Injured-ravaged Eagles look to save season

Now that No. 1 cornerback Ronald Darby is lost for the season with a torn ACL, the Eagles are in big trouble. Fellow starting corner Jalen Mills has not suited up since suffering a foot injury late last month. Meanwhile, second-year cornerback Sidney Jones hasn’t played since Week 6. This was on full display as Dak Prescott tore apart a depleted Eagles secondary this past Sunday night.

It’s now clear that the 4-5 Eagles will have to rely on the likes of youngsters Avonte Maddox and Rasul Douglas to pick up the slack. Taking on a Saints team that’s averaging 36.7 points per game and in the midst of an eight-game winning streak, this is a less-than-ideal scenario. A loss here to New Orleans could mean the end of Philadelphia’s repeat aspirations. It’s in this that whoever suits up at cornerback must step up. Good luck with that, Philly.

The Saints are next-level ridiculous

Winners of eight consecutive games, New Orleans has an opportunity to pretty much put an end to the Eagles’ repeat aspirations this coming weekend. And at this point, there’s no reason to believe this won’t happen. Drew Brees and Co. rank No. 1 in the NFL in points per game at 36.7. Brees himself has logged 21 touchdowns compared to one interception on the season. Meanwhile, Michael Thomas has caught an otherworldly 90 percent of his targets this season.

Taking on an Eagles team that’s extremely thin at cornerback, we’re pretty darn sure the Saints will dominate on offense. After all, they’ve put up 96 points over the past two games, each one coming against a winning team. That’s just next-level ridiculous right there.

That’s just next-level ridiculous right there.

Payton had better fork to the plunge/dive and split the T-formation or this team might as well go home early. Take Kamara downwind from his right guard and pinned at the 50 - you'll see him work the receiving advantage and get it to his quarterback.

This is the game that worries me. I see this as the "Trap Game"

Not a chance; the Saints are laser focused.
