a win today will be huge even if it's just week 2.....would mean 2-0 in conference and a win against a team we could be tied with at the end.
tough one though. falcons were embarrased last week. they're better than that.
they will probably blitz less than the rams did so vick may have more time. that could free up celek for some big catches.
concerned about our run defense. turner's a beast. young mathews will have his hands full.
i wanna see how chaney does against tony gonzalez. big test for him.
a loss isn't the end of the world. but starting 2-0 with the soft part of the schedule on tap before the bye would be fucking great.
GO. BIRDS.
gonna be a close game. hope they win, but have my worries. I say 27-24 eagles.

loved the approach of the offense tonight. i think shady is the best player on this team. at least offensively. turnovers will kill you every time though.
vick...neck injury. fingers are crossed. kafka looked good...that happens a lot with backups when the d didn't prepare for them though.
i was concerend about the run defense and interested in how chaney looked against gonzalez. yeah, still concerned. lb's got pushed all over the place for the 2nd game in a row.....defense was bad in the redzone too.
this game is a perfect example of my beef with andy reid. guy's a good coach, no doubt. but he always has problems thinking on his feet, especially in tight situations. not sure why you don't throw the challenge flag on that interception that really wasn't in the 3rd. cost us 7 points. then at the end you blow a timeout when he should have known what he was going to call if 3rd down didn't pan out. those extra 10 seconds sure would have come in handy at the end there. you'd think in 13 years he would improve in these areas...
like i said this morning, 1-1 is not the end of the world (i had them 0-2 at this point). but blowing a big lead in the 4th quarter is distressing. really hope vick is okay.
entertaining game though.....soft part of the schedule heading into the bye is on deck.
and here comes september...we're 1-1 but we suck. honestly my personal favorite though is the fans for the team from Washington (insert your fave al pic here) who text me about how much everyone in the East sucks and that they are going to the Super Bowl. The best part with them is when they quit next week after they lose to the Cowboys on the road.
As much as I'm rooting for Vick....why did he foolishly feel the need to respond to Falcon fans while walking off the field? That's what they are supposed to do heckle you and get under your skin...there's no need to point to the scoreboard just because your team was up at that time. Let it GO and play when you can play!

there is a reason i didn't draft him in fantasy...this might be it...
those dream team comments might come back and haunt you guys.
ironically it happened while he stayed in the pocket and completed a tough pass. he wasn't even hit that hard too--just banged helmets with his right tackle on the way down.
the dream team comment was foolishly made by one guy, vince young, and then the media ran with it. i had them at 0-2 at this point. they should have won that game by 2 touchdowns. left a lot points on the board.
they're work in progress till the end of the season. hopefully vick doesn't miss too much time.

entertaining game though.....soft part of the schedule heading into the bye is on deck.
also--offensive line is better than i expected.
jackson is the best and most talented player on this offense and not sure how that is disputed. mccoy is pretty good though.
maclin never drops a ball...oops. stunning that he dropped that one.
chaney and the linebackers are awful. reid's never valued linebackers but this is the worst group of all.
why do we continue to insist on having shitty linebackers cover great tight ends, especially in obvious passing downs? the falcons last 3rd and 4 on about the 20 where we head chaney still covering gonzalez was a disaster. gonzalez takes 2 steps turns right and is wide open for an easy 1st down. awful defense. they could have thrown the ball to gonzalez all night
not reid's fault for not challenging that play. at no point before the next play was there a definitive replay to show it wasn't a catch. it wasn't until much later that the replay showing it bounced came out. plus if i'm not mistaken wouldn't that have been the eagles last challenge of the game and still had over a quarter to play? although i've always believed that one of the 87 coaches teams have is a 'strategy coach' who looks only at replays/when to challenge and things like when to go for 2. take those things off the head coaches plate.
mike smith taking 3 knees then punting the ball to jackson was by far the most inept and stupid decision of the game. no reason not to try and run the ball and get a 1st down.
mccoy led the team in rushes, rushing yards, and catches last year. he's also vastly improved as a blocker. so, it can be disputed if you know football.
reid actually won his first challenge so he still had 2 left. it was a huge turning point in the game, you gotta throw the flag. no question.
but clearly they lost because they didn't throw the ball 80% of the time though.

nope actually they lost because of a horrible turnover on a running play at the end of the 2nd quarter (awesome play by jackson to run him down by the way), shitty linebackers, and an injury because we left our mobile quarterback standing in the pocket like a statue as you requested (although it was a completely fluky play so can't blame it on anything but shitty luck). and i won't even mention how easily our passing game rolled down the field with a 3rd string never played before qb...

those damn risky running plays! they always end up like that! :thumbup:
vick got injured "because" we left him the pocket huh? it was a soft hit. he just banged helmets with herremans. you're right though. he's more likely to get killed in the pocket than by bobbing and weaving between linebackers and safties. bring back the 2003 mike vick! :?
backup quarterback against a prevent defense is your argument for throwing the ball over 80% now?
wow. just.... this is the philadelphia eagles thread. we're supposed to be knowledgable fans. it's an embarrasement that this thread is filled up with so much of your nonsense. think i'm gonna spend more time in the bears thread (or even, gulp, the cowboys thread). good god. :roll:
ok..maybe a better question would be...do you know if it is a minor concussion or a more severe :?:
you philly people should be all over this.
nobody knows yet
apparently he was walking around the locker room telling people he was fine. but people said he didn't look good.
with concussions you have to go through mulitiple tests spanning a couple days apart and then get cleared by team docs and then by an independet doctor. i'd be surprised if he plays this week...

well we've finally found something we can agree on.

80% - and it is kind of funny watching juggler's head explode on here about it.
and tough loss saturday johnny. only saw mid 3rd quarter to mid 4th quarter but penn state looked like they got pretty lucky. the lack of skill players on Penn State's offense is kind of disturbing. other than moye doesn't seem like they got much big play skill on offense. even Redd is kind of average for that level.

no he's going to have to go threw multiple tests this week. probably won't know till late in the week.
