everyone is saying the Saints won't be able to win. I am freaking out cause I know our team is darn good! Who else can't wait till the game starts? Geaux Saints.
 
JT Curtis just picked the Eagles on the Channel 6 Saints show.....


If everyone was picking the Saints then I'd be REALLY worried.

Is that a rhetorical question? Just freeze me until game time. I cant take this anxiety.
 
Only 24 more hours. I feel like a 5 year old on Christmas Eve!
 
it'll be a great game, the saints willm play awsome ball and win going away in the second half

Breaking News: everyone is picking the Saints! ALmost every media analyst is picking them. They are favored in Vegas. I know the Saints play their best when they are the underdogs, but they aren't the underdogs come this week. From past experiences, the Eagles have played very well in that role. That's why I was nervous going into the game last week. Now that we are the underdogs, it feels a little bit more comfortable.
 
I am PUMPED. I feel like I am about to play.

LoL yea.. I'm a wreck for sure.. And I live all the way up here in Shreveopolis.. yea I've been a fan for 30+ years.. and I'm as excited as can be.. But for some reason, I have a feeling this all must pale in comparison to 1) the Saint Players and 2) the folks who live down yonder.

I'm rootin' for ALL OF YA GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Naw Saints are still the underdogs no matter what, everyone is pretty much going back on what they said earlier and saying Saints have no playoff experience and Eagles have plenty plus Championship experience, Eagles were only underdogs after we beat you guys the first time, before hand ya'll were set to head to the playoffs and superbowl with no problem, Then McNabb gets injured and your QB situation goes into Pandemonium, Garcia Shut Mouths, Gained respect and carried that team on his back to the Playoffs and now Eagles are back in the Spot-light, Everyone is expecting another Ravens game with the Saints as far as the last bye we had. it's gonna be a Nerve Recking game, i just know it, i think this game will be a VERY good game.
 
I don't think the Saints will ever have a game where they feel more pressure than the Monday night game against Atlanta. Every player on that team thought that they were playing not just for themselves, not just for the fans in the Dome, but for a whole city, a whole region even. They were playing for everybody who had lost a loved one, everybody who had lost their homes and all of their possessions. They were playing for all the people who were still trying to put their lives back together and all the people scattered all over the country who couldn't go home. They all said afterwards that it wasn't enough to just play in that game, they felt they had to win it. THAT is pressure. This is just another big game that good teams play in. Like the Cowboys game. Its going to end up like that one too.
 
I think that if the Saints hold the Iggles on their first 2 or 3 offensive possessions, we'll be in good shape. I would bet the house that the Eagles go deep on their first drive to try and make a quick statement and take the crowd out early. If we can get a nice rhythm going and eliminate the deep play action (i still worry about our secondary more than anything) we'll be fine.
