I agree. Seattle stripped & scored on Brees early and that was all she wrote. I don't think they even got another TO the rest of the game but that was devastating.
Yea Boykin is not moving from the slot. He's too good there. I wonder how much Wolff plays.
Nope. Pass rush sucks this year, probably a big reason why the pass defense is what it is. No pressure, Qb's will find a guy get open. CB's can only do so much...
I don't think it's an overwhelming mismatch. Colston is a good player in his own right.
The above statement gets me SUPER fired up because in the context of the article it implies that A. he was at an Eagles game, which he was not (phillies) and B. that he was from Philly, which he was not (Jersey).
Sounded like he was talking about Philly fans in general, regardless of where their mailing address is.
I get it but he's also referring to "examples of poor fandom" that happened more than 50 years and three stadiums ago. Come up with some new material for god's sake. Its lazy "journalism" at its worst.
Dude, I am all for defending Philly fans, but this is seriously splitting hairs.
This part has been proven false:
This just means we won't rely on the screen game as much and Ingram will pound the snot out of the ball.
We can see a lot of Sproles, also Khiry.
Ain't no telling which Peyton will show up tomorrow. I'd really, really, really like for us to go up early. That's all I ask, and it needs to happen.
An opening drive TD would be huge.
People like to discuss how poor the NO run game is, but in FF terms they were the no. 8 FF points scored for RBs. I know, that's just magic football; but on the road the trouble has come in scoring and closing out games (NE & CAR especially), not necessarily in moving the ball and TOP.
This is me. I really don't have a feel for this game at all. I just know I'm scared to death of Brees and Graham. Sproles worries me a ton too.
Yes I hate the Saints as much as the Cowboys, Ohio and the SEC, living there for 13 years did it for me. Losing Pierre Thomas hurts the Saints big time.
I'm going to guess that we see Ingram lead with a 2:1 or 3:2 split with Robinson getting most of the minor part with some Sproles carries (<5). Sproles should get most of Pierre's receptions.tjnc09 said:

Saints averaged, what like 33 points in those two games? I'll take that now.
Doable, sure, any game any day is doable. But I went from confident to pessimistic. I think Pierre is the catalyst for a lot of what Payton wants to do. Without him and with these receivers being largely absent all year, I wonder who the heck is going to step up and convert those two or three extra third downs Pierre always gives us when the chips are down. Maybe Lance Moore.
I know the news hit the city like a bombshell yesterday but c'mon a little too much deflation going on here. Hey the defense lost those games, or more specifically Gregg Williams' calls in those two games. It was a blow when Pierre left the 9ers game, but then that was a dirty hit, a surprise, and he was going to be a big part of the offense that day. This year the Saints have been practicing all week without him and have likely been planning to be without him. These Eagles have very little to nothing in common with the style of football played by SF and Seattle.
This is a big factor IMO. Yes Ryan is better than Davis as a DC, and NO has the better overall defense. But it comes down to the players on the field and their reactions to the read option. If Philly can operate it properly with Foles making the correct decisions, it could be a long night for the NO D.
Same here. No idea what's going to happen, I'm pretty much 50/50 as to who will win. Just hoping it's a great game, if they lose I won't be terribly disappointed because they would've lost to a HoF QB in the first round of the playoffs that no one anywhere expected them to be a part of.Bigboy10182000 said:
