  • Looks like McNabb has been ruled out for this game and Kolb will get his first ever start
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:10:36 PM
  • The fans at the Linc can be tough on their QB's so for his sake, I hope Kolb can come through today

  • Go saints!!!

  • Let's go birds . Let's shut everyone up about mcnabbs ribs and prove we don't rely on him and his chunky soup. Obviously he didn't eat enough last week.

  • The Saints will wipe the field with the Eagles.

  • Drew Brees should have more of a challenge from the Eagles defense - unlike the Lions, Philly has some solid CB's
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:12:49 PM
  • I'll be back closer to game time to break down some more of the match ups
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:14:15 PM
  • Let's go birds! No reason why we can't beat up on naw'lins this week. Watch out Drew, we are coming for you!

  • Kolb is fine and even if he isn't Garcia can handle, we need to pressure Brees that's going to make the difference

  • Kolb has had chances to prove himself but it hasn't quite worked out but Garcia is solid insurance
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:25:00 PM
  • I liked Garcia he went 5 and 1 that year he was with Philly, he might get a chance today to never know GO EAGLES

  • Geaux Saints! Brees is going to be dropping bombs on phillie all day!

  • People expecting a blow out with no McNabb and the Saints' potent offense but I think the game will play out differently
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:36:13 PM
  • Hello one and all
    by A_E_M at 9/20/2009 4:37:22 PM
  • EAGLES. All the way.

  • Thanks for stopping by, this is my first live blog today I will also be blogging the Cowboys / Giants game
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:37:58 PM
  • Hmm, you think so? I got a feeling that if the Saints go up quick its going to be a long day for the Eagles
    by A_E_M at 9/20/2009 4:38:04 PM
  • After last week everyone expecting the saints to light it up but the Eagles defense is far better than the Lions
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:38:35 PM
  • They managed to force 7 turnovers last week and Jim Johnson pressure is still in effect even though he is not with us anymore
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:39:13 PM
  • Of Note: Philadelphia leads the all-time regular season series with New Orleans by a 15-9 margin
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:39:44 PM
  • @A_E_M : The Eagles may not come out with a win but I do think they will put up a fight
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:41:27 PM
  • Eagles D much better than the Lions Brees is going to hit the sack early
    by frankthompson1 via email at 9/20/2009 4:43:04 PM
  • @frank: thats exactly what I'm thinking
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:43:16 PM
  • On the Saints side, it wasn't just Brees who had a career night but also Mike Bell
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:45:29 PM
  • He racked up over 140 yrds on the ground in the absence of Pierre Thomas who should get some carries today
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:46:06 PM
  • I will stand by my comment, with a new QB if the Saints go up early it's going to be a long day for Philly
    by A_E_M at 9/20/2009 4:46:32 PM
  • The eagles r going to win.....
    by menpro via email at 9/20/2009 4:46:35 PM
  • And Kolb is very accurate when he gets a little time
    by frankthompson1 via email at 9/20/2009 4:46:45 PM
  • Fly Eagles fly!!

  • Some of you know that the Eagles are my team so I have my fingers crossed :)
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:48:20 PM
  • Looks like the Eagles are going with only 4 WR's for the game. Also they activated Vick so he was available to practice but he wont get to see any in game action until week 3 at the earliest
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:52:22 PM
  • Yea kolb just needs some playin time to prove himself. Once the birds defense shuts down their offense and gets ahold of drew this should be a brees
    by msavagio via email at 9/20/2009 4:52:37 PM
  • The Saints are not going to make it easy though, the rookie will be tested I am sure they will bring the pressure early and often not letting him settle into a rythm
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:53:13 PM
  • A few converted plays early in the gam will go a long way to help Kolb's confidence
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:54:00 PM
  • Almost ready for kick off - throw in your predictions now
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 4:56:38 PM
  • I'm curious to see how drew will play against a solid eagles defense..

  • Eagles need to create some turnovers today, corners and safeties need to bring their A game
    by frankthompson1 via email at 9/20/2009 4:58:47 PM
  • The birds also have home field advantage and the Fans who can be boisterous enough to throw off even the better QB's
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 5:00:15 PM
  • This is about to be a long game for Philly
    by hobgoblin7 via email at 9/20/2009 5:00:36 PM
  • Sheldon Brown donned a Jason mask as he runs onto the field - trying to be intimidating I guess
    by Nat at 9/20/2009 5:02:28 PM
  • Die eagles die!!
    by Bjg at 9/20/2009 5:03:23 PM
  • Eagle d will keep them in this one and d Jackson will lead them to victory. Fly eagles fly

  • I'm on a frickin plane can't even see the game right now, and they are about to tell me to turn off my phone
