Sunday Night Football: Philadelphia @ Atlanta 8:20pm ET NBC

When your QB has a passer rating of 6.2... it’s time to go to the running game.

I agree

 

[eaglesnut]

He honestly takes the month of September and plays out all these passing routes and personal match up, I get it he wants to put plays on film and see what the offense can do, but with these backs he needs to give them more touches

If we're going to focus on running the football then give Howard 30 touches and wear teams out. Anything else and we may as well sling it around.

You can have a solid dose of both and Dougie knows that, he’s working on his QB getting the rust off and save his RBs legs for the cold weather

I'm actually pretty pleased with where Atlanta is at. The D ( other than the first 3 or 4 possessions of the year) has looked great. OL is playing much better than last year despite losing Lindstrom and the one area i wasn't concerned about ( passing game ) has nowhere to go but up . 1-1 after at Minnesota and vs Philly is fine by me . Ryan needs to get his shit together and we will be golden especially now with Brees out 6-8 weeks

Actually, it wasn't. It was your CB getting smashed and you watching Julio break it off in your ass.

Nope, I can post 3 penalties on that one play for you. Lineman 5 yards down field before the pass, both blocks were blocks in the back. But I’m not blaming the refs. I’m sure we will get breaks this year too.
The one that really hurt us was the Wentz 2 point conversion. He runs for the end zone dives in head first and the call it “QB giving himself up”. Jeez that was bad. Well if he did that why didn’t Atlanta get penalized for hitting him then. We would have been down 3 instead of 4 on that final drive.
The Agholor drop on such an easy catch plus other plays is why we lost though, but there was 3 penalties on Julio’s TD

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

It wasn’t a penalty. The lineman can block anyone within 1 yard of the LOS. He’s just sour grapes.

It was 4th and 3 and he was past the first down marker. But that was just one play so I don’t blame the refs.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Ball was in Jones hand when the BLOCK occurred.

Yep but an OLineman can’t be 5 yards down field when the pass is thrown.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

not true

It is true. For one it was a block in the back and 2nd he was 5 yards down down field which is illegal too. But I’m not blaming the loss on one call. There were several Eagle issues that lost the game

 

[NWPATSFAN]

It was 4th and 3 and he was past the first down marker. But that was just one play so I don’t blame the refs.

No he wasn't. Go watch it again. He's a yard or two of the marker on the Philly side of the ball.

You are somthin

Wrong

@Manster7588 says jones had already caught the ball which makes him fair game. Plus, I recall the announcer commenting that it was a great play. PLUS it was a scoring play and all scoring plays are reviewed.

No penalty.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Wrong

The pass was past the 4th down market and it was 4th and 3. So the CB was even deeper then 3 yards. But I don’t blame the loss on it. It was just a bad call that had 3 penalties

 

[Manster7588]

Yep but an OLineman can’t be 5 yards down field when the pass is thrown.

So now that I shot down the timing of the block you move the goal posts to how far down field it was.

Too bad the block occured 3 yards down field.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

No he wasn't. Go watch it again. He's a yard or two of the marker on the Philly side of the ball.

You are somthin

You know what. I just saw pictures and you were right about him not being too har down field. But that knocks it down to just 2 penalties

Move the goal posts. Jesus

No it wasn't it was a screen behind the two blockers who weren't even at the first down marker. Go watch it again before arguing again.

 

[Manster7588]

Move the goal posts. Jesus

Well you did.

You. "He blocked early."
Me. "No he didn't, Jones already caught the ball."
You. "Well then the lineman was to far down field."

By the way your wrong on too far down field too.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

We're getting there. Baby steps.

One has to wonder if PE1 was watching the same game as the rest of us?

I said you were right but I dont know now. I have the pics and you can see. But Im still not blaming the refs for the loss. We will get our fair share of bad calls through out the season too. (Click on image to expand)

Penalty 1 Sanus block in the back


Potential penalty #2 The box around the guy in the middle of the field is where the LOS is. Matthews on Atlanta seems pretty far down field. Its close.



Penalty #3 Thats a complete and undeniable block in the back.
