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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
