[Vegas Eagle Fan]

This will be a loss, especially with the questionable calls made by out coaching staff.

[Vegas Eagle Fan]

Sirianni, Should have been replaced last year along with the other coaches. I would have him on a tight leash and have a back-up plan. I think after Monday's loss, one could argue to let him go. Everything I read, said you run it on 3rd and 4th down to burn as much clock. The FG was pointless. Time was the enemy for the Falcons, especially since they didn't have any time outs.

Correct, but you are still kicking the FG on 4th down forcing them to go all the way into the end zone. The clock still runs between 3rd and 4th down whether you kick it or not.

I get if you don't kick the Falcons have a longer way to go but don't need to get to the end zone, just the FG range. Then they get in range and they can spike the ball to kill the clock.

THey should have maybe kicked it into the green zone and let the clock run there rather than boot it out of the end zone.

Meh... moving on.

You don't kick the FG because you give them 20 additional yards. If you don't get the 1st, then they have under a minute to potentially tie the game which at least gives the Eagles a chance to win in OT.

NOLA's rush yards per game and 3rd down efficiency are serious worries for a team that cannot stop the rush and has historically had trouble getting off the field on 3rd.

[Captain Obvious]

I claimed and am starting Derrick Carr in fantasy this week so this is almost a guarenteed Eagles win lol.

[Moviephreak]

Definitely a game to take the over.

[BelmontShore]

They play too far off the LOS.

It's easy pitch and catch.

2nd and 10, they're 15yds back.

[Moviephreak]

Kamara stopped in the backfield, but then turns right where Huff "should" be, but of course he picked the wrong lane and got completely taken out of the play. Easy first.
