[Tom McAndrew]

let's get the season started in a positive way.

Go Birds!

 

[WestSideLion]

Here we go! This one could see a lot of fireworks.

Give the damn ball to Miles!!!

 

[jjw165]

Devonta Smith’s 1st NFL catch is a TD. 7-3 Eagles 🦅 1st qtr

 

[LionsandBear]

To all the Hurts haters...

 

[BobPSU92]

Field goal, Falcons. 7-6, Iggles.

I saw a lot of empty seats. What’s up with that?

 

[WestSideLion]

Hurts was Mr. Hyde on that second possession.

 

[BobPSU92]

How can Sanders expect to start over a running back named Gainwell? I think the handwriting is on the wall.

 

[BobPSU92]

Touchdown, Dallas!

 

[BeaverLion]

Give the damn ball to Miles!!!

Miles can't catch.. Gainwell fits their offense better IMO.

 

[diontechristmas]

Rather sloppy 1st half by both teams, but excellent half by Hurts.

I really like Greg Olson as the color guy in his 1st game.

 

[sluggo72]

Lane seems to be having a hard time

 

[LionsandBear]

The Eagles staff prefers to pound Sand(ers)!! Besides, at this point he's Miles ahead of Gainwell!

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles had a nice TD to end the half. Hurts made some great plays. They need to clean up the OL penalties.

 

[BobPSU92]

Sanders gains well on the two-point conversion. 15-6, Iggles.

 

[WestSideLion]

Pretty solid first half by the Eagles. That was a great way to end it. Hurts made some great plays. He’s still struggling a bit to see the field and make the right read at times. His mobility has helped offset that.

 

[jjw165]

15-6 Eagles at the half.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

LOVING hurts. Cool as the other side of the pillow.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles got greedy there and should have attempted the FG. I hope that doesn’t come back to bite them.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Sanders with 72 on 9 carries. Eagles turn over on downs when RB slips, get some key penalties to snuff out a Falcons drive, and then get nice field position on a bad punt. 15-6 birds with 4:24 in 3rd left

Probably thinking it was still 2 possessions even with FG

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Mailata is comically big. Holy hell

loving this run game

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Woooooooo! Talk about a hole on the left side. Gainwell TD. 22-6 birds

 

[WestSideLion]

Sanders with 72 on 9 carries. Eagles turn over on downs when RB slips, get some key penalties to snuff out a Falcons drive, and then get nice field position on a bad punt. 15-6 birds with 4:24 in 3rd left

Really great run by Sanders set up the Eagles TD. 22-6 Good Guys.

 

[BobPSU92]

The Falcons are shit.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Falcons are shit.

Quite possibly. It’s hard to take a lot away from NFL week 1. So few vets play in the shortened preseason anymore. Rust galore.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Need a nice, Parcells type clock killer drive right now.

Poop. 3 and out. Love the new Aussie punter though.

 

[WestSideLion]

Poop. 3 and out. Love the new Aussie punter though.

They ran a couple of minutes off, though. That wasn’t a calamity. Atlanta will be backed up here and have to use a lot of time, if they score. And they also need two 2-pointers too.

 

[WestSideLion]

Lane is struggling today.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Such stupid play calling on offense. d looks strong

You rang?

Great call for a TD 28-6

Mailata erased that poor DB

 

[zubrus1]

Just trying to spark the boys

 

[WestSideLion]

And there’s the fat lady. The Eagles are young and exciting on offense.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Rather sloppy 1st half by both teams, but excellent half by Hurts.

I really like Greg Olson as the color guy in his 1st game.

Olson is really good. It was funny hearing a big guy like him being amazed at Mailata’s size

It’s nice not having postal clerks at WR

 

[WestSideLion]

Mailata is an amazing story. His natural gifts are just absurd. If he stays motivated and heathy, then he has gold jacket ability.

 

[WestSideLion]

Yeah. And I think the balanced play calling and Hurts’ mobility have helped today.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Moms LOVES his draft film

 

[delcoLion]

Nice start, and that’s an understatement. I get that Atlanta isn’t very good but the Eagles sure looked like they knew what they were doing.
