Official Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles game thread

Game at 8:30 PM is Falcons at Eagles 

Very relevant game for any panther fan to watch. We will play the falcons twice this season and even play them as soon as Week 2, so seeing how their offense does against a good defense is pretty important. I want to see how Ridley is implemented in their offense and how big of a role he will have in the receiving game. 

Eagles we also play this season. Although by the time we play them, Wentz should be back so we probably won't be playing Foles. However we could get a lot of out seeing how much their team has changed with Blount and Torry Smith not being on the team along with a few other changes. Some people are claiming that Torrey's presence was allowing Alshon and others to get open more easily with single coverage so now I'm very curious to see how the WR for Eagles perform. I think the Eagles are getting Sproles back , so that's another element we didnt see last season.

Of course as Panther fans, we should all be rooting for ATL to drop a game and for us to win Game 1 vs the Cowboys to get a good head start in the divisional race.

Really, it should be a good game.  Hopefully this new helmet rule isnt going to invalidate defense.

I'm really warming up to the Eagles. Their fans can still suck a chode but the team itself is actually pretty cool and arent a bunch of douchebags.

Hope they win tonight. I think they will.

Yep. Like the players. Fans are straight a**holes.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
