Seem to work out for us pretty well then.... Nah. Don't tempt fate. Don't need others doing the same in our forum. Besides, they'll come in here eventually.

Got a TD with 3 minutes left to go up by 10 instead of 3 with the eagles turning it over on downs with 48 seconds left on their 24 yard line. Player of the game Matt Ryan 22 for 32 297 yards 2 TD's 0 int's and 13 cups of gatorade. Is that really all you scored playing Madden with the Falcons Offense? Shame on you!?

We'll tell you all about how to secure a win against New England. Nah, but seriously, if you wanna talk about the game drop by here, it seems there are a decent number of Falcons fans on this site, but none of y'all use your own forum really. Thanks for the invite lol. I have said repeatedly that I really believe the Falcons have the best overall roster in the NFL going into this season (and being a Falcons fan, I'm certainly far from unbiased), but I have also repeatedly said that the Eagles (and especially playing in Philly) has historically been very tough for us. We always seem to lose in Philly for whatever reason, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Falcons struggle (especially scoring TD's) Thursday night. That said, I like our chances well enough. Both teams suffered horrific preseasons in which our starting offenses couldn't get anything going at all, but we all know how predictive preseason is. The real key to this game will be the play-calling and whether or not Sark has learned anything from the debacle in Philly last year. Like it or not, Atlanta absolutely SHOULD'VE won that game and they played the Eagles better than any other team did in the playoffs. I expect the Falcons defense to be even better than they were last season so Foles better watch out (especially with Beasley healthy and returning to a pure pass-rushing role). Our secondary is constantly underrated and Trufant will shut down his side of the field. That will leave the Eagles trying to pick on Alford on the other side, but Rocky is very aggressive to the ball so don't be surprised if he ends up with a pick or a pick-6 in this game. The first game of the regular season is always weird in the NFL almost like a continuation of the preseason, so I don't expect to see flawless play from either team, but with how short-handed the Eagles are going in I would say Atlanta absolutely should win this game, possibly handily. But their history playing in Philly can't simply be ignored no matter what I think should happen on paper so we will see. No matter the result, whichever team loses will face an avalanche of media overreaction regardless of the fact that starting out 0-1 in this game won't hinder either team from being able to get where they want to go.

If anything i wouldn't have gotten 27 on madden probably I haven't played that game since like 2011 so unless it's the same as then almost a 30 spot would be a strong showing for me im guessing.

Blaaaaaah Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The only reason the game was close last year was because of the wind; Nick couldn't sling it like he's used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much whenever he falls over like in last weeks Cleveland game or misses his WR, its pretty obviously due to his massive member.

Jeezla Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 In before wood polish gif General predction: I think our OL mauls their DL, our DL mauls their OL, and we win the game 27-17 despite a shaky performance from Foles. Specific Prediction: Matt Ryan gets hit early and often. Cam Johnston has a 68 yard punt. Goedert catches a TD on a play action pass. Ertz catches a TD on a screen. Clement runs one in. Jake Elliot makes a 55 yarder, a 48 yarder, and misses a 37 yarder off the left goal post. Fletcher Cox gets 2 sacks. Jordan Hicks finishes with 13 tackles. Mike Trout will show up despite having to play the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have 15 more years and a bunch of championships to consider afterall. In his stead, we have the man who showed us how much how quickly he could grow under pressure. Nicky Nine leads yet another team with key guys missing, that everyone is counting out against a talented Atlanta team in the Linc. The Phoenix burns strong as the early leader for the wideouts while Alshon is out. A ragtag group who will have to figure it out til he returns. Ertz looks to continue to be one of the best in the game and the addition of Goedert gives us 3 6'5"+ targets with Alshon..Redzone will be fun. OLine is looking as strong and deep as ever and should start the year strong with Peters back at LT. Jim Schwartz's defense was the biggest bright spot in the preseason. Solid play from all 3 levels. The DLine depth will be needed at Graham is just now getting back and with Timmy Jernigan out for awhile Luckily Fletcher Cox looks better than ever, and he was already an All-Pro..look for him to blow up the middle of that Atlanta line early and often. Corners are perhaps the deepest they have been since 2002/2003 and Malcolm Jenkins is keeping all together and focused on the repeat at safety Falcons Atlanta brings back, Jalen Ramsey's #1 most overrated QB in hometown Matt Ryan, Best receiver who can't seem to catch Julio Jones, and a bunch of other pretty good players who know one seems to want to learn the names of. Lead by Dan Quinn, a man so tough and military that he sleeps on a metal cot since age eleven. Giving him his iconic weird head shape. Steve Sarkisian, scapegoat/the only reason they lost (depending who you ask)...who's spent all offseason figuring out new ways to not use his talented players. Thomas Dimitroff, perennial runner-up to Howie for balliest/coolest GM...but clearly tries 1000% harder Arthur Blank, currently tied for coming down to the sideline too early with Jerry Jones...but he has a unique sadness to his that sets him apart. We will be doing something we haven't done since the 1961 season...defend a championship. Be the ones everyone measures themselves against... We are injured all over, Counted out by many, But somehow...like always, Atlanta will somehow keep us in the game and lose like they do whenever it seems to matter. Let's raise that banner and go get another one This was hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeman+coleman Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Anyway I have us losing. You guys just seem to have our number and Matt hates it when he has pressure up the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
