a football field....seems like he hates the sport of football

He looks really uncomfortable in the cold. Nobody likes playing in 10 degree weather, but most athletes suck it up. He looks like he'd rather be sitting on a heated bench in a triple fat goose, a wool hat and gloves.
Good news for him then, he only had to do it one more time.

this is the biggest thing for me. his stats yell mediocre qb, which is what youre going to get as a backup, but he clearly wishes he could go back to wearing a parka and going over plays with wentz on the ipad.
again. the dude won his two starts. thats all you can ask a backup qb to do. if you need to go to your backup you hope its for a few games. not the playoffs.
He didn't win the Raiders game, the D bailed him out. The team won despite him.

he was beyond atrocious in that game. but what he did in the rams and giants games, theres a ton of 2nd and 3rd stringers that cant do that. im not trying to defend nick foles in any other way than saying hes a halfway decent backup that is now way way way out of his element.

Quote"If you're in desperation mode, who knows?"Foles will start, but Nate Sudfeld should stay warm.
Sudfeld threw a 15 yard out to Marcus Johnson on Sunday that had more zip on it than any pass Foles has thrown as an Eagle.
He's nowhere near being ready to play an NFL game much less a playoff game, though.
We're stuck with Foles. The end.

That was a nice pass, plus Sudfield is somewhat mobile. I never realized he was the same height as Foles. I'll stand by my prediction: Foles flops the first half, Sudfield plays the second. They still lose but whatever I'd rather take my chances with the unknown.
negative 200% sudfeld sees the field.
Eagles
WHY YOU SHOULD ROOT FOR THEM: They just had their best season in over a decade ruined by an injury to their franchise quarterback. Have a heart.
WHY THEY STILL SUCK: Or don't, because Philly fans suck huge balls. God lives to strike down Philly fans just when they are at their cockiest, and I can't blame Him. Even when Philly teams lose, their fans still try to circumvent such pesky facts by inventing their own unofficial honors. That time Allen Iverson stepped over Ty Lue? Philly fans think that's an actual championship. It gets irritating. Also, the sooner Nick Foles is out of these playoffs, the better. The playoffs officially start only when all the bad QBs have been weeded out.

Wait'll Foles goes 3-11 for 49 yards and he can't escape the pressure coming from the left side of the O line. He's getting boo'd leaving the field at the half. If Doug sticks with him and he throws under 50% and 100 something yards he's going to hear shtein. Fans and press will eat him alive, it's a repeat of what we've seen the past few weeks. At least Sudfeld can scramble and complete short passes.
I know I am most likely troll feeding here, but .... that could all happen, and there would still be zero chance sudfeld sees action. you're getting gitty over 3qtrs of play in a game that didn't mean shtein to either team.
did sudfeld lead the eagles to a victory over dallas, all it would've took is one td and an extra point. they didn't even score a point. he would get destroyed in a playoff game.
the only way sudfeld sees action is if foles is taken out by a sniper. I mean im sure Bradley cooper will be there I guess there's hope.

Sudfield was playing with back ups against Dallas's first team D and he looked better than Foles who was playing with the starters. He's also an unknown, a team would have no idea how to game plan against him. You might laugh, but look at Foles first year as a starter vs. his second.
theres not even a question nate the great would lose the game....but i cant stomach seeing nick foles throw another pass for the eagles ever
the reason they should start sudfeld is he can shtein bed and you wont care because you know foles wasnt doing any better

They established the run against the Raiders in the first half, then the Raiders loaded the box and Foles couldn't do squat. He's bad. Really, really bad. What's worse is he's immobile. At least a running qb would keep the d a little more honest.
Here's how it's gonna go down: Foles is gonna suck. At some point he's gonna throw one of his god awful picks, then Doug's gonna make the switch.

Get a grip on yourselves for Christ sakes. Foles isn't great nor is he even consistently good but he's a better option than the people above
Not even close
Have you guys actually watched the past two games? He's not good. He did well against the Giants, the team with the worst d in the league. As soon as the Raiders loaded the box to stop the run he couldn't hit open receivers. Teams used the Giants game footage to see his many flaws. Most of his throws weren't even close and his timing on receivers coming out of their breaks was way off. The picks he's thrown the last two games were laughably bad. He had a gimme pick 6 dropped by the Raiders and Torrrey freaking Smith of all people had to knock a ball down that wasn't even close so it wouldn't get intercepted by Dallas.
He's bad. It's going to be an ugly game.
The entire offense was out of sync and the play calling was atrocious. If the passing game isn't clicking it's up to the offense to pick up the QB by running the ball down the defense's throat. They have the ability to do that but Pederson just can't bring himself to resist the urge to chuck it.
Foles isn't Wentz. We know this. Why doesn't Doug adjust to that reality? Hopefully he will and Foles channels his inner Alex Smith.
PS: If the defense doesn't dominate they have no chance. That's the reality.

