If you're going to give Barkley the ball, just hand it off and run the clock down.

I gotta say a big shout out to Morris and the Falcons coaching org to take the offsides/neutral zone infraction. I was thinking "Just allow the first down" but that's easy to say watching it on a screen and must slower than things are happening. That was a brilliant decision and I think should NOT be overlooked at all this game. Keeping that 3rd and inches was basically game over.

Offensive play call on 3rd down was fine, poor execution on Saquon's part. Defensive play calling on that last drive was horrendous. Should have gone for it on 4th. Totally different mentality playing up 3 and up 6 as we all saw. We're up 3 this game is in OT right now.

Could’ve ran a lot of clock running it

The Eagles now have to go play the saints. Start the Sirianni hot seat watch.

Actually, why the fuck are they throwing the ball....the opponent is more the clock than the Falcons, so throwing it is mentally challenged...like totally mentally challenged

I agree - it was a stupid call - they could’ve run off 40 more seconds with a run play and they had been running it well. Should never have thrown the ball.
And then the Eagles pass rush was a total no show on that final drive - Kirk had all day and he did great. Pass rush has been a huge issue for the Eagles.

Especially with hurts throwing it, was on the money though

It was an inexcusable call and we saw why.

Watched the end of the game & thought.....

Also good for Kirk. (& London is a bonehead)

I'm still completely baffled by the Saints.. and what they are doing... That team is the definition of a Twilight Zone at the moment.

Yeah, sure. Could have made a simple catch and got the first down as well. Called a great play, just didn't execute the catch.

That Saints offense right now is going to gash that Eagles secondary

 

[msgkings322]

I have no idea where that's from or who it is.

Dave Chappelle on his show from 20 years ago (man has it been that long?)
You should take a look, HOF level sketch show

Oh.
And one more thing Here is another example why I cant stand prevent defenses!

It’s only one thing it prevents you from

Barkley dropped it. He also could have fumbled a run play. Honestly, should have gone for it on 4th. Getting a 6 point lead doesn't really mean much, especially if that's the defensive plan.

Every year a couple teams surprise to the upside and a couple to the downside. After 4 games I'll do a thread where we pick who those teams are this year...Saints might be one

Remember when Siriani arrogantly decided to not kick a 1st quarter FG on 4th and 6 from chip shot.

It is like Karma arrogance always pays a price.

He looks like a moron now that cost his team a win because that decision was compounded by stupidity late.

He put himself on a hot seat.
