Eagles/Saints Talk

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, we all think the worst for this upcoming week. Even with McNabb this was going to be a tough game. The silver-lining here is that the Saints defense can give it up. The black cloud is that Kevin Kolb would have trouble exploiting a solid Division I defense.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The theme for this week, and it is already being pushed, is how Kolb never gets snaps with the first team offense in practice. Now he will have a week to prepare and practice as "the guy" and that will help him.

In theory that sounds good. Especially if they tailor the game plan to fit the new incoming players skills. But the problem here is that Kolb holds the ball so damn long that his window for completions in timing routes close quickly. Then he runs around and ends up dumping it off, taking a sack or throwing a pick.

Corn on the Kolb. Has anyone thought of that one yet? It's exactly like Korn on the Kolb but without all of the anal and oral copulation.

All about the defense and the run game in this one. If D can hold Brees in check then we'll be fine. Kolb just needs to throw a few here and there. Heavy dose of Westbrook, McCoy, DJack and Buckley. Kolb does look horrible though. I don't care what excuses that may come up for him. Its time for him to prove his worth. I'd still go get Feeley at this point. Thank god we got Vick. Just hope he can jump right in and do good, just don't see it happening at this point.

Hopefully McDermott won't get owned like JJ did by Payton.

whats the line gonna be

saints -2.5?

[Tomahawk]

igy, the decimal is at least one place to the left

Sal Pal didn't "want to compare Kolb to Peyton Manning, but both threw 6 interceptios out of their first 18 pass attempts so Kolb deserves the benefit of the doubt"

Idiot

[ice grillin you]

saints minus a quarter point?

[Tomahawk]

ha - I meant its too far to the left and needs to be moved right by at least a power of 10

lolz.  idiot is an understatement.  manning also started for a team that was 3-13 the previous year and didn't have ish for a supporting cast.  kolb probably has the deepest pool of playmakers that i can ever remember seeing on the eagles roster. 

having said that, kolb should print that sal pal quote out and put it in his scrap book because it's probably the best thing anyone is ever going to say about him and the only time he'll ever be mentioned in the same sentence as peyton manning.

but he never gets to practice with them.  I guess the Eagles' backups on their own could be a 3-13 team...

And Manning had Faulk, Harrison, Dilger and Pollard plus a high pick in Jerome Pathon.  Their issue was the defense (built by JJ the year before), which couldn't hold anyone under 20 points unless Ryan Leaf was playing....

[The BIGSTUD]

The Eagles have NEVER EVER lost a single game with Kolb starting. Ever. That is why I looooooooooooove the Eagles in this game.

[BigEd76]

the Saints haven't won in Philadelphia since 1991

[hbionic]

You just  did as the announcers do....as soon as there is some kind of streak going....boom....broken.

Thanks a lot Mr. Ed.

[BigEd76]
