What Do The Philly Fans Think About Sunday's Game?

[BirdzEyeView]

Here are a few posts from Philly fans:

http://boards.philad...e-atlanta-game/

"I hope they are pissed off, that sorry D is about to get pissed on this week. I must say I am excited to see what we can do against Turner, Julio and White, though. Our D has an opportunity to impress this week with 3 legit offensive weapons to face (assuming Julio Jones is actually legit). Lets hope they come through. "

"Atlanta was 8-0 at home last year I believe. That said the DLine got a ton of pressure last week only rushing four. Hopefuly that'll be a luxury we have all year. I think Ryan's going to be in the same trouble he was vs. Chicago. Birds big same as last year. 31-17. "

"I think the Falcons will definitely come harder in this game than they did week 1.

That being said, I dont have a great deal of respect for their secondary, the offensive line, or Matty Ice against our D.

They will have to be PERFECT with Gonzalez, White, Jones, and Turner to beat the Eagles, and Vick and Reid have to be totally outplayed and coached respectively. Not saying Atlanta isnt capable, but if they couldnt do it the past couple of years, it definitely doesnt look good this year.

Eagles by 10, only because they are mad and will make it tough LOL."

My early prediction would be 27-17 Eagles. The Falcons are going to play hard, because 0-2 would lead to some serious questions. However, I think the Falcons are a very overrated team. I think the Eagles are just more talented and even with a good effort I expect the Eagles to make more plays.

BINGO!!!

ATL is clearly not as good as advertised and motivated from a beat down or not they aren't on our level.

Seeing how Cam played yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if ATL ends up in the basement of that division

All that said

Eagles - Too Much (34)

Falcons - Not Enough (16)

To say I'm JACKED UP, for this game would be a MAJOR understatement...We owe those overconfident pricks a PREMIUM can of "WHOOP A$$"!!

Sound off Fellow Falcons Fans....

Everybody seems to think this will be an easy win for the Eagles. They've got another thing comin if they think Vick will come in and take over Ryan's dome. Yes, I said it. Ryan's Dome, Abe will show him the way out.

[Sun Tzu 7]

We owed them big time last year too... And were completely outcoached.

I'm sorry but after the last few games I just don't expect our DC to come up with any kind of effective scheme to slow down the Eagles offense... But I'm sure he'll have a nice excuse blaming the players... Just like Petrino would do.

[Sidious]

Too bad we can't put the New England offense in our uniforms for just 1 game.

[FalconMama]

Honestly if I was a Eagle fan I wouldn't be too worried about this game either lmao.. But we can definitely pull off an upset Sunday night.

[Guest JoeSr]

I want us to win this game so bad. . . . I do not even know what to do with myself.

[Tribal Chief]

Go over to their boards and post this. F the Iggles and their entire fan base.

[falconsfan84]

I'm surprised the posts were as civil as they were considering they are Eagles fans..

How is it an upset when many experts picked the Falcons to go to the Super Bowl this year? Plus, we are at home, and the Falcons don't loose at home, it would be more of an upset if the Falcons loose.

[vel]

I won't say anything. Let them bask in the light with a win over the Rams and be the media darlings. I'll just wait for game day.

Indeed we do. Eagles fans have a bad reputation that the vast majority of them have fully earned.

Falcons are 2.5 point underdogs.

[BankerBird™]

Falcons are 2.5 point underdogs.

That's all? Only 2.5?

[falconsfan84]

That's all? Only 2.5?

+3 is given to the home team, correct? So on a neutral field, the Falcons would be 5.5 point underdogs.

Vick threw 32 times against the Rams and only had 187 yards. The Rams defense also sacked vick 3 times and had 11 QB hits. The Rams threw 36 times and that "All-Madden" secondary of the Eagles didn't have any INT's.

I didn't watch the game, but the stats do not look impressive for a Dream Team type defense. The only two things that worry me about the Eagles are: McCoy and Vick running. Vick throwing isn't that scary and the Falcons have a TON of tape on him. If Atlanta can get pressure on Vick early, and lay a monster hit on him, I think the Falcons win this one. Let's hope Vick finds some old friends when he lands in Atlanta, and lets hope those old friends have a nice new 6 foot bong.

Well thats the thing, stats can be very deceiving. And we need to keep in mind that this isn't fantasy football. so why you may not be impressed with Vick's stats and the Defense, they were still able to put up 31 point with two td passes from Vick and a defensive score from their front four. Now if that is just mediocre play for the the Eagles adn they can still score like that, then the Falcons really need to be on their P's and Q's and not let Vick get into all madden mode like he did against the Redskins and at the end of the gam where they came back to beat the Giants after being dow three touchdowns going into the forth quarter. And this is prime ground for Vick to return to that form, he is back in ATL, it's a prime time game, and he knows everybody will be watching.

