Saints Vs Eagles

Garcia won't play in this game. Regardless of knowing the playbook already, too much has changed in the last two years to make it possible for him to just step in and be a better option than Kolb. He hasn't worked with many of the current receivers, so the timing and trust would not be there. If Garcia played, he'd be playing street ball.

I think the Saints defense will take care of the Eagles. The run defense has been there the last few years. So while I think Westbrook will get his, I don't think he shreds us. The key will be if the Saints offense can move the ball on the Philly D. I like our chances with Brees making the decisions back there.

To MASTERMIND, I don't see any reason to believe the offensive line won't hold up, they've been doing a good job for the last couple of years. Additionally, Brees is a quick release kind of quarterback. It's not going to be as easy to pressure him into bad decisions as it would be with most quarterbacks.

I tend to agree with islstl. I think our offense scores a couple of times early, then puts the pressure on Kolb to make plays. I think he'll make a few, but largely our defense will hold.

Saints 28, Eagles 20

 

if kevin kolb plays the entire game, the saints will win. the secondary is much, much, MUCH improved. although brian westbrook scares me with the saints new attacking defense. if he breaks containment hes going to have a huge day. But greg williams should be scheming against that as we speak. i mean for god's sake its KEVIN KOLB! plus, hes still going to be hungover celebrating Houstons big win over a #5 okie st.

i predict reggie will have more fumbles than tds.


saints 26-23

 

this has to happen. kolb is one of the worst qbs on a roster imo.

if the saints score early they will force the eagles hand. if the great phili d holds the saints in check, they can have ya tittle running the offense.

this could be a low scoring game which is what the eagles want. or westbrook could go off.

 

if they score 35 today they will average 40 on the season. and they might be super bowl bound.

 

its official at least:

Eagles QB Donovan McNabb out Sunday vs. Saints (cracked rib); QB Kevin Kolb will start

Saints RB Pierre Thomas (knee) will play Sunday vs. Eagles; RB Mike Bell will get start

Designated Fumbler/RB/Slot Guy Reggie Bush will hold a clipboard Sunday vs. Eagles.

 

3 plays
3 passes
3 completions
3 first downs
3 to the TEs

NICE START!

 

Saints march 74 yards for a TD to start. WOW!!!
