Eagles snuck by IMO. They got lucky that Atlanta couldn’t get a TD from the 9 yard line in four plays. Falcons totally pissed it down the legs, much like the Super Bowl collapse. Atlanta buckled under the “this can’t be happening again” pressure of losing a game that they should have won. All those “choke” jokes from 98 came home to roost during last year’s Super Bowl and they still haven’t recovered. Philly’s D didn’t do much of anything to stop them on those final plays... just bad play calls/execution by the dirty birds. Fourth down,, last chance and they roll their QB out... effectively taking away half the field from the QB. Condensing the area that needs to be defended in an already limited zone since the play started at the 2 yard line. Bad design unless you flood that area with more recievers than they have defenders. There wasn’t,,, the falcons ran two WR out against 3 defender... Technically 5 defenders but the other two stayed close to the LOS to gaurd against a late releasing TE or RB. Which by design they weren’t going to do. The TE stayed in to block and the RB took a dive at a rushers legs and sat on his ass and watched his QB panic. Just a terrble play to call in that situation.
