No NFC team wants the Eagles in its house (1 Viewer)

[GoldenWarrior]

Tis the season to identify visitors you would rather not see on your doorstep. And the No. 1 visitor NFL teams would like to avoid this January is Andy Reid's Philadelphia Eagles. Trust me, they will raid your fridge, mess up your beds and aim poorly in the bathroom.


This is why you don't want the Eagles in your team's house, and it's why the Giants are looking forward to going to Philly like a trip to their mother-in-law's.


They've been making a lot of noise.
The Eagles -- clang, bong, boom! -- have been the noisiest team in the NFC, winning five straight.

Quarterback Jeff Garcia's fiery leadership has given this team a jolt of energy, and the adjustments the team made in offensive philosophy because of Garcia have put the Eagles in a sweet groove. "When you do certain things offensively well, then the defense can do certain things," Reid says. "It works hand in hand. You're not playing from behind and the offense is controlling the ball a little better, which allows the defense to do some things in the blitz game. It's both groups working together."

Remember how the Saints defeated the Falcons, the Eagles, and the Cowboys, which all of them were in a hot streak?

It amazes me how much everyone give a **** about media hype. You'd think that people would blow it off having seen how many times the media is wrong. It's all about the flavor of the week......

Ask the Eagles about their recent visit to the Dome in October? Didn't turn out so well.

I'll gladly welcome the Eagles to our dinner table- and then eat them.

DO you really think EAGLES FANS would have a chance to make any kind of noise in OUR DOME?
I sure dont think us SAINTS fans would ever let the eagles fans make more noise than us in our own home sweet DOME

We beat the Eagles earlier in the year, we will beat them again if we play them in the playoffs. They have played good but have not exactly been playing teams on fire. In that 5 game streak they beat the Panthers, Giants, Cowboys, Falcons and Redskins. These teams have a combined record of 15-25 during the second half of the year. They beat the a struggling Panthers team, a struggling Redskins team, a struggling Giants team, a struggling Atlanta team and a struggling Dallas team. Of that 15-25 record that the opponents have 7 of the wins came from playing each other (ie Atlanta vs Washington) and somebody has to win.

All this attention and confidence surrounded the Eagles is setting up a perfect situation for the Giants to knock them out of the playoffs. And personally, I can't wait.

It sure is. It looks just like the Romomania, the Colts talk of being undefeated, the Giants after they knocked off the Panthers, Seattle, etc. The only problem is Manning is terrible and the Giants have so many problems in the locker room but I still wouldn't be surprised if the Giants pull the upset.

The Eagles worry me the most but not because of Jeff Garcia and their winning streak. Its that massive offensive line that concerns me. If we don't get a lead on them I could see the Eagles O-Line wearing out our defensive line with the running game. The Saints had trouble with the Redskins and Ravens and both have huge offensive lines. If I were game planning against the Saints, I would try and run the ball and keep our offense off the field.
