Biggest takeaway from Iggles game

@"Bullazin" said: They had constant pressure on Ryan in the 4th quarter.  Even though they were not sacking him he could not get comfy in the pocket and that ultimately was the difference in the game.  

Atlanta is a good team but their offensive line is not great, maybe not even good. Not that its a great revelation to anyone but if our oline doesnt exceed expectations we may very well underachieve this year

Wouldnt it be a real kick in the ass if Oneill locked down the RT spot ala Ramzcyk last year.  that woukd be so awesome and helpful for our chances to be elite

im not sure if you and I view a "kick in the ass"  as the same thing. typically i think of an ass kicking as a negative thing... but hey,  im not judging,  if that is what you are into,  be you!

The Eagles had 4 sacks against an experienced QB - former league MVP - behind what is supposed to be a very good OL. That is getting it done.

Fusco is part of that “very good” Atlanta offensive line. 

I think the first game of the season is always the sloppiest one.  It still looks like a preseason game for a lot of teams. I would try to avoid taking too much away from any game this week.

But we defenitely need our OLine to play well to maximize our chances against some of the better defenses with stout DLines.

Per PFF.  They have Philly at 1 and Dallas at 2. Fusco is their lowest graded O lineman for Atlanta.3. Atlanta FalconsPROJECTED STARTING LINEUP:Left Tackle: Jake Matthews, 80.8 overall grade Left Guard: Andy Levitre, 78.0 Center: Alex Mack, 88.9 Right Guard: Brandon Fusco, 76.0 Right Tackle: Ryan Schraeder, 77.5 2017 season-end rank: 2nd (-1)

I hope PFF has the Atlanta OL way over-ranked. 

he held onto the ball a looong time

Long developing routes. Their OC is over matched

Every year teams that made the playoffs the previous year are replaced with new teams. Atlanta is my top choice this year. Panthers are my 2nd for the reasons you mentioned here for the Falcon's. Poor Cam... Norv's offense is going the have them partying like it's 1999.

let's see---you have an above average pass rushing D and you run long developing routes with no dump off hot options   OKAAAY
