I just feel the lack of blitzes gives opponents too much cushion in the pocket. But the result is usually check downs. We don’t give up many big plays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falconut1991 360 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm not sure how I feel about it, yet. I was hoping for a little more from the offense this preseason, to make me feel more comfortable about the season. The defense tends to start slow & even though the Eagles tend to start a little slow too, they also seem to do doughboy win their ugly games. I pumped for the game, just not sure what we'll get from the offense. Just hoping it's a better game plan than last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
citsalp 1,593 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The Eagles are without there best WR, and there #4 WR. Expect to see lot's of two TE sets on there part. The are gonna try and run the ball down our throat. It's imperative our OF scores ponts (TD's) So the Eagles will be forced to pass. Good luck with that on our secondary, without your #1 WR, and #1 QB. Falcons 24- Eagles 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HotLantaFalcon 943 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I don't like that it looks like we still have drop issues so I'm sure that will play some role in the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we lose tho I wouldn’t be upset. We started the 2016 season 0-1. AT HOME! A road loss to the SB champs wouldn’t hurt me as long as we made it as competitive as the playoff game against them. In other words if we lose but had opportunities to win and fell short in ok. If we stink it up I’m concerned. My feelings to a "T". No shame losing to the world champs on their home field. But if we look sloppy, have stupid penalties and settle for FG's in the Red Zone, etc. I ain't gonna be a happy camper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's important to get off to a good start to set the tone for the season. The back end of our schedule is mostly on the road so we have to get off to a good start.

Yea, losing against the defending world champs in their house isn't that big of deal in the long run, unless we just completely crap the bed and pull a "Falcon"...then I might call for a revolution!

I challenge you to find one publication that has the Falcons Oline rated that low. Most have them at least top five. I could be wrong but I believe your spreading misinformation. Even PFF has us at number 3 Behind Phi, and Dallas but what do they know lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's not been much evidence of it, so I don't really know what to expect. Just like to hear what other Fans think going into this game. Rhonda Rousey had nothing to fear when she walked into the ring with Holly Holm.... Then she got her wig peeled back. A- There not healthy B- Their missing numerous starters C- We will set the tone early. We win by 10+ if we keep them under 100yds rushing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GET-ME-A-DB-TD 763 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 THIS--If I see Poole matches up on Ertz one time I may have a stroke. Either put Debo/Campbell in him or put Kazee on him and for the love of God somebody cover the RB every freakin play. Take away Ertz and Ajai and we will win Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kiwifalcon 19,747 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 How do I feel about it well I'm for ******** happy it's football for real that's for sure.

PHALCONABERNATHY 2,231 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Not that it will happen but I’d love to see mistake free football on all three phases. I’m nervous and don’t feel good about it honestly but I do trust the defense to do it’s job and if they make plays like I expect them too, the O is more than capable of scoring points on any defense. So all of that taken into account looks like a dub. But what do I know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
