And So It Begins

Posted: September 14th, 2015 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 921 Comments »

Kickoff is just a few minutes away.

The inactives are:

QB Stephen Morris
RB Kenjon Barner
OL Dennis Kelly
OL Josh Andrews
DL Brandon Bair
LB Marcus Smith
DB Denzel Rice

The big news is that TE Zach Ertz will play. He got hurt about 4 weeks ago so this is a quick return. I’m sure the team will be judicious with how they use him.

I wrote a game preview for PE.com, also with some insights on the season.

The Eagles are the better team, but dealing with the Falcons WRs is going to be a challenge. Will the Eagles mix in E.J Biggers or Eric Rowe in the Nickel look?

It will be interesting to see if Bill Davis focused more on coverage or pressure. If the front 4 can bring the heat, that will make a huge difference.

I’m feeling good, but that has me nervous.

Go Eagles!!!

    I’m excited and nervous. New coaching staff in Atlanta, I fully expect some surprises on both sides of the ball.

    I’m also happy that Tyler Hart will get on the field, and disappointed that Marcus Smith is out tonight.

    I think we won the super bowl with our active player lineup

  3. 3 sonofdman said at 6:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m so excited! I’m even starting to dig Bradford’s sleeves! I might be losing my mind. Start the game already.

  4. 4 xmbk said at 6:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Front 7.

    Being nervous just means you’re an Eagles fan.

  5. 5 P_P_K said at 6:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Eagles 34-24.

  6. 6 Fufina said at 6:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    45-24 with Falcons getting 2 Td’s late to make it respectable as we try to not give up big plays and proceed to let them move down the field with ease for the first time all game.

  7. 7 Michael Winter Cho said at 6:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Double digit win, I think!

    Eagles win 36-26…think the game stays relatively close

  10. 10 OregonDucker said at 6:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Blitz the heck out of Matty. Attack the bootleg and shadow Julio. Destroy the Falcons’ will to play. 42-17 Go Eagles!

  11. 11 Corry said at 6:54 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Oh thank God, the ESPN analysts aren’t ALL picking the Eagles tonight.

    Might as well… Does Keyshawn even count?

  13. 13 Corry said at 6:58 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Not usually, but you know it’s bad luck when they all pick the same team.

    I love watching the eagles play. Hopefully suffering through a whole weekend w/out it will make the win even better.

  19. 19 Bob Brewer said at 7:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    More nervous for an opener in a while. I’m usually pretty down on this team but I really think they have a shot this year. Not used to optimism.

  20. 20 Greg Richards said at 7:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I always have a knot in my stomach before a game – it doesn’t matter how good the Eagles are or the quality of the opponent.

  21. 21 Corry said at 7:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I like it when I’m nervous about a game because when I’m confident we’ll win, we lose.

  22. 22 RC5000 said at 7:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    But what if you’re nervous about being too confident lol.

  23. 23 John Galt said at 7:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Kick it off already. Eagles 41-23

  24. 24 MattE said at 7:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    CC seems to think we will have 2-TE sets more often. Just so the first TE has a fallguy……. Hi Oh!!!!!!

    I predict 42+ on the Falcons. Seriously bullish on our O against their D.

    Stoked and ready to roll, lets put the league on notice!

  38. 38 SteveH said at 7:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Normally I’m nervous in an opener but I’m super confident tonight. I think the Eagles are ready, and we are far superior on both lines.

    Hm, same as last year there too 😉

  90. 90 SteveH said at 7:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Goddamnit, Jenkins still can’t catch interceptions lol.

  91. 91 BlindChow said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This time last year he would have caught that. Unfortunately he picked up right where he left off…

  92. 92 Bob Brewer said at 7:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Another drop by Jenkins, good grief.

  93. 93 Spooonius said at 7:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Should have been a pick 6.

  97. 97 BC1968 said at 7:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Jenkins still a little woozy lol

  98. 98 GEAGLE said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Probably, I’m surprised he didn’t need to sub for a play or two, he got destroyed

  99. 99 BC1968 said at 7:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yep, he at the very least stopped the 1st down.

