Tune in Sunday at 1:00 PM ET as the New Orleans Saints take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Natasha Alibhai from
Heels in the Huddle will be liveblogging for your enjoyment.
Check out my preview of this game @
heelsinthehuddle.comLooks like McNabb has been ruled out for this game and Kolb will get his first ever start
The fans at the Linc can be tough on their QB's so for his sake, I hope Kolb can come through today
Drew Brees should have more of a challenge from the Eagles defense - unlike the Lions, Philly has some solid CB's
I'll be back closer to game time to break down some more of the match ups
Kolb has had chances to prove himself but it hasn't quite worked out but Garcia is solid insurance
People expecting a blow out with no McNabb and the Saints' potent offense but I think the game will play out differently
Thanks for stopping by, this is my first live blog today I will also be blogging the Cowboys / Giants game
After last week everyone expecting the saints to light it up but the Eagles defense is far better than the Lions
They managed to force 7 turnovers last week and Jim Johnson pressure is still in effect even though he is not with us anymore
Of Note: Philadelphia leads the all-time regular season series with New Orleans by a 15-9 margin
@A_E_M : The Eagles may not come out with a win but I do think they will put up a fight
@frank: thats exactly what I'm thinking
On the Saints side, it wasn't just Brees who had a career night but also Mike Bell
He racked up over 140 yrds on the ground in the absence of Pierre Thomas who should get some carries today
Some of you know that the Eagles are my team so I have my fingers crossed :)
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
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
A few converted plays early in the gam will go a long way to help Kolb's confidence
Almost ready for kick off - throw in your predictions now
The birds also have home field advantage and the Fans who can be boisterous enough to throw off even the better QB's
Sheldon Brown donned a Jason mask as he runs onto the field - trying to be intimidating I guess