He also left out the fact that he had 100 yards rushing to so that's 287 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also was 7-8 on 3rd down conversions as well so he was efficient in that since. Dude doesn't know what he's talking about.

@back4the1sttime - The Bears offense scored 30 points on us with mediocre play from their offense. Their defense played outstanding and Matt Ryan compounded it by being out of his game. I don't see the same defense from the Eagles. They are very weak up the middle. Past Patterson and Jenkins, the LBs and Safeties are the weak spot of that defense. I think Hawley and Reynolds will be ready this game after a real welcome to the NFL from Melton and Okoye. They struggled with who to block. The thing they need to focus on is staying a unit as the front 3 until it is totally clear to help the tackles. Reynolds struggles with this having converted from OT to OG.

I think Grimes is going to have a big game. Vick likes to try and stick things in to very small windows. If our safeties stay over top, Grimes will have some opportunities. Just look at the Rams highlights. Vick threw some dumb passes that the Rams couldn't capitalize on. We know Grimes will make you pay.

A little off topic. But I am glad the falcons came off a big loss. and I'm even more glad that there are so many people on this message board (fan or not) putting the falcons down. I hope it pisses them off and they go out there to not only shut the freaking eagles up but to also shut up over half of this message board.

When ever I know we have a big game to play, in almost a sad way I kinda hope we lose the week before the major game. cause in the past when ever we have lost our deffense has came in to prove something.

plus to add we are at home and

so come on falcon fans and rise up and take the chicago as an unaswered prayer or a blessing in disguise

[Philadelphia76]

Funny how you pick and choose, of course there are going to be over confident cocky fans...lets see some others from the other side of the spectrum

Can't judge Jones, young kid practiced on turf then played his first game on grass, but he looked like one of those guys who'll never play up to his measurables, he plays more like a big 4.50 WR who doesn't have Bryant's type of body control, more a physical slant runner, like you say, a solid #2 in a year or so once he learns what he's doing.

Problem is I think White and Gonzo have slipped considerably, and Jones isn't going to provide a lot more than Jenkins as a rookie. And Turner has had two physically punishing seasons out of the last three (averaging 20+ carries), with his style of running that has to wear him down. Plus losing Dahl hurts a solid run blocking unit while they were never good pass blockers. Baker and Clabo are mediocre as pass blocking OTs, they depended on play action to keep the pressure off Ryan.

They just seem to match up better against physical teams that don't have explosive offenses. ''

This is going to be a tough game to win. If Cadilac Williams went for 90 yards I wonder what Turner will get. Should be a close game. Atlanta is a good home team also and also desperate for win. We're on the road for back to back weeks and the whole Vick thing going on in Atlanta. I feel like the football Gods will be on the Falcons side. Hope I'm wrong though

Falcons 31

Eagles 21 ''

Last week it was Jackson.

This week it's Turner. The guy is a good runner inside, so something must be done to stop that.

Eagles Win 44-27

I am really looking forward to see how are CB's matchup with Roddy White and Julio Jones.

Big WR's and Power RB.

But what scares me is the old dude, Tony Gonzales. I have a feeling he will keep the chains moving for the Falcons.

eagles win(biased eagles fan duh)

but the holes on defense concern me. im sure the falcons will be able to exploit us and then we need get serious about making some trade moves.

Eagles 31-28 Close game. Why, we have Mike Vick and its Atlanta. He will showcase...

unfortunaltey its gonna be tough because the falcons should be pissed after this las week... i hope we can handle it

it depends who gets the early lead!

if the Falcons get the early lead, Turner will drag our LBs all day and will dominate the clock

As much as it pains me to say this, I think Sunday's game will go to the Falcons. Coming off that embarrassing lost this past Sunday will make them beyond hungry for a win this week. Not to mention that Vick is returning "home" and the Falcons are a pretty good home team and want to welcome him back with a W. I just PRAY TO GOD that NO ONE IS INJURED...NO ONE!!! :unsure:

Honestly, I don't care if Vick puts on the greatest show of all-time for his fans and all the highlight enthusiast...He can rush AND throw for 300 yards each, if he wishes.

ALL I care about is that we end up with MORE POINTS than them at the end of the game on Sunday Night...Period!!

I can guarantee ONE thing...DeSean Jackson will think TWICE before coming across the middle at full speed again. Can you say Dante Robinson??? I'm SURE he remembers....or....maybe not!

[kane#7]

It all starts with the Oline... which I don't like.

[bossFALCON™]

i think the rest of the team will step up this week and ryan will play better. whether they admit it or not i really think our team wants to go out there and get this game for matt.
