September 12, 20214 yr Really liking the offense. Creative. I just saw Wentz fumble on a sneak. Lol So glad we don't have to watch the fumbles all the time.

Get the points, go up 12 and let the Falcons on their heels. Just not my move in this game. No need to go for it.

And 19.2 yards per carry The big time receiving TE is still fairly new. You had your guys like Ertz that were just receivers but still far and few. You had Tony G then later Antonio Gates. The majority were brought in to block first receive second. Now it's the opposite but, they come in as big time receivers and don't block well so then they have to learn to run routes and learn blocking schemes and that's where they struggle the first few years.
September 12, 20214 yr Not sure what adjustments they made at half time, but the run defense looks light years ahead of where it was in the first half.

September 12, 20214 yr I still don’t get how Wentz has so much balls batted down at the los. He’s not doing too bad though. Nice to see.

True but you’d still think with some of the TEs we’ve seen over the last twenty years and how the passing game was in 1961 that someone would eventually have broken it. I think more impressively ditka had a 19.2 yards per catch.

September 12, 20214 yr People talking about Matt Ryan going into this game like we have to worry about him. Matt Ryan had about 2 games in his career against the Eagles where he lit us up and those were both over a half decade ago. He struggles to put up points against us.

Probably why it could of also been easy for him cause at that time teams hardly passed let alone passing to a TE so no one probably had any idea how to shut it down
