they are, which means this will go to a decent chunk of the country
seattle/indy is much better game so i dont get why thats not their top 1:00 game but hey now kansas gets to see the eagles

There's a nonzero chance Jacob Eason is starting for Indy.
Still probably a better game.

any chance I get it in upstate NY?
i would think, yea. no competition from an NY team and its the #1 game, at least according to announcer assignments.
Both networks have the doubleheader in Week 1 too. Think you're gonna be in good shape regardless of whether your locale is considered NYC BUF or NE market.
it's kind of both...you get both Albany and Burlington markets
looking at the sked tho the jets will def keep it off the Albany market cause that's a fox game right?
.
Lol..the Burlington market? That's a thing?
Yeah it's really sad but hilariously fun to watch the local news....it looks like it's from the 70's

Nope. CBS. I think the general rule is the away team determines the network although all of those rules have gotten looser over the last few years.
yea its supposed to be with the road team but the next tv contract wont have any designation really (fox is paying more and will get more dallas/ny type games) and theres barely one now
if you want to know how low rent local tv is in small markets, theres youtube videos of me on a south texas sports show that is basically cheltenham high school quality
so am I getting it or not tv genius?

Tears of joy streaming all over that Five-Fo jersey when Jalen Hurts gives Nick Siririsinriai his first win!
The two owners of the Falcons have been Rankin Smith and Arthur Blank. Their coach is Arthur Smith.
Don't think the Eagles can compete with that level of synchronicity.
27-17 Falcons

Yeah, not since the DLine with Long-Cox-Sweat. That's the kind of level you need to win SBs.
opened at 4 and its down to 3 at most places
the people love the eagles

I've got to work today, but they've changed the dress code to allow us to wear jerseys on game day. Time to bust out the Shawn Andrews jersey.
when you show up today but do nothing, it will explain everything
Eagles - 23
Falcons - 17
Let's go.
Falcons 27
Eagles 17
Some positive signs, but in the end too many mistakes.
My prediction: it's gonna be really sloppy
yep, gonna me messy
the whole league takes a couple games to get in shape anymore
two teams with new (rookie) HCs
Hurts as starter
Defense is in shtein form already baby
they are getting some pressure on ryan but calvin ridley is always open, so thats not ideal
farging yesssssss
SLIM REAPER
Gotta say, playcalling is already better than anything I saw last year.
That was fun.
the falcons have a bad defense and there is no intel on the eagles offense, so not bad
thing im most pleased with is hurts putting that td pass on the money
Quote from: MDS on September 12, 2021, 01:28:12 PM

Yeah I'm wondering how these concepts will hold up to film.
Better than sucking out the gate though.
One bad call and now the Falcons are butthurt about every tackle near the sideline.
im not a numbers guy but these low numbers everywhere are turning me into hentz
me too Todd
i figure I'll get used to it I hope
classic jim johnson bend but dont break going on here

Honestly looks more like the also classic Falcons sucking balls in the red zone.
and there is nick sirianni
if you know youre going for it on 4th, which is fine, a tight slant on 3rd isnt the play. then whatever the hell they were doing on 4th didnt work.
ive seen enough...fire him

Thank you!
Don't mind the call, want to see the replay to see who missed a block.
Breathe.
man their linebackers are BAD

Consistency baby, consistency.
Maybe in our lifetime howie will address secondary and linebackers
Atlanta crowd is dumb as hell, they keep cheering for flags that end up being against them.
Smith should have ran at the Eagles LBs on 3rd and 20.
Reagor sighting.
I was beginning to wonder if another one of his friends died.
QB, did you mean the crowd or all those empty red seats?

Sad start the season when they called JJAW's name before yours
Loved to see Hurts threatening to run and hitting the pass.
Christ, these flags. Let them play ref!
Thanks OL for killing this drive
Beautiful punt buy whatever the farg his name is that's punting.
man both of these teams are bad
Curious to see if they take any shots downfield or we get more of those checkdowns and slants.
Quote from: MDS on September 12, 2021, 02:15:40 PM

I said the same thing to my son. This game is craptastic.
The weird thing was two defensive holdings called on running plays. New "point of emphasis?" I'm not sure I've seen two of those in the last decade.
Incredible. They're going to end up with 20 penalties.

Offensive line showed up! 🤮🤮🤮
That is not a touchdown.
Great catch. Lol at this million replay garbage.

I wish they showed replays of the defensive holding because I have never seen defensive holding on the same guy in what, was that not the same series? On a d lineman on a running play? WTH???
These penalties are making this unwatchable! I'm leaning on turning the Phillies game on
Two score game.
Maybe it's my low expectations, but overall I'm feeling positive about that first half and about Hurts. Maybe they won't be a bottom 5 team after all.
Penalties are sloppy as farg but it's the first game in a new regime with essentially none of these guys playing preseason. Not gonna draw too many conclusions about that.
Got away with one there Goddard was moving before the snap on the two.

I'm watching the game with the family in the living room, where we only have one TV. The Phillies have been reduced to the Kindle.
I'd watch the Jags-Texans game over the Phillies.
As I'm sure no one is checking the Phillies score ace Nola on cue pitching a great game and gives up the three run donger to Ned Nobody.
Hurts lucky not to lose the ball on that sack.
Mailata's second job is picking up at least one other teammate after the play.
Stoll had a good block on the big Sanders gain.
I can't help but like Hurts.
Ertz has a hammy injury
Shocking, Ertz banged up.
The refs are being very generous to the Eagles.
Quote from: Diomedes on September 12, 2021, 03:00:26 PM

Goedert caught that, get over it.
Could not have Ryan walked for that first down?
Because Hurts is likable. Also, what's the story with Pam Oliver? I know she had some sort of issue in a game last year, but she still sounds like she's talking with a mouth full of marbles. Does she have some sort of ongoing condition?
Lucky not to get a false start there.
Good play call.
I like that Hurts doesn't play hero ball on every goddamn run.

