You have to excuse them...the overabundance of oxygen has gone to their heads. Now that they no longer have to wear paper bags.

Hey don't get me wrong, the Saints are a great team, and I won't be shocked to see them win, but man almost 3 weeks rest for most their starters?They are going to come out rusty, and not many with playoff experience, who knows how this pressure will effect them, I think they have only played 3 good teams all year, not that the Eagles have played a lot of great teams, but we won down the stretch on the road against division rivals so you gotta give them the nod.
No one and I mean no one outside of Philly fans(and even some of them doubt) that the Eagles will win, so we will see Sat. As long as the refs call a fair game and the Eagles use a balanced attack on Offense, it's going to be a long day for the Saints.
Oh damn....I know that they're the crippled kid in the wheelchair when it comes to experiencing playoff games, but damn. SuperBowl talk?
I don't blame them for being confident...they have a of a team and in the NFC, anyone can still break through.
If the Aints running game gats more than 125 yards, the Eagles are done. On the flip, besides Westbrook, I dont know how the Eagles are going to move the ball, the Aints dbs match up well with the Eagles recievers
I don't know if the Saints DB's match up well, but one thing the Eagles have this time that they did not last time is Donte Stallworth. The Saints usually like to keep safties back to limit big plays to wide receivers which leaves the middle of the field open, but I haven't seen a Saints game in a few weeks so maybe they've become more aggressive since then. If they still leave the middle of the field open this time around it will hurt them because the eagles throw a lot of seam routes to tight-ends, and look for Hank baskett to be in the slot this time rather than the Y position.
Eagles.
The Saints don't have an aggressive defense, their DB's don't play the ball much. They only have 38 sacks, 42 TFLs, and 19 takeaways (2nd fewest in league).
Their DB's just sit back and try to take away the big play, think 26 touchdowns scored on them or something like that, a mix of Westbrook, and Buck, with TE's working the middle is how the ball is going to be moved, the Aint's defense isn't that great.
no, the Saints defense isn't great...but its good enough for their offense. Eagles are going down 'piano man'.
Mike McKenzie will take away Stallworth, as far as Lewis and Baskett go, Fred Thomas, Groce and Craft will have their hands full, but the tightend position will be key underneath for the Eagles, but I still dont think they will have enough
Shyt, I smell a bet...
McKenzie isn't that great anymore, he works well, but not the player he was, when he got the trade from GB to Aints, besides I'm sure we will have the running game going mostly, it will really come down how well the Aints Dline plays against the Eagles Oline.
Yeah, that will be key, the Aints getting Thomas back will help, and Smith and Grant are one of the best end combos in the league, they will get some pressure and make Garcia make mistakes. The lbs are weak though and I think L.J. Smith might have a field day against them. And I still think McKenzie is a badass, but I guess we shall see
Eh we will see how well Thomas is conditioned, he really is only good against the run, sitting around for 4 weeks eating Twinkies without his roids, he will be out of shape....even more so....
whats your suggested terms?Shyt, I smell a bet...
Eh same thing I do with the cowpies this time of year, if the Eagles win you wear an eagles Avatar till after the superbowl, if the aints win I will wear an Aints related one.
sounds good, deal? and the winner gets to pick, right?
Yeah I'm sure I will be able to find you a good Eagles one.
How bout you both put up Cowboys avatars because we would have beat both of you. Sigh... Im just bitter
...OK, its on. good luck, now go sing yourself a song...you're the piano man.
Bleh Billy Joel.
I could always put one of Tony OH NO! Sitting on the ground crying, after he choked like a Manning.

Shaddup.
I'm pretty sure you've broken some sort of manlaw with that statement.
I like the Saints to win this too, they will be rested and have a better team. Plus my Super Bowl pick is NO vs IND so I'm gunning for Saints to come out of the NFC, which they in all likelihood will.
