Right. Falcons at Eagles, who you got?

I liked the Falcons after their showing last week, but the sound out of the Eagles camp is that they have some serious "nobody believes in us, let's prove them wrong" going on, and I'm less sure about the Eagles sucking than I was last week-end. Going to depend on Nick Foles. If he's hot the Eagles have every chance in this. If he's not.... I'm still picking the Falcons.

Hedging your bets much?

Go Eagles.

Ryan and the Falcons have the experience, hard to pick against them right now.

AFC home and NFC away teams. But all games but the Pats one could be close.

Regarding Foles, there are few backups that I'd rather have start for my team in the playoffs. I don't wanna believe that his 27-2 or so season was all on Chip Kelly.

[draynay]

Foles uncorks a duck, inauspicious beginning. They were talking about the wind a lot, best not to test it too much.

And then a fumble recovered by the Falcons. Wild start.

[draynay]

Eagles offense looks like they're trying to flag their way to the NFC Championship.

[Northern Goblin]

I thought PI calls require a pass to be catchable?

Not sailing 5ft over everyone's heads.

[draynay]

omg a completed pass

and sack your way out of FG range, this is textbook shit offense

[Blobfish]

The battle of the Raptors.. Falcons vs Eagles.

If Wentz was playing I would go Eagles

But Nick Foles looks nervous whereas Matt Ryan is cool as..

Falcons by 10..

[Pendulous]

Ajayi's gonna have to get about 30 touches to will this team to have some kind of offense.

[xskarma]

Is that a TD?

- - - Updated - - -

Yeah, no it's not. That's 4th and 1.

[draynay]

Couple of bad playcalls in goal to goal, lucky they didn't fumble it away.

[xskarma]

That IS a TD though. Eagles go up 7-3. (assuming XP is good)

- - - Updated - - -

Damnit Eagles kicker. 6-3 then.

[draynay]

Julio is a decent safety.

[xskarma]

Wow. Eagles special teams blowing it.

[Deleted]

Top notch ball security from the Eagles all game long...

[Northern Goblin]

The Eagles seem to be doing everything possible to not win this game.

[Twix]

thats not a penalty wtf

[ProphetFlume]

Eagles seem like the better team in Offense and Defense but special teams is fucking them. Also bullshit flags.
