Lost in the hurt of the loss there were positives.

PrintEverybody is focused on us losing, and all the bad but there was plenty to be excited about, it's not like we had a shitty game.
There is no doubt in my mind who our best WR is, Jeremy absolutely took over the game with 13 catches for 171 yards and 2 TD's. That's fantastic production, if he can even put up half of that on a weekly bases we're set.
Now I know he had that drop that pretty much sealed the game, but that happens, you have to take the good with the bad with players and I'm sure if he's put in that situation again he'll catch the ball, I really think he catches that 9/10 times.
Lesean McCoy:
18 rushes for 95 yards and 2 TD's combined with 4 catches for 21 yards. McCoy's been producing like a top 5 RB so far this season, and he's on track for 1736 rushing yards this season if he keeps it up (though I seriously doubt he hits that mark).
With Vick potentially being out next week we have to get the ball into the hands of McCoy, we need to keep our defense off the field more than we did last week and we need to keep the Giants offense off the field as much as possible so we don't wear down by the 4th quarter.
Brent Celek finally getting involved?
While he only had 4 catches for 43 yards, his catches came when we needed them the most. I didn't see him make any stupid drops that plagued him a year ago and I did see the Eagles make an effort to get the ball to him. Celek could really be a weapon for Vick, he's a big target who is hard to take down.
Speaking of Celek did anybody see when he caught that in route and somebody hit him, then he kept standing then the Safety or CB came up and hit him pretty hard and he seriously didn't even budge?
Dion Lewis, potential as a KR?
I saw Dions big return, I don't however think it should've been called back because it's not like Anderson truly held him, his arms just kinda went past the guy. But still to show the burst to get us that big of a return I'm happy. Hopefully he continues to do stuff like that because we could really benefit from good field position every once in a while.
Offensive Line:
We didn't allow a sack the entire game. Go ahead check here.. Now we did have some issues here and there, but the big thing is that they improved from week 1 to week 2 and have shown a lot of promise. Peters was absolutely dominant, Mathis was all over the place making plays, Kelce turned in another good game, DeVan did nothing to stand out to me in a positive or negative light and Herremans did well against Abraham and Edwards even though he get beat a few times.
The OL has shown a lot of potential but there's a lot of room for improvement especially against a game against the Giants looming.
Defensive Line:
We had 4 sacks on Ryan. Cole blew up Baker all day, if I were a Falcon's fan I'd be ashamed at how poorly that man played, both Patterson and Jenkins blew up the middle of that OL, they were forcing Ryan to throw off his back foot and Babin really kept getting pressure right in Ryans face forcing him to hurry and throw. If we keep getting this much pressure without blitzing and our LB's can continue to grow we will be able to go toe to toe with anybody in the League.
The Eagles are a dominant running team:
Against the Rams we had 237 rushing yards and against the Falcons we had 133 yards. That combines for 370 yards rushing which puts us in 2nd only behind Buffalo (380). This is a very big aspect of our game and Andy really seems willing to run the ball this season with McCoy who now has 217 yards rushing and is 5th in the NFL in that category.
Between McCoy and Vick I really think we could put up 2k rushing.
We've been a balanced Offense through 2 weeks!
We ran the ball 30 times against the Falcons and threw 37 times.. Although some of those runs were Vick taking off when he needed to and Kafka running once when he needed too that balance really keeps the defense on it's toes and I hope the Coaching staff continues this trend, especially with the Giants coming up this week, they're weak in the secondary (praying Vick returns) and their running game struggled against the Redskins so I think McCoy could have a huge day against them.
Final Note:
On drives where Ryan was sacked the Falcons did not score a TD, against the Rams this was the same story... We must keep after the QB, I'm going to love watch Eli under pressure next week.

How so? I honestly feel like the Turnovers killed us.
That bullshit INT was garbage, and the 2 fumbles hurt bad…
We did well on 3rd downs both offensively and defensively…
Also the run defense did improve until the 4th Quarter.

I think we got a lot of good from this game however.
Yes we lost, yes it sucks we lost, yes we should have won… But how many teams can turn the ball over 3 times and only lose by 4 pts?

