Eagles/Saints Talk

[Don Ho]

the Eagles haven't won a title since 1960

better?

[smeags]

get the same pressure on brees as we did on delhomme and we will get a victory.

[shorebird]

This will be a tough one. Only hope is that the D can hold the Saints offense in check, and the Eagles can mount a good run game to keep Brees off the field and run the clock down. If the Eagles fall behind in this one and Reid has to have Kolb throw over 20 passes, it's over.

The Eagles played extremely well taking the run away last week, so Carolina had to rely on Jake D's arm with a shadowed Steve Smith all game. Thats a recipe for disaster and it showed. Now youre asking the Eagles to take away a pass first team which scares me a bit, not because of the eagles corners but because of LB's. There is no team in the NFL that has the slew of offensive weapons the Saints have...and they are all healthy unlike last year.

The Saints love to play the seam routes on the outside, and if they do go vertical on the outside with Meachem and Colston taking S Brown, A Samuel and a safety with them that leaves the middle of the field with L Moore, R Bush (out of the backfield and the slot), and Shockey having big games. If the eagles decide to play a cover zone to slow up the big play, brees can still eat them up....not to mention the Saints offensive line only gave up 13 sacks last yr

with McNabb out...saints roll here
with McNabb and his flack jacket....saints roll here

Should be over by the second quarter.

Drew Brees throws for 17 TDs and eats Trent Cole's left ankle.

[General_Failure]

Just the left one?

[reese125]

ha. eats his left ankle....farg is wrong with you

[NC_Eagle]

If 5 was healthy it would be some crazy score like 44-42, but with Kolb in....ugh I can't even think about it. 

The only way we might survive is if the defense holds up, and Reid channels Mike Ditka and grinds the clock out on the ground with Westbrook and McCoy.  Brees can't throw 6 TDs from the bench after all...

[PhillyGirl]

Good to see you guys giving the defense even a half of a shot after this past game. 

44 points? Come on.

[DH]

seriously...to think the d is gonna played exactly as it did against carolina may be a bit much, but if its anywhere near to what it was, then this team has a good shot to win. who knows? maybe all this shtein about kolb finally getting to practice with the 1's all week is real and he comes out and does his thing. i bet he does..

Eagles 27
Saints 21

[PhillyGirl]

dont' get me wrong. THey still lose and Kolb sucks to a point of embarrassment.

But I don't think the Saints put that many points up.

[DH]

id be a fool if i disagreed on kolb's ability. the guy one of the worst qb's who has had more than just a cup of coffee with the eagles in a while...but for the first time in ages, im gonna drink the koolaid and believe that practicing with the varsity will pay off for him, and along with another strong performance from the d, the birds go home 2-0.

[reese125]

if practicing with the 1's for 3 days is going to catapult this guy into a qb who makes quick defensive reads, steps up in the pocket and gets rid of the ball in a timely fashion I might have a shot at the backup spot
