Nabbs4u Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Old man Nabbs is still old. Eagles by 20 Or Pitts 200 and 3TD Going with the latter. Edited September 8, 2021 by Nabbs4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Can our DB's cover anyone? Is Hurts capable of winning us football games? If those two things are true we probably win this game. Our OL should give Hurts plenty of time, and our DL should get home vs a not great OL in Atlanta. This game is pretty 50/50 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oland11 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I still remember a Falcons game where Trent Cole kept destroying the LT he was lined up against will bull rushes and the OT had probably 30+ pounds on him. I hope BG can channel that recklessness on Sunday. Speaking of Trent Cole, yall remember that time he straight up flipped a guy over his back in a Seahawks game? I think it was Russell Okung iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleBlueDon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 So ready for this team to just wreck somebody so we can start getting some respect. Can't read an article or watch a show without this team being shi# on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalamania Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I think Atlanta is going to be really bad - this should be a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 This is a game that could go either way honestly. I’m sure Falcons fans feel they can win this like we do. Both teams have new coaching staffs. Falcons have a bit more experience there and have a known quantity in Matt Ryan. I think if we can win a lot in the trenches especially with the DL we can pull this one out. It’ll probably be a close game. We haven’t won much playing in Atlanta though. Our fans show up well there but we usually lose. Our last wins at their stadium is 2009 and then 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hopefully Brooks is good to go Sunday, but man everyone is practicing at least in a limited capacity. Happy for that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleBlueDon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I actually like Epps. Def like him more than Wallace from what each has shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) This game has some interesting matchups. ATL has an ascending OL with several young guys looking to take the next step vs our aging DL with vets hoping not to lose any steps. Slay vs Ridley. Advantage: Ridley, but will be interesting with Anthony Harris helping over the top. Pitts vs our LB's and probably Maddox. Advantage: Pitts, but rookie TE's rarely have great or even good seasons statistically. Doesn't mean they can't have a great game here and there though, so Pitts could go off if we got our LB's and Maddox covering him. Hurts vs a crap defense. Anything can happen in week 1, but if Hurts doesn't look good, or at least above average against what should be a bottom 5 D in the NFL at the end of this year, I'll be very concerned. Our OL vs their crap DL. Our OL should dominate the LOS on offense. If they don't, Sirianni sucks. DeVonta Smith vs their crap CB's. It won't get any easier than this for DeVonta. Crap CB's? Check. Crap Safeties? Check. OL should buy time against a crap DL? Check. I'm expecting at least 80 yards and a TD in his first game, barring any health setbacks. Goedert vs Ertz. Which one will Hurts favor? Please lord let it be Goedert. We should win this game, because Atlanta is basically Dallas with worse #2 and #3 WR's, RB's, and a statue at QB, but the exact same quality defense. Arthur Smith will probably try to establish the run for ATL, which will play into the strength of our D. Eagles 27 Falcons 20. Eagles Fly High after week 1 (before getting our wings clipped in week 2 vs SF) Edited September 8, 2021 by Jeezla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
