Eagles/Saints Talk

[General_Failure]

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.

The Saints offense (read: Brees will pass for) four touchdowns. Their defense, blessed with 11 pulses, will be able to take the ball from Kolb whenever they damn well please. Whether or not they score is entirely up to the tackling ability of Westbrook.

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.

you do know that seam routes are run to the middle of the field not the outside....thats a GO route...you also must know that seam routes work best against zone coverage which the eagles run less of than most teams in the nfl since they have excellent man to man corners

altho shockey i can see explotiing the seam because the linebackers cant cover

The Saints O is solid, no doubt about it, but they were playing the Lions last week. I might be able to throw for 4 TDs against the Lions with my 5 year old as my sole receiving threat.

With a gimpy McNabb, or no McNabb...the Saints have a great shot in this one. Then again, it's one of those games where the Eagles seem to rally together. They tend to win games like these and drop ones they should win.

I'll be generous and say the Eagles gut this one out and win 27-24.

Word. No way the Saints put up 40 on this D, but they WILL score a 20-30 and I don't see Kolb's sorry ass leading the O to enough points to keep pace.

Gimpy McNabb shot up full of cortisone...maybe.

Since McNabb isn't likely to play, that more than likely means a steady dose of running the football.  One thing Reid has done when he goes down is run the ball more.  The Saints are horribly thin at DT, so that could be one way the birds could win.  Even with a healthy McNabb this is a match up I don't like.

I'm still chalking up that one as a win.

Yeah probably.

[Rome]

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

44 points? Come on.

Pretty sure I posted Eagles 44, Saints 17.

Nice rolleyes, though.  Can't have enough smileys.

[smeags]

31-13 saints

[Rome]

I'm not flying 1,000 miles to see that.

44-17 Eagles.  If I'm right you're buying at Cheerleaders afterward.  If you're right - there's a six pack of Natural Light with your name on it.

Deal?

[smeags]

make it show n tell and its a deal.

[Rome]

I'm not planning on driving, so, ask the big dude...

Run behind the big boys, Peters and Cole were studs blocking down field in front of Westbrook. Use them and pound the shtein out of the saints
