Eagles/Falcons talk

[PhillyPhreak54]

So they will have three healthy WRs today (Avant, Cheggie and Maclin)

A TE fresh off a sprained thumb that caused him to drop 3-4 balls

Falcons pass defense is brutal (allowing 253 yards a game, 27th in the NFL)

OL is getting into a groove in the sense that they are playing 5 guys for the whole game + Shady is running well and Weezy is a stud.

Falcons run defense is also not very good (121 yards a game, 23rd in the NFL)

I hope Big Red leans on the run early and doesn't have McNabb air it out 50 times. Unlikely, even with depleted WR corps, but one can hope.

Vick coming back = non-factor

Maclin returning punts = scary

[PhillyPhreak54]

Falcons 12-1 in their last 13 at home (5-0 this year)

No Turner and Ryan, but I have this eerie feeling that Chris farging Redman and Jason Snelling are going to man up and conjure up the bad memories of scrubs like JaMarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski and James Mungro raping the defense.

Tony Gonzalez against these LBs? lol

[PhillyGirl]

Well, Phreak...lol..when you put it that way, why bother even watching? They have no chance.

[shorebird]

We watch because we're suckers for punishment.

[BigEd76]

Jenkins is out too, so Rowdy Roddy will be covered by Asante and Sheldon will get Finneran or whoever

Stacy Andrews is a healthy scratch again

[Rome]

lol @ stacy andrews.  what a colossal bust.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, Phreak...lol..when you put it that way, why bother even watching? They have no chance.

I'm just saying that it shouldnt be a shock if the Eagles play down to their level today.

I think they will win, but we've seen this script before.

Nevertheless,

Eagles - 27
Falcons - 14

Eagles roll

Eagles 33

Dirty Birds 17

Avant has a huge day

Over under

Number of Vick Plays  5

Number of times this dumb ass crew talks about Vick  100

[Munson]

Ah there's the Reggie Brown we know and love.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Great job so far:

Maclin gets tripped up by the punter with the whole field to run (and limps off, but came back in)

McNabb refuses to run for a first down

Cheggie drops an easy one

Yay farging red zone!!

[Munson]

Reggie redeems himself.



Phreak-Despite the ridiculous amount of FGs in the redzone, that stat they put up about the Eagles having the longest active scoring streak in the redzone is a tiny bit comforting.



Weaver! TD.....farg, the only eagles starter I don't have on my fantasy team

[Munson]

Macho should have been flagged for something there, but Tony G definitely wrapped his arm around Macho's head and threw him down

Why does GameCenter show Kevin Curtis throwing four passes?
