BCEagleATLFalcon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It doesn't excuse last week (there's a difference between losing a hard-fought game on the road and being pummeled on the road), but I can't pretend that that information isn't at least a little calming. Thanks for the research! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falken Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 It doesn't excuse last week (there's a difference between losing a hard-fought game on the road and being pummeled on the road), but I can't pretend that that information isn't at least a little calming. Thanks for the research! I never saw our boys lay down. We were definitely outplayed and out-coached. This is the only game I've seen our boys look that bad during the current regime. Philadelphia is a good ball club. They came out with a great game plan to counter our speedy defense. They took great advantage of their opportunities....especially the wind in the first qtr. I can tip my hat to the Eagles and know the Falcons are a better team than was on display last Sunday. Putting too much credence in that one game doesn't make sense. We're still atop the division and the conference. I'll take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It doesn't excuse last week (there's a difference between losing a hard-fought game on the road and being pummeled on the road), but I can't pretend that that information isn't at least a little calming. Thanks for the research! My sentiments exactly!However, I'm over it (kind of) and ready for a win this week against Cincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Us being .500 on the road and already halfway done with this season's road games makes me feel worlds better! Thanks, I needed that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.F.W.O. Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 There is a saying that goes:Win your home games and steal a couple on the road, your most likely to get in the playoffs.With that said, we need to be very loud this sunday because the NFL wont let the Defense hit no more :wacko: [/sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
