Tampa Talk

a coach is part of your team...if the eagles have equal players but a worse coach than another team then they are the lesser team

[rjs246]

From what I saw the Saints played a better offensive AND defensive game. On top of that their special teams didn't Larry, Curly and Moe all over the field. I think we had better start getting used to the idea that the Saints are a very good team.

Every game between now and the bye is a must win. This team looks more and more like 9-7 every time I look at them.

the giant game continues to be the killer...new orleans is simply a better team and better teams should win at home as they did...not a big deal...especially not a big deal is they dont pull a legendary gag in the giant game...minus that game they are sitting right now at 5-1 and looking at a tampa team they should beat and a home game against jacksonville into the bye

Yep.  That loss to the Giants very well mean the difference between a playoff spot or sitting at home in January.  This team is just a couple of plays away from being 6-0.  Of course, they're also just a Drew Bledsoe away from being 3-3.

new orleans is not a better team. lets just get that straight. they are good, but not better. they are monsters at home. any idiot coach could of coached a better game.

I'd say both teams are probably about even but New Orleans came out with the hunger of a young team trying to make a name for themselves.  The Eagles came out like a veteran team expecting to win simply because they've got more experience.

Although I don't think I'm ready to call the Saints a better team... they drefinitely are for real and some of us know exactly why they're such beasts in that dome.  I absolutely agree with the Giants part though.  Yeah, it's "only one loss", but I can't shake the feeling that it's gonna come back to bite us in the ass.  Already, the Giants collapse has made the next two games must wins...

Agreed.  One thing I noticed the week leading up to the Saints game is how NO ONE gave any real consideration that the Saints stood a real chance to beat the Eagles.  I was a bit worried coming off the Dallas game... because the Eagles were fresh off an emotional win, going up against a dangerous team in the Saints. 

I'll bet the Saints made a whole lot of people believers this past weekend.  They're for real.
