My biggest concern facing the Eagles...

Not to trash the Cardinals but there pass rush sucked in that game. On that play they left there DBs out to dry. They were also totally flat that game. My biggest concern is keeping Cam clean. 

they really dont have a much of a pass rush outside of Chandler Jones. I think one of the things that helps us is our ability to rush the passer with just the front 4. that said Colin Jones is trash

I can easily see this happening on Thursday night considering the Panthers situation at safety. This game could come down to which team makes a big play. This play ended in a touchdown.

my fear is that this will end up happening late in the fourth quarter when we're trying to protect a small lead and decide we'd be better off punting the ball away and trust our defense to hold them.

Too far of a fg attempt, too long a 4th down try, punt when you should kick or go for it, trying to prevent big plays, killing the clock. If anything is certain there will be complaints no matter what.

As there should be.  Rivera has ZERO killer instinct.

And chandler Jones did record two sacks in that game. The Eagles oline is weak and we should get there if they try to drop bombs on us. Flip side they struggle defending misdirection plays and draws. Expect the Panthers to use CMC, Samuel, and Funchess a bunch this game.

This can't be understated, because, the Eagles O-Line is awful when Lane Johnson is out.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
