Eagles/Saints talk

[Eagles 3x]

And as long as they keep winning, I'll keep having bad feelings. 

Your bad feelings will be gone in about 10 hours.

Maybe I misunderstood. If they are the Aints then your bad feelings will be gone in about 5 hours. If they are the Eagles then keep the bad feelings all year long. What ever works.

Clayton making more out of Westbrook's decision to play, of course. Making a story where there is none.

He practiced all week but Friday and was fine. Clayton makes it seem like there is a HUGE question on whether or not he'll play.  I hate that guy.

DT Rayburn Active; Mahe Out


October 15, 2006

Defensive tackle Sam Rayburn will see his first action of the season Sunday against the Saints. Inactive for the first five games, Rayburn replaces rookie LaJuan Ramsey in the defensive line rotation. As expected, Donté Stallworth and Rod Hood are out. Reno Mahe is also inactive.

Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said earlier this week that he was challenging the second-team defensive line, which features first-round pick Brodrick Bunkley and Ramsey inside. And though Ramsey is credited with eight tackles, one quarterback hurry and an interception through five contests, the coach opted to insert the veteran Rayburn. Johnson also indicated this week that Bunkley could see more snaps against New Orleans.

Meanwhile, Stallworth and Hood are sidelined for a third time this season. Neither player practiced this week. Stallworth is still nursing a hamstring strain while Hood continues to battle a heel strain. Hank Baskett starts in place of Stallworth, while Joselio Hanson works as the nickel back.

showcasing rayburn for a trade perhaps?

Not a bad idea.  He's a decent DT that is behind a bunch of other solid DT's.  Show that he is healthy and in shape...maybe get a 4th or 5th for him.

I picked the Eagles to either lose against the Cowboys or lose this one after week 2.  I really think the Eagles should win this game, but it will be tough after the emotional high from last week.  That said, I really have very little actual read on the game and I look forward to watching it.

No score prediction this week.  If the Eagles win, though, I think they go 10-6 instead of 9-7.

30-27 Eagles

Don't know why, just feel that it will be high scoring and close throughout.

Let's get it on...

After the emotional roller-coaster that just about did me in last week, I have a fear that the Eagles will come out a bit flat in this game.

This isn't last year's Saints team - they're pretty good.

The Eagles will start slow, then get rolling in the 2nd half.  I'm afraid that it won't be quite enough.

Scary.

[Geowhizzer]

I hate you.

You don't mean that.

Ban?

I hate you.

You don't mean that.

Well, not to the extent that I hate suicideboy, Lewis, or Trotter. But there's a smidgen of dislike there.
