They went to the linc to get outside into the elements and the guys picturing the empty stands filled to capacity with a raucous crowd. And few have final in nick foles and his quarterback is handling the pressure well. He is the type of guy, i think like most quarterbacks we learn to compartmentalize everything and put it in boxes and check off each box every day and pick sure we are staying focused on the game plan and the guys. He has done a nice job in handling it this week. I caught up with sal pal antonio. And they are the underdogs, because of nick foles they dont have faith in him. You look at his performance down the stretch he was pulling the ball back a lot jaime and didnt trust his Wide Receivers and the falcons have two go covers and dont be afraid pull it back and trust yourselfers. And matt ryan in penn charter. They played well down the stretch. And you know they have to get matt ryan off the spot. They only have nine sacks in their last six games, they must blitz matt ryan and pressure him early and not let him get into any kind of rhythm. The special teams cannot make a bad play and allow the falcons to have short field position, if the falcons have to go the length of the field or 80 or 60 yard drys, they can control the line of scrim able to win in a close and low scoring game. I like the eagles winning 1916. Okay its never too early to think about next year. They face the jaguars in london sometime in late october.