And have you watched these other QBs whom you'd supposedly rather have?! If any of those guys I mentioned were starting it would be much worse
Yes
I'm not going down the list and list their strengths but each QB other than Peterman are better suited to run an offense. Foles is a bad combo of lack of mobility with a long release. He doesn't have a strong arm, good ball placement and is average at reading a defense. It's a bad fit for a right handed quarterback with his blind side exposed.

thats every backup in the league. imagine if the saints had chase danielles instead of brees. or the panthers were using anderson instead of scam.
the fact that foles played well enough in the giants game and farted together a drive against the raiders to win that game is enough to be a quality nfl backup. the bar is insanely low.
2 things:
first, people are wildly overstating how good foles was in the giants game. go back and watch that game. his numbers were good but he really didn't play that well - he was fine. of course, that is a huge improvement over the last 5 quarters, but he wasn't nearly as good as his stats look.
second, all of the above being said, i'm still obviously going to go roll the dice with him over the mannion and peterman's of the world.

i dont know if they do...they dont have a road grader type offensive line...they arent going to man up with the guy across the line and run down hill...they are a team whose running game feeds off its passing game...play action....delays....and especially their shotgun read option which was unbelievable with wentz....they cant run that with foles because hes not a threat to throw
like ive been saying...just play wentz with a torn acl
How is it even possible God hasn't fixed Wentz yet?
Anyone else feel like the Eagles aren't in the playoffs?

Julio is overrated but Sanu is underrated. The problem is their size against smaller Cbs and I'm not just talking about their height.
Um I never said Julio was overrated
Check yo self
that was the worst instance of quoting in board history including the five years I copied and pasted other people's posts before I learned how the quote button worked
Lolol
I miss the old igy copy and paste version
if julio played for the cowboys hed be overrated but since he plays for the falcons hes properly rated

i dont know what FPI is but espn's projects the birds to win by 7
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+espn+fpi
Errands gonna farg me... I have to travel (by car) during at least the beginning of the game. Driving to Peekskill. Gonna try to get a radio broadcast and make the kids shut the farg up.
not to worry, according to some, the game is already decided.
everyone practiced except for ellerbee, who i guess at this point is the starting mike?
FPI is the same deal as the 538 Elo score. Those models know what the Eagles have done so far (who they played, how badly they won or lost) and are usually pretty accurate at ranking teams. But there's no input to the model to say that the main guy who was responsible for how the Eagles played all year isn't gonna play this game, so it's going to be wildly inaccurate for this kind of scenario.
I look at the Eagles roster and I still see a really good team. The negatives are Foles (bad but not Nathan Peterman level bad), the dumbass head coach who I am still OUT on, and the overall deflated feeling everyone has over the Wentz injury. Those are three huge negatives but I still wouldn't be shocked if the talented and rested roster pulled out a win at home against a flawed Falcons team. Not likely, but far from impossible.
the question to me isnt if the eagles will win but instead will they score any offensive touchdowns not greatly aided by a turnover
another question is what do you think has a higher chance of happening...the eagles scoring two offensive touchdowns or none
The real question is how many of us are ready to slit our wrists after reading this depressing thread. Should I even bother watching the Eagles until Wentz gets back?
Jesus christ all of you. It's almost as if Nick Foles was going to be the starting QB of the home divisional playoff game or something.
Oh...wait...