  100. 100 Spooonius said at 7:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    yeah, that looked rough. he had his eyes on Ryan. I’ve never seen a more obvious example of not paying attention.

  101. 101 John Galt said at 7:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    10 point drop

  102. 102 Iskar36 said at 7:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Jenkin REALLY needs to improve his hands. So many dropped INTs.

  103. 103 Greg Richards said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’s why those guys aren’t receivers.

  104. 104 Iskar36 said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Lol, right. But the best corners have better hands.

  105. 105 Greg Richards said at 7:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’s why he’s a safety!

  106. 106 Iskar36 said at 7:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    haha. Right.

  107. 107 anon said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    thurmond would have got that.

  108. 108 SteveH said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Jenkins might be the 4th or 5th best safety in the league if he could hold onto interceptions.

  109. 109 wallacemnw said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Good evening ulcer!

  110. 110 Spooonius said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    so… the Falcons don’t look soft at this point. Hopefully we’ll start with a run this series.

  111. 111 anon said at 7:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    gotta see how game expresses itself. we’ll break the game once we understand tendencies.

  112. 112 OregonDucker said at 7:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Jenkins tried to catch with his body not hands. Darn.

  113. 113 Greg Richards said at 7:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maragos is coming in on nickel D with Thurmond shifting to nickel CB. Maragos is good against the run and moving forward, worry about him covering deep.

  114. 114 OregonDucker said at 7:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Thanks for the info.

  115. 115 GEAGLE said at 7:20 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Should have opened the season In 3 back pistol, No WRs, extra tackle in the game and ran the ball down their throat for the first 10 plays

    absolutely!!!!

  117. 117 GEAGLE said at 7:21 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  135. 135 GEAGLE said at 7:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Seeing your stadium covered in midnight green should give you some early game adrenaline if you are a falcon

  136. 136 FairOaks said at 7:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They have always been very tough at home, and this is the season opener. I was sort of hoping the crowd noise thing might take away some of that advantage, but they do have some talent.

  137. 137 GEAGLE said at 7:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Worst winning percentage in Monday night history, tho Ryan is 6-0 in openers.. One of the trends has to give

    safety from running backward into the end zone.

  154. 154 Dragon_Eagle said at 7:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Falcons are playing good defense and anticipating Eagles offense. Chip needs to adjust before this gets out of hand and we’re doing last year’s come from 17 points behind at half again. Ugh.

  155. 155 anon said at 7:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    eagles o is pretty simplistic. they’re really just klling our o-line.

  156. 156 Corry said at 7:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This is the problem with playing a whole new coaching staff. You don’t truly know what to expect. You can study tapes from their previous stop, but it’s going to be a bit different in their new place.

  157. 157 KAJomo said at 7:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Need to stop babying Bradford. Throw the ball down field to loosen up the run game

    We suck, let’s look to the draft

    How come the Falcons can do short quick passes but we cant?

    Giant WR.

  162. 162 Iskar36 said at 7:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I was talking to a friend before the game. I am not completely surprised we are coming out sloppy. Our starters didn’t exactly play a ton this preseason. We looked great while they were out there, but in a real game, it’s not completely surprising that they are not firing on all cylinders right away. The question is how quickly do they work it out of their system. I would expect it should happen soon, but that’s the trade off of being cautious with Bradford.

  163. 163 Greg Richards said at 7:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bullshit! Okay, not really.

  171. 171 KAJomo said at 7:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    We need to keep them to a FG. If they score a TD it puts a ton of pressure on this offense

    that little pass from Bradford is why he’s a real QB. Before the almost INT, of course.

  245. 245 Greg Richards said at 7:35 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Of course… Not to mention people have to understand that when you change so much personell your team will need to grow as the season unfolds.. We should be 5 times better in Novembder then we are today. With that said, we will still kick falcon ass tonight.

