Eagles killing a good tailgating vibe.

After that first half, newly appointed Eagles defensive coordinator Todd Bowles might want to leave the field for the press box - and a better view of the carnage.

The Eagles trail 24-7 at the intermission. And it wasn't because Asante Samuel lost the coin flip calling 'tails' for the Falcons and Eagles head coach Andy Reid, for the first time this season elected to defer.

The Falcons took the ball, Matt Ryan ramming it down the throats of Bowles' defense and never looked back.

The Eagles have been out-gained 252-94, out-first-downed 17-8 and out-coached.
