Official Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles game thread

Game at 8:30 PM is Falcons at Eagles 

Very relevant game for any panther fan to watch. We will play the falcons twice this season and even play them as soon as Week 2, so seeing how their offense does against a good defense is pretty important. I want to see how Ridley is implemented in their offense and how big of a role he will have in the receiving game. 

Eagles we also play this season. Although by the time we play them, Wentz should be back so we probably won't be playing Foles. However we could get a lot of out seeing how much their team has changed with Blount and Torry Smith not being on the team along with a few other changes. Some people are claiming that Torrey's presence was allowing Alshon and others to get open more easily with single coverage so now I'm very curious to see how the WR for Eagles perform. I think the Eagles are getting Sproles back , so that's another element we didnt see last season.

Of course as Panther fans, we should all be rooting for ATL to drop a game and for us to win Game 1 vs the Cowboys to get a good head start in the divisional race.

Really, it should be a good game.  Hopefully this new helmet rule isnt going to invalidate defense.

I'm really warming up to the Eagles. Their fans can still suck a chode but the team itself is actually pretty cool and arent a bunch of douchebags.

Hope they win tonight. I think they will.

Yep. Like the players. Fans are straight a**holes.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