  262. 262 Iskar36 said at 7:39 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Definitely the trade off with playing the preseason cautiously. Given that we should be the better team to Atlanta, I think it was the right move, but the rust needs to get knocked off before Atlanta can build a lead.

    We dont play press. Thats a myth.

  456. 456 Spooonius said at 7:58 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I cringe when I see play action. I just hope that they run it everytime

  457. 457 BC1968 said at 7:59 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Play action, wtf

    Dont cover Julio makes sense

  469. 469 Iskar36 said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Pass D is looking nearly as bad as last year’s pass D so far. I expect a turn around, but I didn’t expect it to look this bad early.

  470. 470 LongDong said at 8:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They got rid of shady to improve the defense and the fucking defense is worse!! Bring back Boykin!!!

  471. 471 Greg Richards said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They need to make some awesome halftime adjustments.

    I believe a STFU is in order…

  475. 475 Avery Greene said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So when they win tonight, will you go away forever?

  476. 476 LongDong said at 7:09 AM on September 15th, 2015:

    Win?

  477. 477 DarthBanner said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  480. 480 DarthBanner said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Yeah, I thought our offense would be able to outscore a big fantasy day from Julio. Thanks Chip.

  481. 481 OregonDucker said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Fire Davis NOW!

  482. 482 GEAGLE said at 8:03 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Then chip should be on the electric chair for this offensive showing. Down 10 points relax. People act like they never seen a football game before. 1 play, changes everything

  483. 483 Avery Greene said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I don’t care what people say, Billy D is not making good calls tonight.

  484. 484 GEAGLE said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m watching offensive slop and holding them to 10 points on 5
    Drives and your beef is Billy?

  485. 485 Avery Greene said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    We keep playing single coverage on Julio. I don’t understand that. It also doesn’t seem like we’re playing much press.

  486. 486 Avery Greene said at 8:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I should say, I feel confident the offense will get on track. The defense has got to get better both upfront and in coverages.

  487. 487 shah8 said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    def see Kyle Shanahan from RGIII time with Ryan being RGIII, passing…

    Something has to be done with pass rush.

  488. 488 SteveH said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Thurmond with a stellar debut at safety.

  489. 489 oreofestar said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    im done guys I’ll come back to the game in a half hour I can’t watch this utter disgusting vile garbage on display

  490. 490 BC1968 said at 8:00 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Billy Davis doesn’t make adjustments.

  491. 491 FairOaks said at 8:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I hope he figures out the other team employs Julio Jones soon.

  492. 492 BobSmith77 said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  500. 500 Greg Richards said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You have to get pass rush. No pass rush and it doesn’t matter what the secondary does, a good QB and WR will beat them.

  501. 501 Jernst said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    agreed the pass rush is incredibly disappointing

  502. 502 sonofdman said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Agree. It is a little ridiculous to expect Maxwell or Carroll to be able to cover Jones with no pass rush.

  503. 503 Jernst said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maxwell looks slow as shit. He can’t keep up with a geriatric like Roddy White.

    Great…now there is going to be a lot of pressure on us to score points on this drive…which means a pick is coming since we can’t run the damn ball….

  507. 507 LongDong said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    BYRON MAXWELL is horrible. Exposed. Chip kelly exposed

  508. 508 BC1968 said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The rush defense isn’t a problem the play action though, it’s killing us. WTF

  509. 509 Jernst said at 8:03 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    they run play action on every pass basically. So pretty much the passing game along is killing us.

  510. 510 sonofdman said at 8:02 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    offense has got to step up. They are hanging the defense out to dry. Can’t keep Ryan and Julio out of the end zone forever

  511. 511 GEAGLE said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    How dare you make sense? Don’t you know the cool thing is to blame billy?

  512. 512 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Score fucking points!! What’s your plan?

  513. 513 Corry said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Apparently to throw on every play.

  514. 514 SteveH said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m gonna ask again, why are we rotating ILB’s? Just put Kiko and Kendricks out there all the time.

