    Did you see them last night? Way to early to be making statements like that.

    They didn't look bad at all, both lines were dominant and when the offense had to get going they absolutely cruised. Romo looked excellent and got an armchair ride from his pass protection. I agree it's too early for those statements but they've picked up right where they left off.

    Murray running from the shotgun has looked very ill thought out, better hope they can make some big adjustments at HT or this is only going to get worse for the Eagles. Falcons showing a lot of passion and looking pretty good out there

    i mean we struggled against the jags in game 1 last year and blew them up in the second half so i guess that could be a thing :mad:

    This is the game where the Giants threw it away right?? That one... the one where the cowboys made numerous mistakes and lost their best player for 4-6 weeks... i think we watched a different game.

    Which was the new NFC West which was the new NFC East, if memory serves. So it's all coming full circle, apart from one pesky small town team in the NFC North who keep breaking the perfect cycle!






















    Yeah, that's right... I'm looking at YOU, Chicago! :mad:

    They made 3 mistakes no team makes on a consistent basis that gifted a lead to the Giants. They won't make those every week. Even the commentators were astonished for the Giants to be leading at half time. Dez is a loss but they managed to go 72 yards in 87 seconds without him to win the game. If they protect as well as they did last night they'll cope.

    Maxwell is confirming what everyone knew before tonight also, aka, seriously overpaid for him (this pleases me)

    Odds on Bradford being benched?

    Yeah but everyone knows they overpaid, even the Eagles brass knew it. They needed the upgrade at CB tho so had to do it. Its not the kind of contract that will stop them keeping players etc so its not that bad.

    Also in fairness who can cover Julio one on one... how can we be calling these plays...

    Bad play calls + awful awful execution = this.

    Falcons up 17 at the half and yet that still seems kind to the Eagles.

    Chip Kelly would want to have a very quick re-think about how he's utilising the run game, specifically Murray. He had 4 carries in that half. 4! What is the point in paying the sort of money they did for him and then not give him the ball?

    Yup it makes no sense... Chip has done this before and had the same results. We're a great O when we establish the run but this is easy for the Falcons. They can establish pressure as its obvious.

    Murray is a work horse, he should be given the ball a hell of a lot more in the second half, but he would be far more effective in the I formation imho.

    I'd take a good performance at this stage

    Yeah its ridic unlikely but if we can get it back to 3 points doubt could creep into the falcons minds. Still no idea how we'll stop Julio. Not leaving Maxwell on an island would be a good start tho.

    Big stop and then the punter nails a 62 yarder. Eagles need a good drive here.

    Matt Ryan with a shocking start to the second half. Bradford and co still have to show they can put a drive together, but the early score at least keeps the playbook open for the Eagles, as opposed to being forced to pass.
