I am hoping , praying , Westy plays. I want them to play Philly at their best. I'm actually glad no one believes in us yet. I love flying under the radar. There is still bad blood from these 2 teams. The Falcons haven't forgot about the 2002 Divisional playoff loss or the 2004 NFC Championship loss.
People will think i'm a homer because i am taking my team. I honestly really don't care. So you can call my posts homerized or whatever you call them. lol .
Falcons defense has the ability to stop the run, we know that. The question mark comes in when we talk about pass defense not being able to play a full game. Early on the pass D looks incredible but then they can't seem to stay that way in the second half. On offense, I highly doubt the Eagles will stop the run and pass. If they stop one the other will open up. We all know Jimmy Johnson is sending the house on Ryan. Ryan already picked apart teams who sent the house. He will be ready. Eagles run D is a joke. Turner and Norwood connection will light up them for yard after yard. I believe Norwood is going to be used a lot more and he is a speedster. I see Norwood making some huge plays throughout the game. Watch out for "Rowdy" Roddy White. The most under rated WR in the NFL. He's been the best WR in the league these past week. The Eagles O-Line has not been good. Abraham has not had a sack in 1-2 games. Jamaal Anderson just had his breakout game. Look for alot of pressure on McNabb.
Heres a stat to remember. Falcons lead the NFL in 1st quarter points. Expect them to get out to an early lead and when in the red zone they will need TDs > FGs. That is one thing coach Smith has been working on throughout the bye, red zone TDs. If we can execute we will win this game out right.
I can't see the Eaglols winning by more than 7 if they win.
Falcons +9 ..... I love flying under the radar
yeah you guys were underrated and all that cute stuff... not so much any more. and it would help if you knew anything about the team they're playing this week, but who knows, maybe you'll get lucky....
what i know is that you're retarded to say that the eagles run d sucks.
week 1: steven jackson: 40 yds (14 carries)
week 2: marion barber: 63 yds (18 carries)
week 3: willie parkers: 20 yds (13 carries)
week 4: Matt Forte: 43 yds (19 carries)
now, I don't know if you've been watching football much this year, but those 4 guys have been pretty good otherwise. the skins have run on everyone so you can't consider that too much, and gore at home was lucky to have a solid offensive game plan to help him out, but the bye week will definitely be the time that they address that and get back to playing like the did the first 4 weeks when they were the number 1 run D in the league. As for the whole thing about atlanta scoring the most first quarter points i actually heard the same thing about eagles, only i think it was first half points, so maybe the first half over is worth a look.
Any way you spin it, outside of the game in green bay, atlanta got swallowed big by tampa and carolina on the road and those d's aren't really any better than the eagles, so that's why the big point spread, if atlant brings it, they can stay in this game, otherwise, they could get blown out, but remember, as good as he's been, it's still only a rookie under center and he hasn't faced a defense as savage as this.
PHI -9
1st half over
They are ranked 9th in the NFL, minus the 145 they let Portis have (which he's doing to everybody this season) they'd be top 5.
. So let's not say he's been going on the road and doing it against everyone. All of those Jim Johnson exotic blitzes will confuse the hell out the Ryan and the Eagles probably win by double digits. I however, will lay off this one because I never lay this many points in the NFL.
under 45
McNabb-9
