Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

Did not know if anyone seen this yet but I think this is very good news for the Saints.

Eagles CB Sheppard dislocates elbow and might not be ready for the Saints game.

Dislocated elbow isn't something you get over in 5 days. He won't be playing against the Saints.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

that kind of sucks, i like sheppard, and would like to beat them at their full strength.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

Same here, and I don't wish injuries like that on anyone (I've had several catastrophic joint injuries myself), but I'm not going to complain.

I want everybody to sit back and think a moment. Now, look at this season, i mean from day 1, seems like evrything is falling in to place. I've been a Saints fan for over 30 years, and no season has ever had that certain feel to it, like some kind of weird aura or something. If Phiily loses Sheppard for this game, that's just one of those things that seemed to be happening in one of the most surreal seasons i've ever seen in Saints history. Remember, the Steelers didn't march to the Superbowl on talent alone, they had a hell of a lot of luck, so if the loss of Lito is part of it, i'll take it. GO NFC SOUTH DIVISION CHAMPION SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those close games like the one today between Giants@Eagles takes a toll on a team. Nearly every snap of this contest was a fight in the trenches. I really believe the fatigue/bruised/banged-up factor will effect the Eagles coming into the dome in just 5 short days.
Sorry bout that Eagles, we earned this advantage.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

I might add, in the last contest against the Eagles it was Sheppard that picked off Brees' deep pass to Jamal Jones and returned the pick to the Eagles 30yd line that set up a Philly TD.

He's definately out.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

Hate to see someone get hurt, but it definitely improves our chances. Short rest for the Eagles doesn't hurt either.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

The loss makes the Eagles (already wounded backfeild) even thinner. And this against the most prolific QB in the league this year.

Living in 'Eagles Country' I've been hearing people downplay this and say how the Eagles can take the Saints and homefeild is nothing. Man I can't wait until Monday when I can walk into the office with my Brees jersey on along with a big smile while the Eagles fans make excuses.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

Well that definatily helps our chances but im expecting alot of Deuce in this game handing that ball of to Deuce and Reggie Tiki Barber ran all over the eagles...

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

Well, with Reggie really coming into his own and blowing through the rookie wall, I'm expecting a big game from him.

RE: Sheppard dislocates elbow
 

To be successful, both Reggie AND Deuce need to have solid games. As always, if we can prevent turnovers, we win this game.

Unfortunately, the Bayou Boys are LAST in the league in recovering turnovers. the Eagles are near the top. I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Save the Turnovers! Save the Game!

Roderick Hood will be starting at CB. He would probably start for about half the teams in the league, but he is prone to some coverage mistakes.

We should start off pounding the ball, and if that works go play action over top.