  515. 515 sonofdman said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Agree

  516. 516 wallacemnw said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Julio Jones on pace for 24 catches

  517. 517 ian_no_2 said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Julio Jones (11) and Josh Huff (13) both have a yards per catch matching their number. Huff just needs to work on the number of catches and touchdowns.

  518. 518 Greg Richards said at 8:04 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They really need to put the kickoff back to where it was before. Every kickoff is a touchback. Give the KRs a chance to make plays.

    Nice catch there by Matthews.

  525. 525 Corry said at 8:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ryan Mathews in.

  526. 526 BC1968 said at 8:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Wow, that’s something Foles couldn’t do.

  527. 527 sonofdman said at 8:06 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Foles would not have made that catch. Matthews is a way better receiver.

  528. 528 Corry said at 8:05 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ryan mathews in and being ignored just like Murray.

  529. 529 sonofdman said at 8:06 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ok let’s score so the crying can stop here.

  545. 545 A_T_G said at 8:07 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Watch the spot, but I think he got it.

  546. 546 Corry said at 8:07 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Look, on the bright side Bradford has been money on his passes. Our receivers have had a bad case of butterfingers.

  547. 547 SteveH said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    jinx

  548. 548 Corry said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I actually think that was on purpose…if Ertz turns around, he doesn’t get drilled as hard by the safety.

  549. 549 sonofdman said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    yeah bradford and ertz are not on the same page

  550. 550 Spooonius said at 8:07 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    why the stretch?

  551. 551 BC1968 said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This is red zone, gotta get this.

  552. 552 shah8 said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Receivers are not used to bullets from a real QB.

  553. 553 A Roy said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    What about the last #7? They aren’t all new. But a good point.

  554. 554 ConcussedFB said at 8:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You must have been crying into your Joe Webb pillow after the Seattle game.

  555. 555 GEAGLE said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Hopefully the safety just knocked the
    Rust off Ertz

  556. 556 sonofdman said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ertz and Bradford not on the same page yet

  557. 557 Spooonius said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    hopefully they get it together today.

  558. 558 Iskar36 said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’d love to see us be able to forget the bad redzone offense days…

  559. 559 Spooonius said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    looks like Matthews stopped running.

  560. 560 anon said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    ok 3 points…

  561. 561 Spooonius said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    please… thank you!

  562. 562 teltschikfakeout88 said at 8:08 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Pass to ertz was a TD…Bradford was off…..

  563. 563 Corry said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m not sure that he was. Safety was on the inside of Ertz. put it on the outside shoulder, Safety has no shot to get it, only Ertz does.

  564. 564 Spooonius said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    yeah… i don’t see where else he could have put that.

  565. 565 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Entire drive. One running play.

  566. 566 FairOaks said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I guess if you put 8 in the box against the Eagles that is what you are going to get. We need to start catching some of these open downfield throws I guess.

  567. 567 Greg Richards said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sometimes you have to run against 8 in the box and enforce your will

  568. 568 OregonDucker said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    We tried. Our asses got kicked.

  569. 569 Greg Richards said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Try again. This time, be the ass-kicker.

  570. 570 OregonDucker said at 8:12 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Put in Ryan Matthews.

  571. 571 OregonDucker said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It worked last year. We have to make the throws and catch.

  572. 572 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    But have our WRs looked open downfield?

  573. 573 FairOaks said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Austin sure was.

  574. 574 Spooonius said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I don’t have so much of a problem with it. If they had executed, it would have been a TD

  575. 575 BC1968 said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That was simple, now we have to finish that shit. Along with some defense adjustments.

  576. 576 GEAGLE said at 8:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Attaboy Cody, hold your follow thru like you just hit a jump shot!! I expect this kid to be money in the dome!

  577. 577 LongDong said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bring back the preseason eagles. We won the championship then.

  578. 578 BC1968 said at 8:10 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Shit, we have 18 new guys or something, let them get it together. Stop them here, score, tie at half. See how easy?

  579. 579 Spooonius said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sounds like a plan to me. start with this kickoff

  580. 580 DarthBanner said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Toast maxwell probably has to cover Julio first.

