What’s up with everyone chalking up a visit to Philly as a cakewalk?

If i’m not mistaken, the Eagles defense is pretty legit. Additionally, what did everyone see from our offense in Tampa today that makes them feel certain we can go into cold arse Philadelphia and light up the scoreboard?

save the talk about the playoff game in 2013, entirely irrelevant

I’ll admit this road is easier, but with the talk here you’d think Philly shouldnt even bother showing up

Nobody is saying that. Its just the better alternative, by far

Better than a trip to Minny. The Rams thought so too.

It's not but it's a lot better than playing Minnesota

I’m not

I rather play at Minnesota but the eagles offense looks blah

Both of those teams have decent D

We can definitely beat either team though

I’m more concerned getting by Carolina first

Cakewalk? Who says?

It's simply the better of the 2 scenarios.

Lol, no it's not.

We get a harder opponent in the wildcard round. An opponent we'll being trying to beat for the 3rd time this season.

Then we'll have to win back-to-back road games against Philly and Minnesota/LA.

This was an extremely shitty loss. About a 10% chance the Saints win the NFC at this point.

I think people just think it's an easy game now that Wentz is out. But, that's completely wrong. Foles isn't a bum, but it's more about their defense. They have solid RBs and other good parts on their offense, but their defense is good. Especially their defensive line.

I don't know about that. Philly outside on a frozen windy hard grass field or the Vikings indoor on turf?

For some reason, I can see the Saints putting up points in the Vikings dome. In freezing arse Philadelphia against that defense? Not so much.

We aren’t the same team from week 1. No clue why this board is so chickenshit afraid of Minnesota. Idk, i’m not running around celebrating about having to beat a rival now THREE times, win in Philly, and STLL have to play Minnesota potentially.

No the Panthers aren't. Teams that played in the playoffs after one got swept in the regular season saw the 2-0 team win the third time 13 out of 20 times.

The Falcons are beating the Rams so it won't matter

The way we play, this year bad weather may not be that bad. We're better running than throwing. Bad news is, on D we're not looking great against the run currently with so many injuries.
