Re: Eagles fan here
I think if both teams play to their potential then is should be a good, close and entertaining game! . . My main concerns are the weather, dome teams always seem to struggle in bad weather conditions.
But also, as has already been mentioned, if the Refs get things wrong, or throw flags for everything and don't let the players play, (for both teams that is), then that could ruin what should be a good game! GEAUX SAINTS!!!!! |

the saints for the most part have also limited RB from making key first downs. which is huge. like i said thats why they are elite. now to totally shut down a elite running game, well we are not there yet and i agree with your reason why now as you pointed out the saints really are their own worse enemy. Seattle and New England proved that over aggressive play is a sore spot for the saints. i love attacking but with reckless abandon is a game killer. Philli thrives on miss direction and going back against the grain of the defense. we must play under control especially at the LB and safety positions or this will be a long night. oh yeah we MUST seal the edges in this game and that falls on DL and our smallish OLBs. The OLBs need to play bigger than they are. i think this will be the area of the run defense the Eagles like every other team in the past three years have attacked. this should be a fun chess match to watch |