Her ongoing condition is she keeps getting assigned to Eagles games.

Mailata is a crusher.
Come onnnnnn
Sirianni gets Petersonia when he goes for it on 4th down. Just dumb play calling.
Don't like the call to Gainwell in that spot.
Hurts hasn't been flawless, but 1) no huge mistakes, 2) crisp decision making, 3) accurately seeing what the defense is giving him. Very positive. Ideally you'd like to see him hitting some deep balls but they've been playing to his strengths.
Wanted field goal here. Points
Play was a disaster from the beginning
Hayden Hurst looks like a douche.
If you're Arthur Smith do you not go to Pitts play after play? Eagles have no one that can come close to matching up to this guy.
Arthur Smith looks like some average schlub that won a contest to be on the sidelines.
This we can now say yes, defensive holding on runs is one of the infamous "points of emphasis".
This is a pleasant feeling. I will enjoy this for a few minutes.
So... where are we having the Super Bowl party? :-D :paranoid
offensive line taking control there
that was the best thing about the eagles on paper, and there you go
We need more rugby talk.
Arthur Smith needs to invest in a peloton.
How was there no false start flag on that?
MVP Siposs
Falcons remind me of the Phillies
Enough with the dancing on kick returns. Goddamn.
Reagor not a very good receiver and not a very good punt returner.

Quez has been running backwards on those too. You're up 16. If it isn't there, it isn't there.
im not sure if theyre sitting on this or just too mediocre to finish it off
Getting conservative too early for my liking.

This game got real boring real fast.
I'm having more fun texting Seabiscuit getting caught up on our families
Oh bullshtein he was so in the grasp what a farging bullshtein call
Actually very impressive that there getting all this pressure with only four-man rush the entire game
think atlanta might be regretting not taking a qb at the top of the draft this year
matt ryan woooof
The Eagles are straight up better than the Falcons. Lines have dominated.
Nice!! Hargrave great game today!!
F'ing Lane! Bad day, Juice got his brain all fogged up
What a beautiful play, holee farg.
That fake was a thing of beauty.

No one knows anything before Week 1.

HOLY shtein! Like Olsen just said that's as good as it gets
What the Eagles DL is doing rushing four is a farging embarrassment for Arthur Smith.
Excited about the offense but shtein those last two sacks woke up the Don Ho house
Unbelievable, after those first two drives I was a little concerned but both announcers kept saying how the Falcons have that history of not being able to get the ball in the Endzone, but damn! Very
Impressive. Yeah they stink but I'll take this all day!
FOX production crew serving up some Men at Work for Mailata.
Pretty good shot at being alone in first place at the end of the day.
1) dline can get to the qb when they have a lead
2) oline was great outside of the false starts which is an easy cleanup
3) hurts was not an abomination. nobody crowning him as the one but he doesnt suck
https://twitter.com/LesBowen/status/1437151834817323009
According to my math, 146. So 114 yards the rest of the way.
Atlanta is a bad, bad team... but I'll take it.
Not a bad game, nice to start season with a W. :yay
Probably gonna get rough down the road though.
Mailata's hit was just an obliteration. My buddy is a Raider fan and couldn't give two shteins about the Eagles. He texted me after he saw the hit and said, he's the next Jason Peters. I hope so but damned if he isn't he sure looks like it right now.
Aside from Jarrett Atlanta's d line is mediocre but god damn it was great seeing the Birds o line annihilate them. Haven't seen an o line beat down a team like that in a long time.
Hurts...who knows. Said Id give him a full season before making a judgement. Great start. Great pocket awareness.
Slim reaper is going to be a special player. Offensively I feel like they have a ton of weapons.
Slay played the role of shutdown today. Hargraves finally earned his paycheck. Sweat is on the cusp of being a pro bowler. I missed the first drive because I was at my daughters softball game but I'm not sure why Atlanta stopped running Patterson.
Kyle Pitts will turn into a great TE but time and time again no matter how high they're drafted TE's never play up to their potential year one.
Give Sirriani credit where it's due. Aside from going for it with a god awful off tackle run with Gainwell on 4th and 2 he called a solid game.
Not sure why they keep taking it out of the end zone. Just take the 25.
Sounded like a great game from what I heard at work. Really looking forward to watching the abridged version later.

he was an absolute monster....him and cox pushed the line in on almost every play
Saw this today:
QuoteNext Gen stat of the game: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was especially effective against the blitz, completing 9 of 11 passes for 108 yards and two TDs versus Atlanta. During his rookie season in 2020, Hurts had four TDs and one INT versus the blitz.
Nice!

Damn!
QuoteAnd 12 days after getting released, Ridgeway played terrific football.
He had one of three Eagles sacks, he had three hurries, he had a tackle for loss, he had two tackles and he although he didn't get credit for a sack for it, his pressure in the second quarter forced Matt Ryan to spike the football and draw a 14-yard intentional grounding penalty that effectively killed a drive.

Yes. The thing I noticed most was that his choreographed celebration "kick" was out of sync with the rest of the line and had to figure out who it was. That was the one time I said, "oh, right...forgot Kerrigan was on the team." Then again, I think he'll be along the lines of what we saw with Long at the end, where it'll be hit and miss with visible production. I don't think he got a crazy amount of snaps, at least it didn't seem it.