  581. 581 FairOaks said at 8:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    There are very very few CB who can cover Jones 1 on 1, especially if the QB has time. Maxwell is not one of them.

  582. 582 BlindChow said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Parkey had the right idea. You play the opposite of the real season in the preseason. Everyone else played too well.

  583. 583 Iskar36 said at 8:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    To be fair, he clearly isn’t a great offseason performer considering he effectively got cut last season (yes, he was traded, but that’s because he was not going to win the job)

  584. 584 xeynon said at 8:11 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This comment thread is hilarious. It starts out all “Da Bears” style boasting, “42-13”, “Iggles win big 38-17”, etc. then quickly morphs into “oh crap”, “we suck”, “who we gonna take in the draft next year?”, etc.

    Everyone needs to chill out on both ends of the stick. You should have expected a slow start with all the changes the team made, you should have expected the mediocre players we have starting on the OL to struggle when they went up against a real defense, and you should have expected Bradford to look much less effective when under pressure.

    Still time to turn it around, in this game and in the season. They’ll be 9-7 or 10-6 and a playoff team. Relax.

  585. 585 GEAGLE said at 8:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No doubt we win this game

  593. 593 SeanofDead said at 8:12 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    They gave Julio ten yards on that play too

  594. 594 Spooonius said at 8:13 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  607. 607 JoeBlow said at 8:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    that was key them getting nothing on first down

  608. 608 Spooonius said at 8:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    obvious block in the back. idiot.

  609. 609 A_T_G said at 8:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He probably wanted to see if the refs had flags.

  610. 610 Nelson ALGore said at 8:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    only against the Eagles lol

  611. 611 Spooonius said at 8:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    true. they missed a bunch of obvious holds on the last falcons possession

  612. 612 John Galt said at 8:14 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sooooooo bad there

  613. 613 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Oh, double stupid.

  614. 614 BC1968 said at 8:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    All those holding calls they missed and they get a touch to the back?

  615. 615 SteveH said at 8:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That was one of the most obvious blocks in the back I’ve seen.

  616. 616 BC1968 said at 8:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I know, along with the obvious 2 holding calls missed before that, I thought they could even it out and maybe not call it.

  617. 617 OregonDucker said at 8:16 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Desperation already.

  618. 618 BC1968 said at 8:15 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  621. 621 BC1968 said at 8:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Long drive here.

  622. 622 A_T_G said at 8:17 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    About 6:15 would be nice.

  623. 623 GEAGLE said at 8:18 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This game is costing me way too much money in pot. I literally have been smoking non stop since kickoff.. Can we turn this around so I can take a little break PLEASE!

    3rd and 1 and it’s an empty backfield. That hurts my soul.

  628. 628 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Chip Kelly can be an awful play caller. There, I said it.

  629. 629 shah8 said at 8:19 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Vinny as base DE.

  648. 648 scratcherk said at 8:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Cox should have had that. So sloppy tonight

  649. 649 Corry said at 8:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    C”mon ref, they’re blocking before the pass! dude just tried to wipe out Jenkins!

  650. 650 shah8 said at 8:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Demoralized.

  651. 651 Spooonius said at 8:22 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I’m only watching Julio for the rest of this possession.

  652. 652 scratcherk said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Great fucking defensive scheming billy

  653. 653 Corry said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Thurmond, missed tackle, again.

  654. 654 scratcherk said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    prob roughing

  655. 655 FairOaks said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Tough to blitz when Julio Jones is the hot read (and is open).

  656. 656 BlindChow said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Davis has Julio Jones on his fantasy team.

  657. 657 GEAGLE said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Turnover…who’s turn it is to ballhawk? Step up boys

  658. 658 anon said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That No. 11 sure is something, he must not have shown up on the scouting video.

  659. 659 BC1968 said at 8:23 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Wow a flag against them? What’s going on here?

