GDT: Falcons at Eagles Battle of the Birds

The heart is pulling for Foles...to come off the bench and win in the playoffs would be sweet.

The psyche is against the Falcons a bit - having collapsed and let me down so badly in their chance to trounce the Pats last year, I don't want to give them a second chance at collapsing.

 

Strange game so far

When I watched the Falcons meltdown last year in the SB I thought a bit of the psychology of losing like that and thought about the Bills and wide right. Arguably the Falcons collapse was much worse but it could be said that the Bills losing to the  the Giants was ultimately a bigger upset overall. Its an interesting question to whether teams that experience such a devastating loss can ever truly recover. Part of me is pulling for the Falcons to show that you can overcome your failings. The Bills never could in those 4 SBs and it still haunts' me that but for one missed FG it might have been so different.

See I thought that meltdown was coming.  Maybe not that dramatic but the Falcon's defense had sucked all year and the Pats was the best at keeping teams from scoring.  It just seemed like a matter of time.  Matter of fact they played better this year but they'er going to get tired. The Eagles are going to roll them.

Didn't Talley play for Atlanta for a while after he left the Bill's?  Actually just looked it up.  I guess Bennet played played for the Falcons also which I had forgotten about.

Cox and Graham are pretty disruptive.  I still think we missed Dareus even if he was only playing 20 snaps a game when we traded him.

Atlanta should have never gotten close enough to get that first half TD.....helmet to helmet 15 yard call was BOGUS. They deserve to lose.

 

It wasn't helmet to helmet. It was shoulder to helmet and that's still a penalty.

Looked like more of a shoulder to back than helmet to helmet.  What are you going to do if you are the safety there?  Two hand touch?

Watching other teams make me feel like every single offense in the NFL is better than ours 

Oh stop exaggerating! 

 

Every team isn't better!  Only 28 teams were better! 

 

Three were worse!
