I know we really shouldn't look at the Saints right now- and heck- we should be 5-0 right now... But are we healthy right now? Or are we just getting started? I love that we beat Dallas- But- Is Dallas better than N.O.?

The Cowboys are better than the Saints, but the Saints will A) be at home and B) are playing hard and like they have nothing to lose. The possible emotional letdown factor for the Eagles can't be ignored either. I'd expect the Eagles to win, but it will be a tough game.

And to think that IMHO- we're not even near peeking- There's still alot of issues... But I'd love to see what happens. I don't think there's any Vet on the team that would let and emotional let down happen- Even Trotts had some stuff on this matter and he basicallt said he and many others are to mature to lete it happen like that- I'd like to believe him Chip!

Originally posted by ThoughtProcessThe Saints are a good team. It will not be easy at all. My concern is the emotional letdown after this game. Hopefully Reid and Co. gets the squad in the correct mindset.
And they gave up 400plus yards and 21 points to a Buc team that had scored a total of 27 points in it's first 3 games.
It should be a hard fought game, but unless the Birds have lost some more key guys to injury (Brown, McCoy, Barber, Westy)??? I gotta think they win? I like AR's record on the road vs quality opponents.

some of these x factors are a bit silly sometimes.
birds came off the short week this week, btw.
oh, fwiw -- birds are 3 point road favorites in an early line i saw.Five straight losses, including a crucial one at Dallas on Christmas Day, send them out against Atlanta, needing the win, plus help. -Dr. Z, 8/31/06

I'm not even remotely worried about the Saints. (Of course, I'm just a fan, so I don't have to be) I know they've played very well so far this year, but they're not in our league. The Eagles' offense has just been calmly destroying teams all season. They can't stop us.

the saints are having a 'dream season' because the nfc south a> sucks and b> is playing the afc north but hasnt played the good teams yet.
they have:
edged out an opening day win against an awful browns team,
won by a td against an awful packers team,
handled atlanta in that emotional mnf home opener,
played well but lost against a good panthers team,
and now beaten a bad bucaneers team
the only team listed in there that should finish +500 is the panthers, and they lost to them.
that being said, the saints have a chance to do some damage with their schedule:
host eagles - tough game
bye
hoste baltimore - tough game
at tb - winnable
at pitt - tough game
cin - winable
at atl - tough game
sf - winable
at dal - easy win
wash - winable
at nyg - easy win
car - tough game
we'll see what they're made ofFive straight losses, including a crucial one at Dallas on Christmas Day, send them out against Atlanta, needing the win, plus help. -Dr. Z, 8/31/06