  660. 660 anon said at 8:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    lots of holding

  661. 661 GEAGLE said at 8:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Either that, or Falcons have the best OL I ever seen

  662. 662 John Galt said at 8:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The clock shouldn’t start there…oh yeah we’re not in dallas

  663. 663 FairOaks said at 8:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The rules are different the last five minutes of the game.

  664. 664 BC1968 said at 8:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Gruden didn’t mind when our guys were getting held. Oh wait, he didn’t notice.

  665. 665 sonofdman said at 8:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Gruden hates pretty much any penalty ever called.

  666. 666 SteveH said at 8:24 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    False Start and Pass interference are our two best defenders this half. Gotta get them on the field more.

  667. 667 Iskar36 said at 8:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Might as well bring in Trash Can while we are at it.

  668. 668 Nelson ALGore said at 8:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    buying those jerseys too

    yep

  672. 672 Nelson ALGore said at 8:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Billy Davis must have started him on his fantasy team too

    why else leave him 1-1 so much

  673. 673 sonofdman said at 8:25 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Mine? Let me ask my wife!

  674. 674 BC1968 said at 8:26 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    We need a game turner like last year’s opener when Sproles took that 4th and 1 to the house and we rolled from there.

  675. 675 Greg Richards said at 8:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Falcons get ball to begin 2nd half too.

  676. 676 anon said at 8:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Maybe we need meco out there calling the D.

  677. 677 Lee Yan said at 8:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    why is demeco even playing. we need kiko in there

  678. 678 John Galt said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    He shouldn’t be playing

  679. 679 Nelson ALGore said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Def shouldn’t be in coverage

  680. 680 Corry said at 8:27 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Watching Demeco is sad.

  681. 681 DarthBanner said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    nice job on that timeout Chip.

  682. 682 FairOaks said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Well maybe it was.

  683. 683 Lewwyn said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    WHAT

  684. 684 Greg Richards said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This is just pathetic.

  685. 685 Lee Yan said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    why did we spend all this money on RBs when we dont run the ball

  686. 686 anon said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    forgot to spend it on guards

  687. 687 DarthBanner said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    pretty much. Sproles the leading rusher with zero.

  688. 688 Flyineagle45 said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Can’t run effectively when you’re behind

  689. 689 Corry said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    HEY! THURMOND MADE A TACKLE AND DIDN’T SLIDE OFF! YAY YOU!

  690. 690 DarthBanner said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Hey, defense! Look at that.

  691. 691 Iskar36 said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Ok…. that was impressive.

  692. 692 Spooonius said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    indeed. 3 is much better than 7.

  693. 693 anon said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

  694. 694 KAJomo said at 8:28 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    TFL….thankyou

  696. 696 Lewwyn said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I can’t believe we are not losing by more.

  697. 697 SteveH said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    If not for Kiko we’d be down 20-3 right now. That seems about right.

  698. 698 DarthBanner said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Still a minute left in the half, so our offense will give it back to the Falcons with about 45 seconds.

  699. 699 miked718 said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    For real!

  700. 700 SteveH said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Our ILB rotation is just bizarre, I don’t know why we’re putting ‘Meco out there at all. Just strange stuff.

  701. 701 Spooonius said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    he doesn’t seem ready.

  702. 702 Greg Richards said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    3rd and short, I could see. Otherwise….

  703. 703 BC1968 said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Game and comments say we’re getting killed, score doesn’t.

  704. 704 Corry said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Jobu has been happy with my offerings.

  705. 705 Spooonius said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You’ve got a busy halftime coming up

  706. 706 GEAGLE said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I shouldn’t have to listen to this chucky prick Gruden call our games when the fucker spent all offseason tutoring the starting QB of our rival (kurt cousin) skins to circumvent the rules of his brother the HEADCoach not being allowed to train the players at certain points of the offseason.. Conflict of interests get this prick off the broadcast

  707. 707 Avery Greene said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    True.

  708. 708 Nelson ALGore said at 8:29 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    the fact that i just noticed thurman is probably a good thing right

  709. 709 Corry said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    he’s been missing tackles all night.

