Not only that, but a few players ( Kamara) went on record and said that they would have beaten the Eagles last season if they played. This is a very arrogant team. This would be the ultimate kick in the nuts if we beat them in thedome. Duck Shawn Peyton.

Now that's bulletin board material!!!!!! Could ofs would ofs Kamara, you'll have ur chance Sunday. You better perform well because this it wont be a 49-7 beating

Saints ran for very little recently against the Steelers and Cowboys.

Two good run defending teams like us.

Against the Steelers 19-57 week 16
Against the Cowboys 19-65 week 13

Both of those teams have a far superior secondary to ours and I think that is what the difference will be. While I will match our front 7 with the either of them I can's say the same with the back half. We are going to need to control the ball to beat the Saints. We cannot engage in a shootout.

We would slaughter them in a shootout. That is not the way they will try to take this game.

The Steelers secondary sucks. Brees threw for 313 against them and he hasn't thrown for more than 200 yards in any other of the last 6 games.

I hope you are right but I just done see it. Watching the Bears game they were able to figure out the defensive scheme and were doing a lot of double moves and were eating us alive. Fortunately we have a great front 7 so getting pressure on Brees is going to be key.

I'm more worried about the short passing game than the long one. Gotta keep both backs contained in the passing game.

No big plays, lots of short stuff.

10-100-1 is a winning line for us out of him.

This is all in both teams coaches hands. Both teams have good players. What will the coaches do different from last time? What did Dallas do to expose the saints offense, they have not been the same since that game. Saints have rest and home field eagles have revenge and are on a roll, should be fun!

We have to keep Brees off the field, and minimize his opportunities in the pass game. If we can control the line of scrimmage and not allow their pass rush to get going, sustain long drives, we have a good a chance to beat these suckers. Make the game ugly like we did with the Bears and don't allow them to get into a rhythm.

Correcto mundo! That is the main reason why the Stillers didn't make the playoffs.

Agreed 100%. I don’t think Brees can throw deep right now. He’s either hurt or just feeling the wear of a full season at age 39.

Either way, we need to take away some of the short passes to Kamara and Ingram and anyone else. Our linebackers and Malcolm Jenkins are going to have to have a great game.

I agree - but I also think we need to make the most of our opportunities. If we have a 12 play, 70 yard, 6 minute drive but it ends in a FG...that’s good but it can’t become the norm. We’re going to need touchdowns. I’m looking for big games from Golden Tate, Ertz, and Goedert. I think that’s the major weakness of this Saints D.

Can someone find the quote? I believe he said they would have beaten the shit out of the Eagles. But that also didn’t seem to come into play back in week 11.

On top of that, Dallas has a better secondary than the Eagles this year but I wouldn’t consider them elite. The biggest disparity is in the linebacking corps. But if Bradham continues to play well and Hicks is healthyand plays up to his potential, they can be pretty good in their own right.

Love our linebackers right now. If Brees/Payton are afraid to take chances downfield then we can sit on everything short. Secondary has been tackling really well with these new guys.

Agreed. Tre Sullivan getting a lot of playing time and he’s laid out some big hits and nice tackles.

Part of that maybe due to the Cowboys constantly have a pass rush every down, which means Breed has to rush his throws. Not sure how much better their secondary is to ours. Anyeay, we need to be able to get pressure on Breed to have a chance in this game.

I’d put our pass rush above Dallas.
