How many games like this will it take to cement Hurts as the QB?

This game could end in a tie. 

Well the Toronto blue jays are beating the orioles 22-7. 

What is it with Cincy and ties?

Need to couch everything realizing that the Falcons suck.  That said...

 - Both of our lines are awesome.
 - Nice scheme by Siriani and well executed by Hurts.
 - I forgot what a contribution from WRs looked like.
 - Impressed by what Gannon was able to do with the back seven.

It's ok to be optimistic.

Spot on. Today was very good and I think we should have hope for this year. Doesn't mean its all going to be like today and we are going to have frustrating weeks but this was a very good start.

Well, Atlanta had the 29th ranked defense for a reason last year.  There was the high floor. I fear the low ceiling for this team starts next week. Blocking the Falcons DL isn’t close to dealing with Nick Bosa and the 49ers front four.  

Well ya that’s a penciled in L no doubt 

Week 1 winner goes to @dawkdaballhawk with a prediction of 31-10.

Bonus prediction winners go to:

@BigEFly Eagles convert 2pt while leading

@jamiller Eagles have inspired win, pleasant week, kumbaya/Superbowlz

Technically correct were:

@Iggles_Phan 60-70 mins of football played

@Veejer Gameday blog sucks and is stupid

These both were about as easy of predictions as a Ben Simmons foul sho.... nvm

Close but no cigar go to:

@DEagle7 Hurst to have more receptions/yards than Pitts. Missed by 4 yards.

@devpool Hurts 260 yards 2 TD' passing, 60 yards 1 TD rushing. Missed the 1 rushing TD.

@TorontoEagle Eagles 200+ yards rushing. Missed by 27 yards. 

TBD:

 @EaglePhan1986 says something stupid, gets suspended 2 weeks.

 

Special shout out to @vikas83, that one was for McNabb

Tough day for the Hurts haters in here.  Guess we’ll have to wait a little while longer for Minshew 

Not really. He beat a bad team with short passes. That's what he does. 

@justrelax Was Lane having a bad day?

Idk about that. Home opener. First time with a full house since 2019 playoff game. Plus if you can block them upfront their corners are not great. They actually lost their start Verrett today. 

Who knows what the rest of the season holds, but it sure was nice to see a very satisfying blowout win for the first time in forever.

But I think that's what this offense is mostly going to be under Sirianni... So that'll work nicely.

I think he is learning Hurt's cadence

A new season. A fresh start. But some things don't change. 

Sirianni regarding penalties...

"We have to clean up the things that require no talent."

Nick using the dog mentality

And that won't fly against a good defense when it matters...esp if the weather is messy. 

Nicks PC seems refreshing. He's getting into detail and having a conversation instead of answering questions

Greg Lewis has been called for a 15 yard penalty. Yep, the coach.
