Nice Avi TP76. I miss those full facemasks. Looks badass on Julius Adams, a badass in his own right!

What was the final count on flags thrown/accepted?

I got tired to seeing that refs face.

Someone take away @rmilia1 's shoestrings and belt. And bed sheets.

Cudos to the Eagles defense! Very impressive!

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Terrible game plan IMO by coach Pederson. He was so confident with Foles in the playoffs and now he played like “Don’t blow this game Foles. No passes over 5 yards”

My all time favorite Patriot... passed away recently. Thanks Retro

the first few weeks of the real season is what you can call preseason II but with the starters this time

The Falcons have a very solid secondary and Foles doesn't exactly have the strongest arm either. He had Wallace open and the Falcons CB played it perfectly. Went would have aired it over his head into Wallace's hands easily.files is good for what he is, short passing, run option. It's working.

Someone take away @rmilia1 's shoestrings and belt. Asheets.

Lol. I'm fine. Just

Foles is mediocre but the game plan was to conservative. Remember the bombs and flea flickers in the SB. Just way too conservative.

Certainly wasn’t the 4 TD blowout you predicted.

 

[Roy Munson]

ATL looked gassed from the 2nd quarter on.

Their conditioning coach should help the O-coordinator pack his office.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Falcons and the under. Not sure the Eagles have the heart to come out of the gate ready to defend their one good season.

Damn... I was soooo proud of you that you finally manned up and actually made your first prediction ever before a game with a post and then you get it wrong.

That game was awful. They need to abolish the preseason and just give the starters as much practice time as they need. The less practice time deal with this current CBA has been making the first couple of weeks just extended preseason games. Everything is sloppy and no one is ready.

I'm not saying Pederson had a good game plan in this one against Atlanta. But to be fair, it's a long season, and with Wentz out possibly into October, I'm not surprised the offensive game plan is starting out on such a vanilla level. I don't view Foles as a guy who can reliably keep the type of game plans they had in the 2017/18 playoffs up for a long stretch of time. As long as they manage to win games, I can understand why they'd hold off a little this early on. It made total sense to unleash all that with Foles in the playoffs/Superbowl. They're better off being a little more conservative until Wentz comes back, IMO. Not that they shouldn't try big plays, but I think it's unwise to try to do it the same way they did in the playoffs with Foles still under center this early on.

Very fair and agreeable post