  710. 710 SteveH said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Well he whiffed on Julio’s TD. You probably missed him because he was the blur flailing onto the ground as Julio ran by.

  711. 711 Nelson ALGore said at 9:09 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    made it right I think now right?

  712. 712 Lee Yan said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    get demeco out of there

  713. 713 KAJomo said at 8:30 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    So…. as awesome as the Kiko Alonso INT was, is anyone going to admit that had Matt Ryan thrown even a slightly better ball, that would have been an easy TD?

  730. 730 Mitchell said at 8:32 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bill put a 60mil corner on the #1’WR.. At some point playërs gotta play. If you can’t put Maxwell on him you are a fool for paying him

  785. 785 xeynon said at 8:37 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Correction: Bill put a corner who’s getting paid $60 million on the #1 WR. Quality-wise, Maxwell is not a $60 million corner.

  828. 828 shah8 said at 8:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Watching this game…frankly, Chip Kelly’s offense is not truly viable without a serious rushing threat at QB.

    Period.

    Not to mention Kelly’s allergy to prima donnas.

  829. 829 anon said at 8:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Chip played fast and loose w/ the OL, biting him in the ass

  830. 830 xeynon said at 8:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This is stupid.

    Kelly’s offense was one of the best in the league two years ago and middle of the pack last year without a serious rushing threat at QB. And that was with QBs who are not as good as pure passers as Bradford.

  831. 831 DarthBanner said at 8:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Or, as other coaches get tape on it, the offense is easily defendable.

  832. 832 FairOaks said at 8:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Without an OL there aren’t many offenses that will work. At the moment, the Mathis decision might be the bad one, but maybe it can get better over the season.

  833. 833 xeynon said at 8:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This.

  834. 834 shah8 said at 8:41 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    The counter edge *has* to be kept in the play by the QB to make the spread effect neater. Without it, you keep having more clutter in the short passing parts of the offense. You also make it a little harder on the RB.

  835. 835 Allen3000 said at 8:40 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    This team is woefully unprepared. What a deflating feeling. We made the Falcons D look like the 85 Bears. Ugh.

  852. 852 kevinlied said at 8:44 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It was hot garbage. Though not as hot or garbage-y as last year’s champs looked against the Chiefs. Might be an aberration. Might be the first of many bad halves. Who knows?

  853. 853 BC1968 said at 8:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    It’s a very sane thought. Not time to panic

  854. 854 LongDong said at 8:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    What about a first half in preseason?

  855. 855 xeynon said at 8:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You’re right. Everyone who got excited by the first half against the Packers needs to simmer down.

  856. 856 kevinlied said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Sure. That was an overreaction too.

  857. 857 Iskar36 said at 8:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Well, as much as the preseason validated every one of Chip Kelly’s moves, the first half of this game has directly emphasized the concerns fans had with the offseason moves.

    Running backs have done nothing. Offensive line playing like crap, particularly at guard. Bradford looks rusty. Maxwell getting beat…often. Thurman not looking good. Kiko had a great INT, but also negated a fumble with a penalty and would have been badly beaten had the pass rush not gotten there. Also, on the iNT, he was actually beaten and Ryan under threw what should have been an easy TD.

  858. 858 GEAGLE said at 8:43 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Lol 1 game doesn’t NOT validate them.,, 1 half at that… GTFO here, sound just as silly as those pumping up the preseason

  859. 859 Iskar36 said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I think you are misreading my comment. I am certainly not saying the verdict is out. I’m just pointing out that the concerns fans had with some of the moves have appeared in this game. Yes, this is an extremely small sample and things will change as the season progresses, but all the hype from the preseason was based on Chip’s moves looking like they worked out wonderfully. In approximately the same amount of game time for the starters, we have seen the exact opposite outcome so far. Emphasis on SO FAR.

