Not so much we lost, its how we lost to Philly (1 Viewer)

[jasonsw]

Carr is what he is, a decent qb. Hes better than Dak, lil less than Cousins or Hurts

I dont know how you can facepalm that Dsnalfia. There is 11 years of proof on Carr. He is a decent qb that slightly better than Dak. Unless you are doing that cause you think he is worse than Dak

Did the Falcons lose the biggest cog on their OL?? The one guy they could not replace on their OL ??

No but that isn’t related to the point I was making. The Eagles D-Line is absolutely nowhere near one of the most talented in the NFL.

That Eagles D-Line got abused by the Falcons last week. They weren’t good against GB either.

Yep and yep.

Sadly I knew the outcome when we got zero after blocking that punt.

Either way the defense fought hard and I’m proud of em. I don’t blame them at all.

We need both McCoy and Hill back.

If they are they sure hadn’t shown it before today.

Better than Dak? Pretty sure 32 teams would choose Dak over Carr.

Dak has had everything at WR, Cooper,, Ceedee, Cooks. Zeke at RB and a Great O line.

Derek has had Waller, only one season of Devante, Olave, Kamara and Shaheed

DC with a good OC is a top 8 QB. The 1st two weeks proved that. We lose the one guy on the OL we could not lose and the effect is obvious. Our run game disappeared when McCoy went down. Or Pass -Pro took a nose dive because McCoy would have been blocking Carter. This is a different game if McCoy does not go down. And DC has more time to throw. And if you really examine those 11 yrs you find some VERY good yrs for DC. But if McCoy is healthy next week we'll be back on tract and DC will have a QBR of over 100 and you'll all be singing his praises

PFF and most of the experts beg to differ, PFF has them as # 3

I never did. I said after week one on a thread about Carrs last eight games, i need a full season sample size to determine if Carr has become an upper tier QB. Last few games of last season dont matter.

Even in those first two Games Carrs great fortunes relied upon big plays. The question is can Carr be methodical and precise when need be. Where you needle opposing defenses by stringing a bunch of 5 to 10 yard completions. I have yet to see him ever do.it.

With a groin pull, he probably won’t
Be back next week. Could be a few weeks before he plays again.

I’ll take the data from real games over a PFF opinion any day.

Falcons averaged 5.4 a rush and gave up just one sack, despite Cousins being a statue. GB averaged 7.8 a rush, giving up two sacks. Those stats match what the eye test said, they got bullied.

I agree they played well. The Saints defense didnt pressure Hurts much.

LOL so let's just take out 5 extremely good games last yr and 2 games this yr so it fits your narrative SMH

If lucky, Soft tissue injuries are tricky

Definitely not going to start picking things apart and saying this is bad we are horrible here because I just spent the last two weeks praising them and the confidence was really high for today's game.
That being said this game was one of those games I hate as a fan because they had so many opportunities to get it done and didn't take advantage of one of the biggest gifts (although the defense worked for it) and that was the Eagles coach getting stubborn and going for it consistently on 4th and 1 but sometimes it just happens that way.

Next Monday it doesn't get any easier.
