And everyone was upset at all of the fluffing that the Eagles got from the media last week.
Ok, sarcasm off. No surprise. We lost head to head with them, we're on the road, they've got a bye week, we've got a short week, they're the big Inspirational Story of the year. Time for the Eagles to take care of business again.
"Philly fans are great....It's the only place where you pull up on the bus and you've got the grandfather, the grandmother, the kids and the grandkids - everybody flicking you off. At other stadiums, they give you the thumbs-down. Here, they give you the middle finger.”
— Michael Strahan
"No one likes us, no one likes us, no one likes us, we don’t care, we’re from Philly, F—-ing Philly, No one likes us, we don’t care!”
- Jason Kelce with the best championship speech ever
Wel, I'm not predicting a win this week either. Hoping for it, but I realize that we might just get our clocks cleaned.
We lost last time, and we had McNabb and Lito. Now we don't, Hollis is back in there for them and fresh, which is big (no pun intended), and Bush is really developing. They have three good receivers that we have to deal with, and we seem to stuggle with the big-uns. Bottom line, we are going to have our hands MORE than full. Playing in their house, after they had a bye, I'd be surpised at ANYONE outside of Philly who picked us.
I honestly don't know why, but I feel pretty confident about this game.
Look, not a damned one of us expected to get this far when we lost 5. This is all gravy at this point. We've already exceeded expectations, and aren't under the pressure.
They've got to deal with being the favorites.
I love being the underdog. Our guys are rolling right along right now, and I think they'll be loose. The Saints haven't played a meaningful game in quite a while, and this club has a lot of new players this year. I think the time off might effect them a bit more than a veteran club, with some playoff experience. So, while I'm sure it's nice to be rested, they could very easily be out of sync.
I like being the underdogs too, wouldn't have it any other way. But this thread is about people picking against us..........we ARE UNDERDOGS. Of course we are picked against.

Losing Tapeh just makes things worse, BTW.
The Eagles have no chance of being favored the rest of the way out, unless Seattle somehow wins.
But you mention losing Tapeh as an issue, I thought the guy was just held out of practice.
not just CNNSI. look at cbs sportsline. all of them picked the Saints, even the Harmon Forecast picked them to win, us to cover. I know all of the ESPN guys are gonna pick them too, even Jaws

I hope EVERYONE picks the Saints. Give the Birds some of that Univ of Florida mojo!
