Alvin Kamara is convinced the Saints would have beat the Eagles in the playoffs last season.

The Saints running back didn’t mean any disrespect. He just simply believes in the talent of his team, and he thinks New Orleans would have continued its run if it had gotten by the Vikings last season.

So, during an interview with Bleacher Report, Kamara said that the Saints would have “beat the (expletive)” out of the Eagles if they had played in the NFC title game.

“Yeah, that’s what I said,” Kamara said. “I don’t care if we’re playing against the Monstars, my team, whatever team I’m on, I’m going to say we’re going to win. Period

“I guarantee with any other guy in this league that feels strongly that they’re on. It’s no disrespect, direct disrespect. I didn’t call direct names. It’s just my team against your team. That’s all I’m going to say about that.”

The Saints play the Eagles this weekend at the Superdome. They are currently 4-5 and fighting to keep their season alive.

Former Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins, who now plays for Eagles, is aware of Kamara’s comments but said they provide no additional motivation.

“We won the Super Bowl,” Jenkins said. “You know, the bulletin-board material is really more for you guys than for us. There’s no more incentive needed than I already have.

“I’ve got a laundry list of reasons why I want to be excited for this game. One, because it’s our next game. Two, our season is kind of in the balance and we need it. I don’t need any more motivation.”

Ruh roh. I hope Kamara didn’t just jinx us.

Wish Jenkins would have worked out here. Seems to be a focused individual.

It's been quoted quite a few times but to Jenkins own admission, us not resigning him is what inspired him to get his game back on track.

He got lazy and complacent in NO, and he most probably doesn't live up to his contract & fades away had we resigned him.

Kamara is a monster.

Listen to Alvin I think he is right on that.

They couldn't have played anywhere near as badly as the 10 second high Vikings did stinking up the NFC Championship

Getting to the SuperBowl among 31 other teams involves a lot of factors, one of them is Luck and on that fateful day the Vikes had Dumb Luck.

This game is going to be difficult. Armistead being out doesn't help. The real issue isn't that we are not better than Philly, we are. The problem is when you get handed teams. We are getting handed Philly coming off a loss to Dallas where they are, for all intents and purposes, playing for their season. Getting ahead early would be a huge help. This could be our most difficult game to date.
