I think they realize he's no Jake Delhomme.

I think the wildcard in this game will be the play of our defense...We all know how good the Eagles' defense and our Offense are...Their offense can be scary as well with a healthy McNabb...But one thing our defense has shown the ability to do is force turnovers, throughout preseason and into the Det game, we forced 3 turnovers a game except for the last Preseason game against Miami.
Against another first time starter in Kolb, I really believe we will continue this trend, and hopefully get that first Defensive score that Williams has been calling for...If we force 2 or more takeaways and/or get a defensive score, the Eagles will have a very tough time...JMO
Williams sounds pretty creative....changing things up and not following the norm. This is what we witnessed last week from McDermott as well....some of the things he did with Cole was amazing...up the middle like a LB, etc. I'm excited to see how McDermott gameplans for the Saints. Week 2 will confirm if last week's outcome was just an anomaly (which I truly dont think!), or if we're really in good hands on defense.
The Eagles O didn't look great on Sunday. If I recall correctly, I think they only really had 1 impressive drive. Their D gave them 5 INTs which resulted in either a TD or great field position (most of the time), they got a fumble, and punt returned for a TD.
I'm not saying they aren't a good O, but Sunday wasn't necessarily a good showing for them.
For me the wildcard is the special teams. From what I read the Eagles have very good special teams (I haven't had a chance to see them over here in the UK). We had big problems last week. That's not good. With McNabb out I'm confident we'll outscore the Eagles offensively, but it won't be by much, and poor special teams play could be the difference.
DsebastianEagles? Spam?
You don't think 7 takeaways and a TD is an anomaly? I'm sure your defense is good, but that was a combination of good defense and terrible offense.
Really enjoyed the commentary you are all sharing...nice to see actual football talk instead of unsubstantiated trash.
In all honesty, your O with whoever at QB and Westbrook will be a good matchup with our D as well, and should offer us a fairly good measuring stick to where we have developed.
I do think you guys have a good defense, but last week was an outlier IMO. On 3 of the 4 INTs last week, Delhomme had zero pressure on him and simply made bad throws. On the other INT he threw that was a result of pressure, he tried to throw the ball as he was getting taken to the ground instead of taking a sack (which is just stupid unless your Ben R).
It's definitely looking like it's going to be an interesting match up though.
What happens when The Unstoppable Force meets The Immovable Object?
Whatever. All this crap sounds like the garbage New England has put out for years. "Oh we respect them sooooo much, ooooohhh they're going to be soooo tough".....and they're facing Cinncinati. New England never believed that ****. And if you don't think the Eagles aren't sitting in meetings thinking they're going to knock the shine off Brees and the offense you're kidding yourself.
The Saints offense scares a lot of defenses but I don't think the Eagles are one of them.
