Carson Wentz Finds The Open Man – Guest Comic By Tommy M.
I had this delightful sad comic depicting my favorite moment from the Eagles/Falcons game sent to me by long-time reader Tommy! I love a good Agholor drop joke, even if he doesn’t really have that problem anymore.
I was pretty surprised to see the Falcons pull that one through, even on the injured Eagles. It had all the classic signs of a hallmark Falcons choke and you could just feel the failure energy emanating during those final few minutes. But then they got that incredible 4th down tackle and they actually won. I don’t expect much of the Falcons this season and they should be embarassed they let a severely depleted Eagles team stick around like that, but this was a solid W. With the Bucs still bad, the Panthers broken, and the Saints now without Brees, who knows? The NFCS is an open mess, ripe for the taking.
The second half of this game was the first time I got to see them play this year. So excited DJax is back, probably my favourite Eagle (k, top 5), I’ll never forget Míracle 2 (sorry, Dave).
So disappointed when I realized he was injured.
Sick comic btw
Giants 0-16
You were saying?
When Carson Wentz made that throw falling to his knees, I was positive the come back was going to be successful. Then Ertz runs his route a foot short and the whole thing was sort of anti climactic. I guess that is how Falcons fans have felt the last couple times Atlanta played Philadelphia.
A lot of Eagles fans will bitch about the over turned two point conversion. That failed two point try would have made it a field goal game, but it looked to me like he was short of the endzone when he was contacted with his knee down anyway. The bad officiating that pissed me off was when Darren Sproles called fair catch on a punt and a Falcons player ran into him, but the officials didn’t call a penalty. Wassupwitdat?
I just realized that this is the very first comic where Carson Wentz was used as a tag.
Really? That’s quite surprising. Agholor, well sure, but Wentz? I’m sure Dave’s talked about Wentz a few times in this comic’s run, and he’s even made some appearances. Yet he was never a tag? Huh.

He appeared here, but no tag. I’m not sure if he appeared anywhere else, but Dave has talked a lot about him in comics where he didn’t actually appear.

It was Cody Parkey’s foot all along!
After today’s game, I’m feeling better about the Saints…not completely out of the woods, but Teddy looked better, the D showed flashes of brilliance, and the special teams play was lights out.
That said, I’m still worried. Next week should give a bit more clarity, but I’m not all doom and gloom.
