F@lcon Jack Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I want the Falcons to win just as much as anybody but my prediction would probably be: 30 - 27 Eagles over Falcons What is your prediction???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggerman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 We get a can opened up on us, and get the biggest slice of Humble pie. Honestly I expect Ryan to have a tough game, but this game will be a barometer for him 7 games deep. Lots of positive will come from a probable defeat.If we win, I will be flabbergasted and stunned and will never doubt these birds again!!

Scott24Falcons Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If the Eagles' run defense plays like it has the past few games, we have a great shot at pulling out a win. We can't allow the big play on defense, though. McNabb is going to get his yards, but we have to limit the 20+ yard plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighurt Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think we will have success running the ball against the Eagles. The have a small front if we can get a hat on a hat, we will have success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggerman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 you ppl give to much credit to the eagles they are no better then the bears or greenbay for that matter, we have beat 2 teams with winning records, give us some more credit.We are playing them at home, The Eagles are INSANE at home. I know so is GB, but an Eagles team after a bye at Home is pretty scarey. J. Johnson will have them blitzing like 50x, and he has the best blitze packages that can confuse a young QB. I know all of Ryan's stats against the Blitz, but it isn't sacks that kill its short field opportunities for the Eagles O, that will do us in. I expect Ryan to throw 2 INt's, unless we run wild on them. Which is a possibility. I am pumped for this game, but I also know our pass D, needs fine tuning and some work, but The Eagles are getting Curtis on the field, and Westbrook. We will be spread more than a Philly Hooker. I didn't say we would automaticlly lose, but I think we may come down a bit off this high. We have already exceeded expectation!!! Its all Gravy from here. (all apologies to Big Grady!) Philly has a huge line, and the best back in the game when healthy in Westbrook. I am not taking away credit from the Birds, but I know we are a work in progress, and I will consider this game a heat check for our squad.I do not expect to win, but think if we play it tight to the chest we might shock em.

Dem Birds Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 This game can go either way, really. We could get our ***** completely stomped or we could narrow out a win. I doubt we can blow them out, but like someone else said, depends on which Eagles run D shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsupersport Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 35--33 FalconsCould go either way, hoping Falcons pull it out, and I will not pick against them, until they give me a reason too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don™ Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Their D-coordinator is a sick one. He will biltz a lot, and he will expect Ryan to throw the ball under immense pressure. I think it will be a tough game, but this game will show that this team has A LOT of heart and character . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconMama Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I wish we had a threat at TE, he could be a big part of the game plan because the Eagles D have trouble covering them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCONS IN FLIGHT Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 with this team still being a young team and in the rebuilding stages, it will be tough to win in Philly. I say a prayer every gameday for them and this team doesn't quit. This is a different looking team than we have seen in a few years. I think the Falcons can win if they score early and don't let penalties kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUG.DURTYBIRD Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think our passing game wins this one for us. Ryan will pass for over 250 yrds.28-24 FALCONS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfactor Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If we can get pressure on McNabb he gets rattled and throws interceptions but that is a big IF. The Eagles will be the healthiest they been all year with Westbrook and Curtis back. If we allow Mcnabb time to throw he will have a huge game against us.We all know Johnson is going to dial up the Blitz and so far it hasn't bode well for Ryan but he improves each week. Playing a healthy Eagles team at home coming off of a bye on paper we should not come out with a win. IF we do it will be like a train going down hill and we will be very hard to stop.Keys to a win Pressure on McNabbKnock out Westbrook early Establish the run early this will stop a lot of the blitzing and open up the passing game for Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Rider Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Turner runs for a buck 50 and Jerious adds 60 to 70. Ryan throws for 150 to 200 and we squeek one out 27-24. I believe Ryan either has to drive us down for the go ahead TD or the game winning field goal. Either way this will be close and we have to run to control their blitzes. If we get way behind Ryan will be a very sore QB after the game. Run, run then run some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
