Eagles/Falcons Discussion/Predictions/Whatever

[BigEd76]

Eagles open as an 8-point favorite, O/U 46

The Falcons haven't won in Philly since late October, 1988

Andy Reid after the bye week....yea we know that one

I expect the Eagles D to dominate as long as they keep Turner under control

[shorebird]

I hope Andrews can play, this team has been too long without him.

[SD_Eagle5]

Eagles are 8 point favorites? I'll take the Falcons

[hbionic]

Based on his game against the Bears, I now have a perpetual chubby for Matt Ryan.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Amazing stat I heard last week about Ryan...he's been blitzed something like 46 times this year and has not been sacked on a blitz at all.

Impressive for a rookie.

And about time for that streak to end. It's obvious, but they have to control Turner/Norwood and make the impressive rook beat 'em.

There is no excuse for coming out and losing this game.

And John Abraham has had a career resurgence; he has to be stopped by Trilliam and Sasquatch.

Amazing stat I heard last week about Ryan...he's been blitzed something like 46 times this year and has not been sacked on a blitz at all.

I had heard something like that as well.  I know the Bears didn't sack him at all... and I think the Packers only got him once.

Can't believe I'm actually saying this, but the Eagles need to be very aware of Roddy White.  He's becoming a very complete WR and is their big-play guy.  Got to take him away from Ryan.  Jenkins isn't their most dangerous guy... but he's kinda sneaky on deep passes.  He caught a deep ball back in '05 vs. the Eagles that set up a short TD in a game the Birds lost by 4 pts.

anybody that has Turner for fantasy knows that when the Falcons go up against a stout Run D...he falls short. He has done it 3 times now against Chicago, TB and Carolina...expect the same again

So that leaves Roddy White against the secondary

with Westbrook and all recievers somewhat healthy....McNabb should shred this defense/secondary which still ranks in the bottom tier of the NFL

Eagles 28
Falcons 10

The same stout run defense that let Clinton Portis and Frank Gore run all over god's creation in consecutive weeks? Yeah, let's not go jerking off the run defense just yet.

[SunMo]

well, i already started, it would be rude of me to stop now

[ice grillin you]

seriously....its like no one watched the last two games and honestly i doubt reese did since he cares way more about fantasy football than real football...


i think its a coin flip as to whether they shut him down or not...they defintiely could...but to act like the eagles have some sort of dominant run defense is laughable

[reese125]

yeah I know....this is the same run D that stopped Barber, S Jackson and Willie Parker...but Im so way off base...stop it

Cracks me up hearing people talk about a great running team in Atlanta. Thats wonderful...you can run on Detroit, KC and GB....welcome to everyone else in the league.

Atlanta's running game is very suspect....and igy...your negativity about everything on this earth overshadows your thinking on all levels...including football..believe that

[reese125]

seriously....its like no one watched the last two games and honestly i doubt reese did since he cares way more about fantasy football than real football...

and your ability to not be able to put the 2 together in some sense is beyond laughable kid

wake up

[ice grillin you]

i picked the eagles to win idiot....at least use the played out hater card when im actually hating


and lol at their running game being suspect at #2 in the NFL but the eagles run d is dominant ranked #10

[reese125]

#1..no you didnt...Ill never believe you will pick any Philly team to win...if you come on here claiming you did... youre lying.

and one more time for the little people out there taking the yellow bus to work

DETROIT, KANSAS CITY, GREEN BAY

[rjs246]

Hey they stopped Barber, I'll give them credit for that. But Willie Parker and Stephen Jackson, for all of their talent, are running behind absolutely atrocious offensive lines. The defense is fine against the run, but jesus, settle down before you shoot in your pants.
