Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles Open Thread

The door hinges on this one like a season. Wait, I got that wrong.
For those of you who want nothing more than to see the Falcons get to nine wins this season, this is an important game. For those of you who have your hearts set on a playoff berth, this is critical. Either way, a win against the Eagles would go a long way toward achieving the goal you hold most dear.
It'll be an uphill challenge, as we've noted repeatedly this week. Teams missing their top quarterback and running back, potentially their second best receiver and a couple o' offensive linemen don't regularly win games in this league. Let's hope the Falcons buck that trend.
Onward and upward, then!
Who? Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 1 p.m. EST
Where? Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Weather? It's snowing up here in New Hampshire as I type this, but somehow I don't think you'll get much weather at all at the stadium. Call me crazy.
Injuries? Matt Ryan is out and Michael Turner is questionable, despite the fact that he's virtually a lock not to play. Sam Baker and Harvey Dahl are both questionable, but Dahl didn't practice Friday and who knows with Baker. Roddy White, Curtis Lofton and Brian Finneran are all expected to play, but Michael Jenkins is questionable in the truest sense of the word. If he doesn't play, the Falcons have once again brought Troy Bergeron back onto the active roster.
The Iggles are missing WR DeSean Jackson, RB Brian Westbrook, WR Kevin Curtis, and LB Akeem Jordan, and have a host of probables and questionables. Those are some serious weapons, as well, so their offense doesn't figure to be quite as potent as usual.
Odds? Philly over Atlanta 5.5, O/U 43.5
Foe? Go visit our friends over at Bleeding Green Nation for all things Eagles.
GO FALCONS! Let's pluck these Eagles!

HOTlanta!!!
its not the size of the dog in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog!! wait, maybe i should say something different with ole number 7 back
Still, I wish Nick was here

This game will be a huge challenge without Mr Jenks, Ryan, Burner, and probably Dahl out.
Norwood White Lofton, Baker, and Coleman are not 100 % either.
We also have a new kicker and snapper who have only had a few days to practice together.
But I think Atlanta will rise to the challenge and win a close game 24 to 23.
I expect big games from :
Gonzo
Lofton
Abe
Beerman
Norwood
White
Red Bird
DeCoud
Nickolas
Ovie
Zelenka
Freddie Falcon
I don't know about Freddie ...
His routes haven’t been very sharp lately, and I’ve heard that his off-the-field antics are becoming problematic.
Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?
Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.

We USED to have a real, trained Falcon fly around the old Atlanta Stadium before Falcons games! Not sure why they stopped that practice. There’s probably an interesting or tragic story there.

…with all six hands. I don’t foresee a beneficial outcome, but I’ll be here for every play.
Missing our key offensive players coupled with the Eagles’ offensive system’s ability to take advantage of the Falcons’ defensive weaknesses means we could lose this game by over 100 points.
Sorry, I left my optimism in my other pants. PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!

As long as the secondary plays with their backs to the ball...

Redman, 2 of 11 for 58 yards.
Somebody must have kept Redman up last night. This is ugly.
Gamecast has also informed me that PHI’s top 3 receivers have longs of 59, 56, and 21 yards. We might as well start linebackers instead of DBs.
Somebody should tell Redman that he’s playin a football game right now, else he’s gonna get benched.
I gotta say, if we don’t score here, I’m going to get my paper bag.

On 4th down, we should let MVP Koenen play QB. maybe he’ll throw a hail mary and the PHI defense will all fall down by some sheer miracle and the ball with levitate into Roddy’s hands.

If ye runneth a play, and it does not succeed, you may runneth the same play a second time. However, if the play ye runneth doth not work a second time, thou shalt not runneth the same play a third time.
We severely broke that commandment by running the same play a fourth time, and look what happened. we got zero points.

Vick TD
Eagles fan here…Falcons fans, you’ve got several key players out so it is understandable the offense is going to have problems. As for the Vick TD, yeah I think he was stuck in there because it is the Falcons but the Eagles have been bad on short yardage for a few years now particularly on the goal line so it wasn’t a total shock they ran Vick in that situation.
Thanks for dropping by
Appreciate the input.

ugh
Redman had the whole week to practice and looks this bad god come on i actually liked u now im starting to hate you
I pin so much of this on the coaches and their planning
It’s gotten to the point that it’s impossible to ignore how we never bring any pressure or seem to be covering a receiver closely enough, or how we run the same vanilla plays over and over until we turn to a trick play that doesn’t work.

GO FALCONS!!!
wish Vick was in actually
Vick was the only entertaining thing left about this game. Plus, if he looks good, maybe someone in the NFC picks him up and we get to sit back and laugh while they suffer trying to figure out how to make a real quarterback out of him.

This is a bad dream. I’m going to wake up and life will be wonderful again.

I think Dave should Rickroll us.
Theme of the season, no doubt.

Actually
I had a dream the end score was 34-14. So it’s slightly worse.
Maybe we'll score 14 here....

Actually I like this more
Because the Ryan doubters will no doubt stop their…whining, to put it mildly.
no.
because then i’d believe we could win again.
now I don’t know if winning exists.

A reception by Marty Booker?
You mean there’s someone else on our offense besides Roddy White? Oh snap! We might win now.

Maybe we can get a touchdown here.
I’ll take pity sex, if it’s all there is.

Oh the irony
Michael Vick has sucked all season but guess who is Yahoo sports top performer for the Eagles? Non other than MV7 with
2-2 48 yds passing and 1 td
and 4 Rush, 17 yds, 1 TD
Its like the old times at the Georgia Dome with Vick

I wonder what would go through Matty's mind
When he inevitably has to go and shake his hand
by da fatchick thrilla on Dec 6, 2009 3:57 PM EST up reply actions
since he wasn't really a part of that
it would be like shaking any other player’s hand, to him imo.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
Hand him a $20.
THat’d piss him off.

Look, we're driving!
And only after the Eagles gave pads to the remaining fans!
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
maybe they should have told our offence
that we’re down by 4 with 2 mins to go from the kickoff time
Cheers to everyone sticking around watching the game and continuing to comment
you have a high threshold for pain. Let no one question your loyalty.
Trip #2 into the red zone.
We’re 0 for 1 so far.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
Also, if 4th down comes
please kick it. 3 points is all i ask.

I hope the people that were dogging
Matt Ryan realize how much he means to our offense. The kid is the soul of the offense and this would not have happened with him playing.
And the I’ll say it again, the “falcons” fans that were cheering that lying dog killer are a disgrace and not real fans. We just left the game and I feel like I did back in 07. I just pray that Matt can make it back for the last 3 games to save our season.

Well, good game Eagles, I guess.
I can’t believe the Saints won 8 games last year going through this. Props to them.

Its official
The Falcons suck again… so much for back to back winning seasons. I blame this on whoever it was at the beginning of the season who said that we would have a lot more injuries this year since we didnt really have many last year. At the time I told them that was hogwash (to put it nicely) but as it turns out they were right.
maybe I am just very ticked off right now, but this really sux.
Life is a garden. Dig it!