I think they'll get a couple turnovers, maybe score an offensive TD off one if it's deep enough in the Falcons territory. I think Elliot will be really busy.
Playoff tickets are going for $500. I wish I had a pair I'd sell them then bet the $1000 on the Falcons.
I will be there. I'm setting my expectations incredibly low - be a better experience than Week 17 which was, all factors considered, the worst pro sports event I've ever attended. farging miserable.
the dallas game was on my girls actual birthday so i agreed to not go no matter whether it counted or not...i sold my tickets for 250 each back around week 6 or 7....feel bad for you or anyone else who was there but im so glad it ended up how it did

except they purposely played their offensive starters against a team that didnt want to be there....they said they did this so foles could get some snaps with the starters and particularly alshon.....really it was so he could try and get some confidence after the raider debacle...instead he looked even worse
they offense should have scored at will against dallas
in the win loss column it meant as much as preseason but not in how foles looked

Yeah I was thinking about selling if prices were crazy and throw it towards the championship game (bc they will be in it) but prices are mad cheap so figured I'd rather just go. They are still going for minimum 175 for uppers though.

im sure someone somewhere paid 500 for a top notch seat...and not that you are the one saying it but its totally misleading for anyone to say or report that "tickets are going for 500"
the true test of how hott a game is is how much are the worst seats going for and these arent going for a ton

i could probably sell the extra for 150 but at that point my profit would be like 30 bucks and my man wanted to go. i was hoping to sell it for 2 bills and essentially go for free but nick foles
foles is not helping for sure.....but neither are the falcons....if this was the giants or dallas or any team with a real fanbase that would push tickets a lot higher and a rivalry always gets the home fans more hyped and more willing to go
right now its basically depressed eagle fans determining the market - see SD
if wentz was there im sure it would go for a lot more...a real team would make it even higher. but consider
get in prices right now

dont ever go by websites for a real price...most of the listed prices are overpriced like crazy and almost all the "recently sold" prices are fake
teams farg with those sites all the time and so do scalpers...one thing scalpers or ticket agencies do is sell fake tickets to themselves to make it look like tickets are selling higher than they really are...teams pay stubhub to do this as well
we sold two tix for $225ea last week. $500 per, if upper seats, is insanely high.

they are real prices as far as the tickets being real but they are not real market value....as in holy shtein theres an upper end zone ticket for 300....this game is crazy!
they are tricking people as to how much you should really pay...the real prices are down at the stadium and the ones that are up day of game...that being said you can get real market value online in advance you just need to constantly check the listings...i see all the time tickets pop up for events that are 30 bucks cheaper than the next equivalent cheapest ticket...of course they get scooped up real quick but you can nab them if you are vigilant
of all the things that kill me tho are the fake recently sold listings...for example it will say on october 20 a pair of tickets sold for 398 dollars even tho i know for a fact equal tickets were available all the week of october 20 for half that cause i was looking every day

temps should now be in the 30's by game time and dropping thruout fast with strong winds
If the strong winds are strong enough, and a tailwind, Foles might be able to throw the ball 15 yards downfield.
That's going to make it real hard for him to throw seven touchdowns, but I think he can do it.
time - temp and wind chill
800 - 41 and 34
1000 - 30 and 24
noon - 31 and 21

I think they win an ugly game tomorrow - like 16-13.
Probably just being a homer, but EVERYONE is picking Atlanta. Everyone. The storylines keep saying, what do the eagles do to even have a chance, all the while it's the smallest spread this weekend.
Public is all over Atlanta. Spread isn't moving though. Makes me think the real $ in Vegas is on philly.
Like I said, probably overthinking it and/or grasping at straws but I'll predict a narrow W.
Fans won't be that disappointed if the Eagles lose this weekend. That wouldn't happen until at least the conference Championship Game. Therefore they are a lock to win against Atlanta.
Gameday fargers!
Eagles - 23
Falcons - 16
Agholor and Bradham are the standouts
Falcons 21
Birds 17
I'm slightly optimistic Foles will play better but will struggle in the red zone. It was windy as hell this morning.
Eagles 27
FaLLLLLcons 16
Matty Ice channels his inner Philly choke artist and sends us to the NFCCG.
I predict that if they win today, they'll have won their super bowl, the steamwad will have been blown, and the Conference game is a stone cold lock as a LOSS

My fear is they win today, we get our hopes up, and then they come crushing down in the NFCC. I mean, they win today and they're two farging wins from being SB champs. That opportunity doesn't come along often unless you're the Patriots.
If the defense doesn't run one back, the only points are probably coming from Elliott and good field position. This has week 17 after going 7-8 kind of feel to it.

I'm listening to WIP via radio.com app, or something like that, rolling thru Elkton. Go Eagles.
Never been this calm before a playoff game. Feels like they are already out of the playoffs. 100% house money.

