RHEC Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Ugh....I hate the Dream Team nickname. Jeffery Lurie said it best, the only "Dream Team" is the Green Bay Packers.I bet the heat fans hate it now too I bet.Of course, but it's not like the Eagles players are strutting around thinking they're top dawgs. Last time I checked the 'dream team' was full of players who had championships, sure the Eagles have players here and there with rings but none wearing a wing on their helmet. The media aka 'ESPN' will dog them when they lose and pick apart their wins..there are no bad wins in the NFL, it's hard to win in the NFL and I think the Birds have a realistic shot to be in the mix late in the season.This is how Espn works: Falcons win, they talk about what Eagles did wrong, if Eagles win, they praise Vick.

Knight of God Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm not about to start talking noise until I see a "W" and not just for the sake of it...I mean a sure "W" with a beatdown attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philadelphia76 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I bet the heat fans hate it now too I bet.This is how Espn works: Falcons win, they talk about what Eagles did wrong, if Eagles win, they praise Vick.I didn't see much of praising Vick this past week, but I don't get into the media hype. ESPN is for entertainment, it's more entertaining to talk critically of a player then to praise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to always talk about him everyday apparently. He's up there with Tom "pretty boy" Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A SAINT in the ATL Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 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. now this is crazy..........

Peyton Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 If I were an Eagles fan, I am pretty sure I would expect the Eagles to beat down the Falcons Sunday night. I wouldn't see any reason to feel any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philadelphia76 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I doubt theres any "How do we slow down/stop matt ryan" threads.No, but I'm concerned about Michael Turner for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. 0-2 aka Top Ramen Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 No, but I'm concerned about Michael Turner for sure.Honestly I see Snelling playing as big of a role as Turner. They should both put up some pretty big numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Martyr Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Falcons can beat anyone in the dome. As long as both sides show up, we have a legit chance of beating anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Man™ Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 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.#1. Impressive stats or not, the Eagles won that game last week. I'll take a W over good stats any day.#2. Falcons have a TON of tape on Vick? Every other team in the league has JUST AS MUCH TAPE (including the Rams), so I don't get your point with that statement.#3. You are only concerned about Mcoy and Vick when our secondary was average at best last week? You do realize they have some VERY fast and talented receivers right?
