E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Patriots game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Point 6 stands out. The lack of pressure on Jones until late in the game can’t happen when the Pats OL was down 3 starters. It’s one game and there’s young talent coming in, but it bears watching. This defense will be atrocious without a consistent pass rush. Point blank.

I thought several of Roob's points were excellent. Point 6 is spot on. The D is set up for pressure, but weren't getting it -- a point I made during the game. The field may have been an issue, and 1st games are always tough to gameplan for. But if the D doesn't get pressure consistently from the DL, the season will be more difficult than many of us thought it would be.

I thought Point 2 was also a bullseye. I haven't a clue what Brian Johnson was trying to do with the O. I agreed with Points 3 & 4. I hadn't thought about Point 5, but Roob is correct. Point 7 is the caveat we all know is lurking. I also hand't thought too much about Point 8, but I concur with Roob. Point 9 is a good one -- something several of us commented on in the thread. Point 10 seems to be a subset of Point 2, but I don't disagree with it.

I read that Jalen Carter had 6 QB pressures and a sack in his first game (an unlucky roughing penalty too). That’s a real bright spot. The UGA DTs have a special look about them. They could be perennial Pro Bowlers.

Wasn't the roughing penalty on DT Wilson? I can't remember

You’re correct after further review. It was Milton Williams and not Carter.

I’m pro don’t play the studs pre season but this is what you get

If you didn't see Sirianni's presser, he mentioned that. He said he's gonna re-visit that next year, and that in hindsight he would have gotten the 1's a series or 2 in the preseason.

so I think the first thing that teams do to beat the eagles is quick passing games. the last 2 years, that's how the giants really gave them fits. get the ball out in less than 2.5 seconds. I don't know Jones's release time stats, but it didn't feel like it was long at all. rushers can't get there. I think that bares our with Carter's 6 pressures. Jones just got the ball out fast. Belichek is a game plan master...

ALSO, i'm wildly optimistic by nature, so there's that

LOVE him. Giant nuts, feels no pressure. He watched the O, knew he must make them