THey turned it over twice man
And you’re missing the point…you can’t give away games in this league, period.
Maybe Vick isn’t badly injured. But what if Shady misses time? Or something else goes wrong? The nature of this league is so unpredictable that you cannot miss an opportunity like the one the Eagles had last night.
That said, our talent is undeniable.
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
For once, I actually like your post- something that definitely needed to be said.
It isn’t that Maclin is a better receiver than DeSean, they’re just 2 completely different players.
DeSean is more of a home run threat while Jeremy is our consistent #1 WR.
Shady’s fantastic and absolutely needs more touches.
I actually like that Celek blocks more; use him as a situational Passcatcher ala 3rd downs.
I’m not impressed with Dion Lewis’ returns thus far; would like to see Ronnie Brown or someone else mixed in. I actually think our blocking needs to improve more than anything, but I digress.
Our offensive line is good. I’m impressed with how quickly they’ve been able to ‘gel’; I just wish the ‘other’ personnel (RBs/TEs/WRs) could take care of the blitz a bit more efficiently.
Our Defensive Line and CBs are our strengths; the LBs/Safeties need to step it up.
"When life hands you lemons, make a profit." - Chet Cashley
"Float like a Butterfly, sting like a Bee; Make sure you got the ball in your hands, or else you won’t get a TD." - Joe Theismann
Ok.
1. I do think Maclins the better WR, he’s complete, he can take that screen to the house, then he can burn somebody deep (Kafka pass) and he can go across the field. He’s a better WR than Desean, however Desean’s the bigger weapon/football player.
2. I agree, Shady’s going to light shit up.
3. Celek’s actually improved his blocking quite a big, but I’d love to get him out catching passes on 1st and 3rd down.
4. Lewis has made dumb decisions but he kneed when he needed to and he ran the ones he could. That big return was great but the Refs decide to call a bullshit hold… I think he’ll be fine.
5. Our OL has done well, and McCoy’s actually done very well at picking up the Blitz when kept back, teams are just bringing more people than we can block.
6. I agree to a point. Our LB’s did improve, they were in positions to make plays, and our Safety’s were ok, both units need to improve.. I don’t think Coleman’s a liability though, he’s been everywhere this year.

Our LB/SS’s were ok, but Tony Gonzo killed us… I know he’s a hall of fame TE and all but to see the same thing happen year after year is deflating especially after losing a game that we should have won

But
that first TD catch there was no way anybody could’ve stopped that without some kinda PI or penalty… And the 2nd one was also just a good play by Gonzo and a fuck up on Pages part

I do remember Celek still having his standard drop this game though.
It was a threaded pass by Vick that had to be thrown slightly behind Celek. He was open and had to turn a bit to get two hands on it but it was absolutely a play that he should have made.

Someone needs to smack Lewis in the balls, “take a knee, bitch.” Otherwise, I agree.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a fucking clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
I think he need to knee it sometimes, but if he knows he can get it out to the 20
I’d like to see him take a shot.

The problem is his judgment is not good enough to make those calls. At least, not yet.

I thought he made some good ones last night, he was running forward when he caught the balls and then took
the return.

there were a TON of positives
basically the only way we could’ve lost if the way it happened.
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
Joe what woulda happended if McNabb was our QB last night
sometimes we question s**t that there is no anwer to but I just built a house on I dont give a f*k avenue
Probably what happened to the Vikings the past two games
Poor offensive performances, particularly in the 2nd half
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
Damn i was expecting a quick rant
fail
sometimes we question s**t that there is no anwer to but I just built a house on I dont give a f*k avenue
I try
not to include Vicks scrambling as part of the running game. Its normally not a designed run but more so the offensive line failing and him having to avoid the pressure.
I wouldnt put Lewis as a positive…but more as neutral. April needs to get in his face about if ball is X yards deep, you take a knee.
Same with the offensive line. They did ok. There were some breakdowns though and they werent pretty big ones ( handful fumble when vick got hit before the fumble ).
Front line is a positive. The pressure they are getting without blitzing is absurd. CB coverage was great too.
Meant to say “and they WERE pretty big ones” in the above post.
The negatives are still big and they were here all along. That is what worries people. Its not like they just popped up. Everyone knew the LBers & Safeties would be a problem.
Play calling is still an issue. Sure you can say they were more balanced but when they used run plays in pass situations and such, that is bad play calling. Someone count the number of WR screens last night?
Celek
Had an awful drop last night at the ATL 3 yard line, that he then tipped up in the air, and almost got Vick picked off. I do agree though, I’m pissed about last night, but not really the way the Eagles played, other than Page and the Linebackers, this team can dominate.

