What was the basis for that unsportsmanlike call on London? That he did a fun shooting motion?
Edit: Gun not fun
Edit: Gun not fun
Surrounded by his teammates, no Eagle in sight. That he was shooting Eagles?
I hate that stupid flag. Fortunately it did not matter.
Soft call as far as I’m concerned, especially after picking up the flag on taking off the helmet against Philly. Clutch kick on the extra point.
It would have potentially been a better draft pick for the Judon trade if the Falcons lose.
Bill when losing Weis and Crennel?

lost 4 of their first 8 and flat as a pancake in the divisional
They also lost a certain LB
Edit: as well as SS and LT. That team was ravaged by injuries before September was over.
Barkley should have caught that ball but that was just some horrendous defense by Philly to get shredded like that at nut-cutting time.
Agreed. Let’s play soft zone and not rush the vet QB playing on one leg. Great job there Vic!
Eagles beat writer Reuben Frank puts it on Sirianni.
Platitudes about 'instilling a winning culture' aside, there are a lot of signs that something is wrong here.

I never really liked Sirianni’s act but he didn’t make Saquon drop that pass. Also, Hurts threw away the Jets game.
Edit: btw, Hurts also blew the Falcons game at the end. They could have gotten in FG position there.

Yeah, that would be on Kellen Moore anyway. The call was fine.
Hurts has been making some really bad decisions on late drives where they have to score. The Jets and Seattle games were just mind-boggling.
For people smarter than me:
At the 2:00 warning in the 4th QTR, Eagles had a 2nd and 1, and the Falcons intentionally went offside/encroachment to get the Eagles the first down, and the Eagles denied it (both very smart plays). Eagles ended up converting the 2nd and 1, and took time off the clock / forced the Falcons to use a TO.
My question is, what if the Falcons continued to do that on 2nd and 1 (purposely encroach/offside/neutral zone infraction) -- even if it results in an unsportsmanlike penalty, it would still be a 1st down, correct? Why wouldn't the Falcons continue to do that then?

My big criticism of Siriani and Moore is that they repeatedly didn't run when they should. Early in the game... gashing the Falcons D on the ground, get to 3rd and 4.... roll out with no PA to throw the ball to a late round rookie doubled in the endzone... then go for it on 4th and again throw and fail.... that's bad playcalling and decisionmaking. You should know you're going for 4th if you miss there and call accordingly, either run it or run PA when you're killing them. Bunch of those, including at the end where they were running well and then abandoned it in the Red Zone. Did it week 2 as well.
