What was the crowd just singing? Is that the Eagles fight song?

Yes.

:music:Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory.
Fight Eagles fight, score a touchdown 1-2-3.
Hit 'em low,
Hit 'em high,
And watch our Eagles fly.
Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory.
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!
:music:

This is really disapointing. I was looking for philly to have the dedication and heart to choke it for a fourth straight year and cement themselves in NFL history as the biggest losers of all time. But we get this instead. Actually effort. Their heads obviously aren't in the game. I mean come on, you've got to stay focused and find a way to loose this one. *sigh* screw it.

I don't live far myself, but I wouldn't go there either. Not a chance in hell. It's been a long time coming and there's a crapload of drunken fans.

Edit: At least you have a river to protect you, I have nothing.

What's worse: losing the championship game 3 years in a row or losing the Superbowl 4 times in a row?

GO BUFFALO!!!

Good game fellas. Vick's INT really hurt us, and also Mathis (starting CB) being out & starting that Christian Kid (who never played before) hurt big time. No one expected us to be here at the beginning of the season. We're in a similar position the Eagles were 3 years ago after they lost to the Rams. I'm sure that' we'll be back next year improved & more experienced. Eagles got pressure on Vick because they were having 9-10 guys in the box. We were just rushing with our front four & Mcnabb had all day to throw (our front 4 usually gets great pressure but not today). Vick needs to start beating people with his arm before defenses will give him respect. It's really hard to throw with no receivers & have pressure instantly in your face.

Originally posted by: PlatinumGoldyup, it's not like atlanta depends on finesse or an intricate passing attack. they run the ball and probably run the ball better than any other team in the league.
Originally posted by: mpitts...And it isn't just Vick. I think TJ Duckett is going to be huge in this game. Dunn is a good and fast inside runner, but Duckett can move the pile.

The Falcons defensive line is WAY better than the Vikings. McNabb is going to be flushed and hurried so much more than he was against the Vikes...

i hope they blitz vick... cause here comes another 350 yard rushing game for the offense....
Originally posted by: mpittsAtlanta's D-line is SO much better than Minnesota. McNabb is not going to be comfortable in the pocket.

And good luck with keeping 8 in the box and stopping the run. Crumpler is Vick's favorite target and he will definitely find space if the Eagles do that.

To talk like the Eagles have no chance of losing this game in so myopic. The Falcons are just as good as the Eagles. It is going to be a good game. The Eagles are not going to destroy the Falcons, and I don't think the Falcons will destroy the Eagles.

Have you even watched a Falcons game this year? McNabb and Reid have never won a big game and I do not see that changing this year. Some teams have an "X" factor while the Falcons have the "TEAM" factor and some pretty good game changers in Vick, Dunn, Crumpler not to mention a defense that punishes teams.

He ripped out his transmitter and stomped on it. Methinks he was a bit frustrated with his offensive coordinator up in the box... :D

Got that one too, he took off his microphone (I think), and threw it to the ground and stomped on it.

In short, he's a little bitch.

It's really hard to throw when you give up on throwing if someone isn't open instantly. Vick needs to settle down and work on his passing game if he wants to be a worthwhile QB in this league. There were a number of times he decided "screw this, I'm gonna run" way too early.

One thing that really impressed me about McNabb is after his first or second season he spent the off season training hard to improve his passing game and staying in the pocket. He didn't want to depend on his legs he wanted to depend on his arm. Hopefully Vick does the same 'cause his legs will wear out a lot faster than his arm will.

I think that's the key. Only run if you need to. It seems like Vick is looking to run every play and throwing is the alternative. If the Falcon's can get some better receivers next year, and Vick changes his priorities in the pocket, then I bet they'll be solid next year.