  860. 860 GEAGLE said at 8:42 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    offense needs to get its shit together and help the Defense out… And ST needs to get its head out its ass and make a play, especially since their punter keeps out kicking his coverage… Get it together

  861. 861 Jernst said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    You still not worried about this offensive line? It was so obvious that you can’t just replace probowlers with your 2nd and 3rd string guards, add no one else and be just fine. This offensive line sucks.

  862. 862 GEAGLE said at 8:46 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    No,…one half will NEVER worry me.. I don’t view footbakl games as these imaginary picnics.. Shit gets ugly, and this team has 38 new players, aka a work in progress. 1 half, 1 game will NEVER concern me,.. I don’t plan on losing this game. Dead serious

  863. 863 Jernst said at 8:53 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    me neither…just asking. Because even though I think we’ll get it together and quickly, I am so against the handling of the guard position this year that I can barely see through my rage.

    it should have been obvious to everyone that replacing a probowler and a solid veteran (i know he was on broken at this point and needed to be replaced…just not with Gardner), with your 2nd string guard and some scrub and just have a great offensive line.

  883. 883 DarthBanner said at 8:45 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Bradford looks fine when he gets time. Mathis situation was stupid, trading Boykin was stupid, not addressing the imminent departure of Herremans was stupid, McCoy for Kiko was a steal though. Maxwell is just being misused. He can’t run all over the field, that’s clear as day every time old man Roddy runs away from him on a deep crossing pattern.

    it’s the oline and billy d – maxwell is not a cb that roams the field

  890. 890 Jernst said at 8:49 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    great in cover 3, not fast enough to run across the field with a 34 year old with knees that crick and creek worse than the tin man.

    Stupid should have gave Evan Mathis his $$ he needs to stop watching Jonah hill play money ball #powerback2howie

    Not surprised Maxwell getting beat, i’m sure DQ knows all of Maxwells limitations, speed seems to be one of them.

  893. 893 Dragon_Eagle said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Easy. Even Revis in his prime would struggle to cover Julio one-on-one all game. Failing to give him safety help is on Billy D.

    Good point.

    The OL looked like shit in Week 1 last year even before the injuries.

    maxwell can’t match up with jones and white, this isn’t good

  898. 898 Jernst said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    no one can match up with jones. So that I get. Roddy should not be easily out running a CB getting paid $12mil per year.

    the antidote is pass rush and we don’t have one. at all

  900. 900 Jernst said at 9:01 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    very true. We don’t have a Demarcus Ware like stud edge rusher though, we always depended on confusion from Billy D to get a rush, seems like our plan coming in was to dominate a crappy oline with a 4 man rush and that didnt work. I guess they collect pay checks too. First play was a CB blitz, which let’s me know Davis learned something at half time.

    Wait, I heard someone say 38-20 Eagles. So you’re saying there’s a chance?

    I don’t drink anymore, does anyone know any household products that will ease my pain?

  903. 903 SteveH said at 8:48 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Draino… but there’s actually a lot of pain with that one before the easing part comes in.

  904. 904 BC1968 said at 8:49 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’s funny, that’s the first thing that came to my mind.

  905. 905 Avery Greene said at 8:49 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Well I’m about to pour the first one and log for a bit.

  906. 906 kevinlied said at 8:49 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Is Vicodin a household product?

  907. 907 BC1968 said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    I could break my foot and go to the ER and make it one.

  908. 908 SteveH said at 8:50 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Just take a lot of Nyquill. You’ll be out fast and won’t remember the game tomorrow.

  909. 909 BC1968 said at 8:52 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    That’s should be their slogan.

    Demarco Murray 4 carries for -4 yards, Ryan Mathews 0 carries. Bradford 27 passes.

    ANDY REID IS CONTROLLING CHIPS MIND!!

  915. 915 scratcherk said at 8:51 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    Seems like ATL D is playing its runstuffers and daring chip to throw. He is acquiescing.

  916. 916 anon said at 8:52 PM on September 14th, 2015:

    pass rush is crushing Sammy B, he’s a statute in the pocket. sanchez moves MUCH better opening up throwing lanes, etc.