Torrey Smith? Ok
lol even I thought they would go deep on play 1. Falcons are dumb as shtein.
Holy farg that was the worst pass in the history of football at any level
Ok so they suck
of course he loses a fumble because that pass should have been picked
<Insert ballistic missle joke here>
Not a block from behind there?
I may just leave the room when Birds are on offense. It's going to be a brutal evening for Napoleon
Are they showing that VW meteor ad in Hawaii today Don?
Yep! To soon
Foles needs to find a new line of work
Offense doesn't have any positive yards yet, except on a fumble play. Just flags.
Just keep getting those PI calls, that's all they got.
PRobably should have just been a hold, he held Hollins and then Hollins pushed off
Wtf! Refs on our side for once
Really?
shtein, lost 7 yards on that fumble
FG range so of course Foles eats the sack.
farg, nice sack Lane
Eagles path to victory is gonna be flags and Falcon injuries.
What a great farging start
I may drain this Stella keg today
Eagles farging suck. Boos should start soon.
Why did the crowd cheer delay of game? Idiots.

shtein, maybe one of these birds defenders will shock us all and not commit a boneheaded play and also actually hang on to a ball for an INT.
The roughing call was a disgrace but the Eagles handed them the ball at the 18. Stop doing that and they have a shot.
That was on Jenkins
Why is Blount in there again?
Wide farging open
Foles can't hit the side of a barn today.
Omg nick foles
Stop blowing Foles Colinsworth, he farging sucks

I don't know why I'm so farging angry, not like we didn't see this coming. Then again I wasn't expecting two miscues and a missed XP

I might not like the play but I like the decision.
Why? what was that for? Kick the farging ball, needed a touchdown there guys.
Doug had a guy upstairs run some simulations and reverse that call.
shtein, don't like this.
I guess it is windy, did you see the goalposts moving around?
Though the thought of it coming down to Matt Bryant makes me sick, I woulda gone for it. Worst case the Falcons are set up down there in Timbuktu. Now the Eagles are still one typical Julio Jones play or Foles wounded duck away from losing.

No way he has control!
Ffarg ME birds get hosed here
This rule needs to be blown up either way the outcome

Just get a farging stop here and then some first downs. Let us avoid drama for once.
A man can dream...
Been praying to every God for almost 50 year bradda
I say that's not a catch
sphincter check
Sigh
unreal
How? Jenkins is slow as shtein
Can't let them drain this all the way down and score.
Wentz ever gets a Julio caliber receiver, man.
Then again bird get some quality DB's?
Should have gone for it on 4th down Doug.
Doug's nuts shriveled up at the wrong time.
gonna lose I can feel it
No TD on that last drive will haunt us.
Over
Just let them score.
Well we can't blame Foles
More pissed about Jenkins on Julio Jones on 4th and 6

4 downs from here, Matty Ice, Julio. shtein
If you're Atlanta don't you just throw it at Jones until he scores?
Jim Schwartz blows
Steve Sarkisian
farg
Here it comes boys
My life story of 50+ years of cheering for this shtein show
Darby ripped that out at the end, might not be a catch
it's a catch
4th and 6, 4th and 2 same shtein.
FLY EAGLES FLY!!
I can't believe they're going to win their first super bowl with Nick farging Foles
What a horrible play call. Wtf would you roll out there and cut the field in half?
Yay birds.
Woooooooooo
Just lean across and pick up the first and end it
Lane Johnson wtf?

That was my favorite part of the game.

I bet Fletcher is upset that Carolina won't be the team coming to town :paranoid
I mentioned it multiple times but Steve Sarkisian farging sucked in this game. My MVP.
I can't believe we get to see the Eagles get spanked in another NFCCG at home. Miracles do happen!

the home underdogs
Worst win ever.
That's really going to screw up their draft position.
Is that his jab at being the "underdogs"?

I was eerily calm about this game until that last Atlanta drive. Loved having my son do the E-A-G-L-E-S chant with me when Mills rode Jones like a horny dog on that 4th down play.

In his defense he was probably at least a fifth of gin in by kickoff.
Now that I have calmed down, damn the defense was spectacular. 10 points were a gift. Ajaya's belated holiday gift and the weird, strange deflection on the punt netted 10 points. Very impressive. Good God the way the talking heads were building up Atlanta and how hot they were coming in I too was prepared for at least 24 points to be put up on birds D. Really impressive.
Only bummer was that drive that ate up most of the 4th Q and to only get a FG AND Jenkins on Jones on 4th and 6. Puzzling.

