The one with the tackle if roddy white, that game was nuts. I was mad for a while after that one.

Can't shut up about it because it isn't going to happen. Neither of them.

Quote:The Saints will take some chances, but Ryan has been spectacular against the blitz.

“He’s smart and he’s accurate,” Vitt said. “He’s really blossomed under (offensive coordinator) Dirk Koetter and this offense. He knows where he wants to go with the ball. … We’re not only going to have to have a good rush to disrupt his rhythm, but we’re going to have to have the best coverage that we’ve had all year long.”

Good luck with that.

Were you aware of the fact that the eagles ran 17 plays inside the 20 and only gain yardage on one of those? That's where the improvement has been most apparent. Still not good, but I feel good enough to beat the Falcons in the Dome on Sunday.

The Eagles have had redzone woes since week 1!!!!! What dont you get about this? They had redzone woes against the Browns.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the Eagles lead the NFL in red zone possessions with touchdowns.

I was talking about turnovers really. I dont know about that stat. Would have to check, but I recall about 4 turnovers in redzone from the Eagles this year without checking the stats.

- Fumble against Zona
- Fumble against Ravens (twice) - One for Vick and one for Mccoy
- Int against the Saints

They get that touchdown or field goal instead of a pick 6, different game. I'm not saying the Saints didn't capitalize, but to use the Eagles as a barometer for an "improving" defense is severely lacking.

Sean Payton going to Dallas, lol.

And Philly is 26th in redzone efficiency this year.

There's been more than that. There was a Vick fumble into the end zone against the Steelers. An interception in the end zone against the Browns.
