Falcons win 32-25 over Eagles in unbelievable comeback
The Atlanta Falcons came out weak. They looked soft. The offense was inept, and Matt Ryan was incompetent, throwing 3 interceptions in the first half alone. Tevin Coleman was completely abandoned 2 drives into the game, and the defense could barely hold its own, the front 7 looking decent and the back end looking horrendous. They trudged into halftime with their heads down, trailing 18-3. The only bit of passable offense came within the two minute warning and they couldn't even punch it in. The Eagles received the ball, and it looked like more or less of the same as they drove down and punched it in to make it 25-3. The game looled over. Then Matty ice came to life. He quickly and efficiently drove the offense down the field, connecting with Julio Jones for a touchdown but failing on the two point conversation. 25-9. The Eagles forced their way down into the redzone and the little hope that Ryan had created began to fade-- until Kemal Ishmael turned the tide of the game with a 99 yard pick six. The two point conversion once again failed, leaving it as a 10 point deficit. The next drive, Bradford turned the ball over once more as Brooks Reed followed a crossing route to snag the ball out of the air with one hand. This led to 3 point for the falcons, making it a one possession game. The offenses on both sides stalled (and Matt Bryant missued a 50 yard field goal) until the clock hit 2:52. Matt Ryan Hit Jones on a slant for 89 yards and a touchdown, finally tying the game. The game-clinching score came when Ryan found Roddy White along the sideline with 50 seconds left and he simply turned it upfield and utilized his blockers. The analysis here? Dan Quinn has had a major impact. The falcons came out like the falcons of old, but the "never-say-die" mentality was something very fresh and foreign to this team. It's an important step, but this was still an absolutely ugly win. The falcons were atrocious for a half of football, and that just can't happen if they want to maintain success. The offensive line let matt ryan get hit continously and rarely opened holes for Coleman. If it wasn't an interception, it was a massive reception for big RAV for the secondary. Most of all, RYan must be the vet. He can't throw silly rookie interceptions. However, the Falcons came out victorious under Dan Quinn and are 1-0 on the season.
What's next?
The falcons travel to New York to face another NFC East squad with an elite WR in Odell Beckham. Atlanta must find consistency and show us something solid to prove which team was the real Atlanta Falcons in their season Debut.
