NFL's #1 Defense (Eagles) vs. #1 Offense (Saints) ...what's the gamebreaker? (1 Viewer)

[ndcc]

So far, Eagles & Saints are #1 in overall defense and offense, respectively.

What is the difference in this game's outcome?

Drew's best is better than their best.

 

[authentic]

Eagles #1 ranking is over inflated due to playing Jake. So, the difference is Drew Brees.

 

[Broussard_Bullet]

Drew Brees. Nuff Said.

Saints secondary (vis a vis turnovers)
Drew Brees
Saints running game
Saints coverage team

In that order

This game will be decided by offensive and defensive lines.

This game will be decided by offensive and defensive lines.

Actually it will be decided by the score.

Obviously turnovers is important -- but I would say that our pass rush and run defense would be the keys

 

[mikaloyd]

Key injuries. We are entering the game with fewer downgrades on key players than the Eagles. If we leave the game the same way we are golden.

turnovers, followed closely by special teams.

I'm still concerned about our O-line holding up against their D, also. Drew can't be Drew if he doesn't get a little time.....

Drew Freakin' Brees, baby. In fact, I think he's the right answer to any question.

Example: what's 4,527,890 X 3,678,098 ?
Answer: Drew Freakin' Brees.

What's my shoe size? Drew Brees. The secret to world peace? Drew Brees.

You get the point.

I am also concerned.

PK on Sirius brought out a little stat:

Last year we were 2-6 onthe Road; 6-2 at home.

Drew threw 23 TD's at home; 11 on the road;

He mentioned that the Oline timing is a bit off on the road due to crowd noise.

I picked ST play, mainly because if our ST performs like they did last week, i'll be honest we are ******. I think next in line would be turnovers, but lets face it that is important against anyone. This is our first true measuring stick, we have to elimnate the mistakes in order to be takin seriously as a playoff contender.
