Wild Card Weekend vs New Orleans Saints

[Don Ho]

As long as Joe Jurevicius isn't on that flight.

It's a charter flight anyway.  It's not like they're piling on a Southwest red eye.

ha...."be careful who you pick on"..great line

[ice grillin you]

So, um, when do the Saints plan on arriving in the city? I know the snow will not affect the game Saturday night but tomorrow is the typical day before travel day...and thousands of flights have been canceled.

For a team that sucks on the road now may have to deal with not getting in until a late hour?

sal pal reporting they will be arriving at their normally scheduled time of 6pm

pierre thomas out for tomorrow

mark schlereths wild card weekend bold prediction is that darren sproles will have more total yardage in the game than shady

If you're Billy Davis who do you focus on more...Sproles or Graham?

I'd look to stop Graham more. I'd like to see Barwin line up over him at the LOS to jam him and then pass him off to Williams...sort of like the bracketing that NE did on him.

Sproles is gonna get his because who can cover him? They're going to look to match him up on Cole or Ryans...maybe Kendricks can run with him a bit but I doubt it

[hbionic]

Mark Ingram and Sproles seem to have had less than average years. I don't remember seeing any of them on any highlights and most highlights came through the air.

There are lots of veterans on that team. The key is going to be getting pressure on Brees...something this defense isn't known for. But even more key will be keeping Brees off the field, something our offense can do if they wanted.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I don't worry about their rushing attack...Shady has more yards that their entire team....but Sproles on wheel routes and dump offs is dangerous.

just keep jimmy graham out of the end zone...i dont care if he goes 8/115 or whatever...in the red zone is where he kills you

[PhillyPhreak54]

I am so fired up for tomorrow...I am thankful this was a slow work week because I wasn't focused on anything but Saturday night. Went to my Friday meeting with my biggest customer and then farged off the rest of the day

[PhillyPhreak54]

21yrs ago today the Eagles beat the Saints in the Superdome 36-20...RICH KOTITE, bitch!

BTW - the New Orleans paper was trying to organize a run up the steps at the AM for Saints fans in Philly. They canceled it but I was hoping it would happen and they'd all slip on ice and break their farging faces

[Rome]

Some genius suggested Eagles fans fill pillow cases with doorknobs and head on down to the Art Museum.

Dio?

How good is Pierre Thomas at blocking?