From Twitter:
QuoteIf Steve Sarkisian was still at Alabama, he would have kept Tua Tagovailoa on the bench. Georgia would have won the title, Falcons would have won this game. Sark is Atlanta's biggest nightmare since Sherman
Good win. Anyone whom has a problem with it is delusional.
1. it was cold
2. i cant believe they won
Congrats and good luck in the NFCCG guys. I personally would like to see the Eagles bring home the Lombardi. Some Dallas fans at the board I frequent called me a traitor for saying it but I don't GAS, I'm sick of Tom farging Brady and you just know the Pats will end up in the Superb Owl again. of the six remaining teams I hope the title goes to either Philly or The Vikes.
If you can win it all with Foles instead of Wentz, you farging earned it.
For real
And goal from the two?
Shout out to Sark whose been a problem for them all season. Rolling out and cutting the field I half is so dumb especially on a short field.
Yep, that was a boneheaded move by Sark. His Wikipedia bio edit preview cracked me up the hell up. There's a reason why he can't hold down a job for very long.
QuoteStephen Ambrose Sarkisian was a stable genius American football coach and is the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League but will possibly be homeless by the preseason.
:-D
it was a dumb call in theory but they had julio 1-1 with jalen mills and julio slipped. who knows what happens if he stays upright but this is not a terrible matchup.
but overall yea hes terrible and i have zero clue why he wasnt fired midseason

Playing armchair qb I would have tried something in the back of the endzone to Jones/Sanu. But I agree Mills on Julio you take that every time. Julio should have caught that but even if he does his foot would have landed out of bounds.
Cox was simply dominant last night. Granted the Falcons guards suck but even when they tried double teaming him he fought threw. Best DT in the game. Weather aside I'm surprised the Falcons didn't take more shots downfield.
Doug had amazing game plan. He relegated Foles to game manager and once he saw some openings in the defense and Foles got into a rythym he opened it up a bit. The weather played perfect for what he needed to do.

Lurie dancing after the game is a reminder of just how bush league this franchise is and will forever remain. Imagine Robert Kraft dancing after a divisional playoff win.

I'm no Lurie fan but I loved it. Who cares what Kraft and the other stiff white owners do after a big win. The team got a kick out of it.

I agree he's a windmill loving jerkoff but the one thing I always appreciated about Lurie is his relationship with his players. He's been an owner for a quarter of a century and I never remember hearing a bad word about the man from a player. Even Shady who had every reason to be bitter as hell gave him a hug when the Bills came to town. I liked his candor.

It was embarrassing in the sense that old white dudes dancing is always embarrassing, but given the fact that there hasn't been much playoff success around here for nearly a decade, I think it's perfectly fine for him (or anyone else) to be excited. And especially after the Chip debacle, for them to be where they are in 2 years is pretty awesome.
Enjoy it you farging curmudgeon.

That play call is probably going to save Matt Ryan a lot of grief about a play before when he had a TE running wide open right in front of him and he held the ball so long that it gave the LB (I think it was Bradham) a chance to close in. By the time Ryan threw it, they were closing in on the sideline and even had he caught it, I'm not positive he's able to turn and get in.

Yeah good point. TE had leverage and angle there and Ryan hesitated way too much. The DB had vacated the goal line so the TE was going to walk in
no voice. What a day I hope beermonkey can see today.
Bring on whoever because this is all gravy at this point.
watch this 1 million times but the end is fap material

the way republican al quiets down just as the e-a-g-l-e-s eagles chant ends as the music plays in the background...oh my im rock hard
I was nervous again watching that
When they tried that stupid shovel pass it kind of sealed it. Idiotic call there and Ryan attempting that in all that traffic was asinine.
Somehow that video led me to this...start at the 30 second mark. 'Merica gonna 'merica

I usually end up click baiting to beautiful people who look awful in swim suits to 9-11 conspiracy clips.
I know a few people who bait to 9-11 conspiracy clips.
The replay is on the NFLN right now. The bottom scroll was showing stats, Julio had 9 catches for 101 yards...would have never guessed it.
Vaitaii and Wis aren't the best in pass protection but most of the runs are to their side and there's usually a gaping hole. Ertz can't block for shtein. I wouldn't even shift him to that side on non passing plays. Falcons weren't getting much penetration on running plays. Their lbs did a poor job of filling holes too.
Mack...who's one of the best Centers in the league, doubled up with the guard against Cox and they still couldn't stop him.
Wiz has been fantastic in the run game, he doesn't get enough love.
