that's right grasp on real hard boyo. grasp onto the past and swallow it for all it does to make you feel like someone who knows something.[/quote:e5fe2]
Wow. You sound JUST like the Eagles trolls that have been posting on the Falcons message boards for two weeks.
Why don't you stop - for just one second - borrow some brain cells from the pool that you Philly fans share, and CONSIDER that you might actually have a tough game ahead of you next week.
Your run defense is soft (don't bring up the Trotter argument, it's weak - I just watched Onterrio Smith break loose a whole bunch of times) and Atlanta's number one rushing offense is going to give you guys some serious heartburn. It's not all about Vick, despite what the media hype tries to portray.
You're also facing the best pass rushing defense in the league who lead the league in sacks, most of them belonging to their front four. What does that mean? That means they're planting McNabb on his face and don't even need to blitz to do it.
Now, the Eagles minus T.O. still have an above average passing game. Atlanta has shut down every elite back they've faced as long as their front four have been healthy, including holding L.T. to just 68 total yards. Westbrook is good, but he is definitely not L.T. Still, look for the Eagles to burn the Falcons with LOTS of screens to try and slow down the Falcons' D-line. The Falcons coverage secondary is their weakness, so it should prove to be an interesting game. Atlanta's time of posession blows the Eagles' out of the water, but the Eagles claim to be a ball control offense. This is also going to be an awkward match-up.
The two teams should match up really well and make for a good game that I don't want to try to call. But, if I were to put money on it (with the line on Atlanta, I just might - could get rich), I would take Atlanta to cover the spread. Why? Not only will the game be close on a skill level, the Eagles have lost the NFCCG to the NFCS division champion twice in a row. They've choked in the NFCCG three times in a row. That's a big monkey to get off their back, and you have to understand that - mentally - they're taking on two opponents, because believe me these guys haven't forgotten. So not only are they playing against the Falcons, they're playing against themselves.
Now, this was a long post. But, it's because I know something about football. You, obviously, do not. So try and remember that before you insult other people you dumb fuck.
Who are you, anyway?
