really incredible how detailed BB’s profiles on all the players are.

wonder if he’d ever apprentice as a soccer scout under Jose Mourinho.

Atlanta looks to me to have a very good defense, albeit Hurts killed them on that last drive...but that will happen. They also have a good running game and OL. Cousins still doesn't look good, though. He's been able to hit some wide open guys when he has time, but is adding nothing...yet, anyway

Refs also thought he deserved it apparently because that was a closed fist which by rule I thought was an auto-ejection

I get the second guy always gets penalized but he had the evidence in his hand. There’s gotta be some rule against tampering with an opposing players equipment.

Both teams with more rushing yards than passing. Patriots aren't the only team struggling to throw the ball this year.
Most teams are struggling to throw the ball so far this year. A lot of it had to do with defenses being lighter and faster at the linebacker position to gear up to stop the passing attacks.
But that naturally makes them a lot of more susceptible to the run.

Yup, and really a continuation of trends that have been evident the last two seasons.

Unimpressed with a lot in this game

Playcaller for Atlanta wasting a dominant game from his oline is most unimpressive

That was sort of a drop from D Smith but otherwise he is by far the star for Phi. Hurts running well but his throws look like shit. I hope is arm isn’t shot from whatever injuries he had last year. He has not looked good throwing for a while.

Ray Ray seems like he can get open against zone whenever but the punch was so dumb. Not that the guy didn’t deserve it but be the smart one.

The Eagles ignoring their best player inside the 20 is wild too, I think Saquon has no carries inside the 10 as well.

Siriani should tell Hurts to just hand the ball off, he's had like 5 RPOs where there is going to be a gaping hole for the run but he pulls it back so he can go on a rollout adventure and make a shitty throw
