Saints at Eagles - Game thread

Some crazy games today

 

[DutchBird]

Now I want to see the defense to keep it going. Hard to think what to make of this game, seeing as this is the Saints. THat said, they did play bad against some bad teams... This - at least - offers some hope.

And after a previous TD was reversed Atl is beating Wash again...

 

[Wings]

And almost a pick 6! THURMOND!!! WOW Marcus Smith hit Brees!!! Holy Shit!

 

[Iggloo]

Marcus Smith with the pressure, nice!

 

[DutchBird]

Marcus Smith sighting...

 

[Wings]

Our backup Linebackers are solid. I'm so glad they brought Najee Goode back....Dude can play.

 

[Wings]

WTF! We gave up a TD on last play!

 

[DutchBird]

Yeah, bad play by Maragos and Rowe.

 

[Wings]

ATLANTA WINS!!!!

 

[Darth Dawkins]

lol at worst we are a game back

 

[Four4Four]

Oh shit! They led the time of possession. A chance a commin boyz

Overall pretty good game. Best thing about it was the Oline played much better. I don't care how bad the saints are, getting a game like that under their belt has to feel good with the way our RB's normally get met in the backfield. If they can play as good as this or a little better I think the offense will continue to improve.

I really hate seeing the drops though... It's been huge this whole season and definitely cost us the Atlanta and Washington games.

 

[Wings]

Damn, I'm a Patriots fan for 3 hours!!!

 

[Iron Eagle]

Damn, I'm a Patriots fan for 3 hours!!!

Just do what I do and hope for absolute chaos.

Bradford was protected today! The O line has my respect! Cox was outstanding as well. Good to see Celek
catching passes again. Kelly got everybody involved. All in all a great team effort.

 

[old duke]

Super bowl!

It's nice to get back into the win column ... the drops have to stop though. Bradford made some bonehead throws, but settled down and did well after his 2nd pick. The D was great and the OL blocked well. Hopefully this gives the team some confidence moving forward.

Ohh and Nick Foles' #'s today since many were doing the Foles is great dance last week:
11-30 for 141 1 TD (an extended hand off to Tavon Austin) and 4 Int's.

I didn't think our defense was great....but it was decent today. I'm very concerned with the fact that we are getting no rush from our outside backers. What has happened to Barwin and Graham? I thought Bradford looked Confident today. He made some real nice throws. He needs to cleanup those redzone mistakes, but overall I thought he did well. I do not like what I see from Demarco Murray at all. He runs almost lethargic like. He does not run downhill, and he does not run behind his pads. He also seems to wanna stretch everything out rather than cutting it up inside. Finally they used my boy Josh Huff. The kid has a ton of talent, he needs to be utilized in the same capacity that Minnesota used Percy Harvin for years. The offensive line had a very very good game. I actually saw Chip coaching today! The man was also pissed off! I thought Maxwell also had a very good game. I was highly disappointed once again with the way we continue to drop catchable passes. Overall I was pleased with the victory.
