I have to agree. In my preseason predictions I argued that the Saints were going to have to accomplish 3 things:

1) Beat 4th place teams from last year.

2) Compete in the division gaining at least a split with each of our division rivals.

3) Learn to compete with established NFL powers..

The Eagles are interesting because they are inn both categories 1 and 3. They fell off last year due to injuries (and TO of course). But with McNabb back they are competing well.

However they too are playing a 4th place schedule and this is their first game against a team that currently has a winning record.

For the Saints to move forward, this is a game they need to win.

We have the advantage of winning the first game of this type against Atlanta. So this team know how to do it.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
