Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

The Feagles are coming off their best game of the season & have emerged as favorites on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Saints are losers in two straight games & urgently need this game (currently in the 6th NFC seed) however trending down.

Thoughts :bng:?

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Um...idk. The Saints are keeping things competitive but the mistakes, penalties and missed opportunities are killers.

I have no idea what team will show up...or which kicker. Lol

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Hopefully getting Kamara back will be huge. Also, home field advantage is at a historically low level. Home teams have won just 48.1% of 2021 games to date. That's lower than the all-time record low rate of 50.6% seen last year in 2020 with little to no fans in the seats.

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

IMO Home field advantage in basketball/football HS/minors/college/pros is becoming a thing of the past. The 21st century world of social media and constant distractions has changed things, and now there is a slight advantage to being on the road for team sports. Teams feel more together and can feel that us-versus-the-world mindset on the road, and that is actually starting to outweigh the noise/advantage of the home crowd/lockers and such. Teams on the road in general are performing and focusing a bit better now.

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Saints usually play UP to the competition & down to non-playoff bound teams.

Eagles have 8 takeaways vs Saints 13.
Against the spread, we are 5-4.
When wearing color rush, Saints are 9-3.
In Philadelphia's 10 games this season, it has five wins against the spread.

If the horrible TE plays then Eagles win. If Traut gets benched then we have a chance. Depending on the refs. **** it doesnt even matter who the refs are anymore they will gangbang us anyway.

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Yes, Trautman made a boneheaded penalty this last game and dropped a pass, but he was also targeted six times and had five catches which led the team.

Just sayin'.

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

True, however in film study all coaches will circle, showcase and illustrate are the mental error(s) (holding penalties/false starts) Adam continues to make. The false start vs the Titans was costly.

If Nick Vannett is healthy, he needs to play on Sunday. Not trying to pile on AT but the miscues outweigh all of those catches.

Team loss though.

Re: Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

I look forward to seeing all 6 ft 6 257 lbs of Vannett on the field Sunday.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

So Jalen Hurts is a QB now.... or not?

Saints defense should be able to handle him.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

I hope so Smash. Those scrambling types scare me.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Problem is historically we seem to bolster down on their luck QB's and hand them breakout games.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

According to CSP, Taysom Hill was "knicked up" in the Titans game.

Hopefully, it's nothing significant but I expect to see him on today's injury report.

Never forget

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Yes.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Agreed. I hope that Davenport has learned that he has to play assignment football by keeping contain. I remember last year Hurts jetting out around where Davenport was supposed to be for huge gains.

The goal is to keep Hurts in the pocket. Letting him run is what does real damage.

SFIAH

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Put the hurt on Hurts! :p

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

I may have missed it but has CSP named the official "starter" @ QB vs the Feagles?

Depending on the playing status of AK, I would envision seeing Taysom in the backfield a lot on Sunday ... especially inside the red zone.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Not that I've seen and I have been refreshing twitter to try to find out whatever I can.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Saints are top 2 vs the Run and the Feagles love to run with Jalen H.

D Smith vs Lattimore ...

Do we see more Juwan @ TE? Anyone's guess as to when Nick Vannett will suit up and produce :rolleyes:.

Gotta keep Hurts in the pocket.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

I hope he (Vannett) can produce. Five career TD's in five years isn't much to write home about. How does he block?

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

From what I've read, he was a very good blocker while in Seattle.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Good. We may need to be depending more on the run game.

So basically Vannett is a replacement for Josh Hill.

I hope Landon Young gets the chance to start at RT. At this point it’s either him or Jordan Mills and I’d rather see Young get real game reps.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

We're going to get destroyed. Lol.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Latest injury report wise, we are going to get annihilated.

OUT
Armstead
Ramcyzk
Kamara
Montgomery
Kpassagnon
Roach

Questionable
Taysom

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

I guess we should just go ahead and forfeit, huh? Why even watch?

:rolleyes:

I for one will be expecting a win. Any players we are missing simply levels the playing field a tad for the greatly outclassed Eagles.

:bng:

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Saints are Pros too …

Any Given Sunday.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

The line is now at -2.5 or -3. That doesn't look as though Vegas thinks we are going to get destroyed or annihilated.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

My expectations are way down missing this many starters. I still have faith but not much....

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

Philly is a tough stadium to play in, even tougher for visiting team fans.
You could hand me free tickets and a food voucher but I would never go back there at least not in a Saints Jacket.

Re: Pre-Game Saints vs Feagles Weekly line thread: Eagles -1.5 vs Saints
 

My dad went to a Philly game back when they were at old Veteran’s stadium.

Even then, not the friendliest bunch of fans :mad:.

The “City of Brotherly Love” my a**.