yeah, there were a ton of positives, and this team, maybe more so than any other in the NFL has room to grow where they will get better. Nate Allen will come back. The linebackers are young, experience will help. The schemes are new, experience will help. Also, another huge positive from this game is Trent Cole. If he plays like that most games this year he could be a DPOY candidate, as opposed to a real good Defensive End that makes pro bowls sometimes.

there is naturally some positives of the game
but this game really drove me fucking nuts……… the offense for the most part is extremely productive the eagles scored 31 points and considering the fact they turned the ball over in critical positions it couldve been higher……. bottom line the turn overs have to stop the INT was bullshit i wont even sit here and bash vick he got robbed last night……… the defense is my opinion is completly unacceptable……… on paper this defense is clearly a top 3…… unfortunatley the piece of paper does not reflect the stat book……. 35 points is WAY too many points to give up on the falcons…… im not saying the falcons have a candy ass offense……. but they are not the patriots, the saints, or the packers……… those 3 teams are scaring the shit out of me right now……. the d line did their part last night…….. nnamdi and asante both had nice picks……. but scrub ass matt ryan still passes for 4 tds? give me a fucking break……. matt ryan is shit hes not a good qb and hes so over hyped by EVERYONE……… i expected turner to have a good game but for fuck sakes is this FN team going to figure out a way to slow down the run? our shitty young LB core is killing us…… jared paige ought to be cut after last night IMO…….. if we are giving 35 points to the falcons how are we going to slow down the pats if this defense plays the way they did last night we will give up like 50+ points easily…… great additions to this team in FA, but this defense has no fucking chemistry
Yeah I didn't even attempt to read this shit.

A few things
1. Trent Cole is a monster and will become even better in the wide 9. He will be a probowler this year.
2. Shady is the real deal and I’m surprised AR is giving him attempts.
3. Jeremy Maclin’s breakout season began yesterday.
4. Collinsworth said it the best we’re the only team that can take 5 yard losses and turn it into big gains.
5. We will become better as the season goes on.
6. How many teams can have that many turnovers and play with their 3rd string QB for a quarter and still be a TD away from winning.

Shady: I’m ready to say that he’s better than Westbrook. I’d like to see him lined up more as a WR, but he’s amazing after the catch. He’s arguably as exciting as Vick to watch.
Maclin: Tonight was his breakout game. That 4th down catch was easier said than done. Sure Kafka’s throw was on the money, but the spiral was mediocre.
Lewis: I think we found our KR. That hold on Anderson, though unintentional, was the right call according to the rule. It was just a great play by the ATL ST.
Celek: He had an OK game. If he would’ve caught that sure TD, which was on the same drive as the botched handoff, this game would be different. I can think of so many games decided by turnovers caused with 2 minutes left in the first half. If there’s one time in the game you want to play “Marty-ball” that is it.
Offensive Line: They’ve been quite the suprise this season. Herremans has done very well at RT and the interior has been doing their job. Mathis is as good in the run as Herremans.
D-Line: I’m kissing the ground Washburn walks on.
Running game: See Shady.
maclin tried to catch it with his body and not his hands
thats why he didn’t come up with the grab

I think Shady's ahead of Westy.
I want him lining up where he has been though.
And Maclin’s going to be something special this season.

