Here's a stat for you:

Saints: 0-5 away playoff games.

Throw everything else in the trash.

That too.

I'm approaching this post-season like this: show me. I'm not gonna talk smack. I'm not going to make predictions. They just have to show me.

I will say, even though they lost, they at least showed me some fight against the Panthers. I thought they would split with them this year, but I also thought we'd handle business against the Rams.

I've been very impressed with their offense since Foles took over. There is no doubt that Kelly is a great offensive mind. They're gonna attack our D's weak points: mostly safety IMO. The middle of the field .. We have to watch out for guys like Ertz across the middle.

They're gonna score. No doubt. This game will be about our offense taking care of business on the road in a cold, hostile environment. The OL is gonna have to build on the (reasonable) success from last week. If Drew can get some time we will definitely score too.

I apologize for the banana's. Someone put that in because they thought it was funny. I'm definitely not expecting a lot from this game either. I certainly hope the saints come away with a win and I do believe they are capable, however their performance on the road this season has left me with little confidence that they can get the job done. Not to mention I fully expect the Eagles to pull all the rabbits out of their hat for the game and play us very hard. I think most importantly we need to not turn the ball over. The Eagles secondary certainly has weaknesses that Drew can expose if he doesn't throw picks, which he has a reputation for on the road.

With all the focus potentially be on Shady and Jackson, we def. cannot forget about Cooper. I think Cooper is more dangerous than Jackson. His route running is very precise as well as his ability to make those hard earned receptions. He doesn't have Jackson speed but still fast and IMO Eagle's #1 receiver. With that said.....WE GOT THIS!!

WHO DAT!!

He's been held in check the past couple of weeks. Foles seems to like his TEs, Celek & Ertz over Cooper lately

I gotcha... Haven't watched many of their games, just know of Cooper's ability. Let's just say we can't forget/overlook about anyone on their team :)...that way we cover all possibilities.
