SMH we are not lining up correctly!! My god no wonder they are running down out throats you can’t play a 2 or 2i and a wide 5. SMH

This Fangio defense isn’t working. I’m tired of watching Eagles defenses let Kirk Cousins pick them apart from a clean pocket.

As mentioned, every time they go back to pass, they do the Eagles a favor

9-7, Falcons, after a 32-yard FG by Atlanta on their opening drive of the 2nd half

Birds with a 29-yard FG attempt makes it 10-9, Birds, with 4:28 let in the 3rd qtr.

Nice drive by the Birds, except for DeVonta Smith not coming down with the 3rd down pass at the goal line. (In his defense, if it was thrown to his outside, the DB would not have been able to knock it out.)

It would be helpful if Britain Covey went north and south instead of running 10 yards sideways

Falcons with a nice drive for a TD (aided by a terrible job of tackling on the TD by CJGJ), makes it 15-10, Falcons, with 1:21 left in the 3rd qtr.

Eagles D is lacking. They just give up too many big plays at crucial times.

That decision to not kick the FG in the 1st quarter may come back to haunt them.

I hated the call too, but If the Eagles kicked the FG, the Falcons would have gone for one to make it 16-13. Either way, they would need 6 to take the lead.

TD, Barkley!!!

On review, they rule his knee down at the half-yard line

TD, Hurts, on the tush-push

16-15, Birds, with 6:47 left in the 4th qtr.

Birds go for 2, Barkley tries to jump over, the refs mark him short, but after a conversation he's ruled to have converted on 2nd effort.

18-15, Birds, with 6:47 left in the 4th qtr.