You have a knack for spinning bad situations into positve ones lol, yes there were many positives last night but also at the same time there were some very alarming red flags that we all know about..run d cough cough…lol. Also while it was great 2 see Celek show sum life he DID have a bad drop in the red zone, the ball was slightly behind him but he got 2 hands on it and big time TE’s routinely make that catch look easy, to tell you the truth i wouldnt mind seeing a little more of Clay Harbor. Also this is totally off track but by the end of the season we are all gonna hate the phrase wide 9.
Yes there were bad things, there will be with every game.
Celek had that bad drop but he catches that 90% of the time.
And no, I love the wide 9.

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

Celek tends to catch all the hard passes and drop the easy ones...sigh
Like the bears game last year over triple coverage or the one against the giants in the fourth quarter…

im not big on the wide 9....
our ends can get pressure in a base 4-3, our run d is weak to begin with but the wide 9 is making our run d look like a high school teams.

it really wasn't that bad bro
Before he ripped that 61 yarder anyway. We had him contained until his final drive. The safety play was responsible for that big run, not really the d-line

Wide 9 Will Work
We have the lineman for it, and we played the run decently last night. Other than the big run.
1. Nate Allen will be back
2. Nnamdi said he would have covered Gonzo, (which I think would have worked pretty well) but DRC had the ankle injury.
3. This defense will get better over time, they have the talent
4. Yeah 5/5 RZ TD’s sucks. But the defense had short fields all night until the 4th quarter
5. The O-line was better than I thought they would be vs the Atlanta pass rush
6. If Vick has time to throw, they can’t lose

there were a lot of positives, you have to look at the big picture here. this team will gel and get better as the season goes and are going to be damn good. we gave this one away but there is no reason to panic
those are the magic words, absolutely zero reason to panic, other than the fact that the NFL is allowing corners to try and behead our receivers…sorry I’m bitter it’s only a 40k fine, can you tell?

im sure he wasnt suspended b/c maclin returned to the game and was fine
but that is complete bullshit. Fines and suspension should not be predicated on outcomes but rather actions and intentions. Plus he is a repeat offender. I really don’t get this. The one time i was actually glad to see a Goodell fine, he fucks it up…

No reason to panic and before that
61 yard run our run defense looked good.

Surprised no one has brought up Kafka
The Falcons did what every team does to a new QB and blitzed the hell out of him. He stared down those blitzes and made plays. Even on his ill-advised run he netted a few yards. In the end, he was able to get us in position to take the lead.
Now I’m not going to start calling for him to start in front of Young this week (barring a pleasant surprise in Vick’s recovery mind you), but he damn impressive.
Kafka made some plays and was very accurate.
I have no issue with him starting, I’d just rather a more athletic QB against the Giants because they will get pressure.

I hear ya
And Young looked solid in the preseason and he’s shown that he can be a legitimate (if not wildly successful) starter in the NFL.
I definitely want to see him behind center on Sunday as long as he’s healthy and good to go. It’s just nice to know that even in our hour darkest hour at QB, we’re not completely hosed.
Yes exactly, between VY and Kafka we have good options.

I know what you're trying to do wild_e
don’t try to make me feel good about this loss… i’m seething right now…………..
Football - It's Beyond an Addiction, It's a Way of Life.
Pretty much what I thought
1. Mqaclin is a monster and he’ll either take advantage of heavy coverage on desean or force teams to pick their poison.
2. McCoy is better the Westy. I was hoping they’d give it to him late on a screen, but whatever.
3. Vick was great from the pocket last night. Aside from the one int that was not an int, he wasn’t running as much as he could have. He stood there and took the hit and still delivered some ridiculous passes. Vick as a pocket passer is scary.
4. WTF is wrong with the playcalling? A fake right near the goaline? Just give that to Shady and its a TD. They didn’t have to fake it.
5. The wide nine is awesome. Ryan is probably having nightmares about Cole coming for him. I just wish the LBs could take up the slack.
maclin needs to get more recognition
could you imagine desean with more single coverage?
maclin has to force defensive coordinators to either double him and let design go wild, or make them double both and let celek, mccoy, avant, smith, etc go crazy
