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.

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

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.

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.

Hurts lucky not to lose the ball on that sack.

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.

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.

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.

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.
