Worried about Philly

Their defense was flying all over the place making plays and getting monstrous pressure on the QB with those crazy all-angle blitzes they like to call. They were seemingly able to stuff the run completely. Their offense was able to open holes for Westbrook and we all know dangerous that guy can be in space.

Teams could have said the same thing about New Orleans if they watched us play (at times) this year. Philly blew their energy on Dallas. They played up. They played hard and they got over that team for themselves and their coach.

Coming back to New Orleans won't be easy. The Saints look determined to succeed (in spite of past losses) and more focused as a team than I've seen this year.

I think we have the right players in the right positions for Philly, we win. Grammatica should be Automattica!!

Saints 24
Eagles 23

Can't argue this that, but Philly has played like that in every game of their last four including against the Giants (loss by 3), the Seahawks (loss by 4) and the hated Patriots (loss by 3). Somehow after all those heartbreaking (and energy sapping) losses, they kept their energy high and beat Dallas. Maybe finally winning one after all that will do exactly as you say. I hope it does.

I think we can beat them if we play like champions, but they are a LOT better than their record shows and I'm nervous. Any half-stepping at all (like the two fumbles lost this week), and they will wipe the floor with us.
