From what I've seen, seems like the saints hit their peak mid-season and have been training off.. exact opposite for eagles, we'll see. No one mentioning eagles have better d-line and o-line than saints as well

You are vastly underrating both of the Saints' lines.

We'll play the game and then tell you how wrong you are after, since no amount of talking will convince you otherwise, I'm sure.

Eagles might be better on offense since Saints raped them in November but they're sure as frick not better on defense.

The concern on my point is that the Saints have largely seemed to lose their mojo on offense. Pittsburgh was better but not near where we were when we played Philly the first time.

Hope we get it back.

Anyone remember/attend this game? I was given tickets so we went. The tix were folding chairs behind the top row of the Dome.

the 4th quarter was quite the shite-show

Eagles 7 0 3 26 36
Saints 7 10 3 0 20

The Eagles overcame a 20-7 Saints lead late in the third quarter by scoring 26 points in the final period. New Orleans scored first on running back Craig Heyward's 1-yard touchdown run, but it was countered with Philadelphia quarterback Randall Cunningham's 57-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Fred Barnett. The Saints then went ahead 17-7 before halftime with kicker Morten Andersen's 35-yard field goal and wide receiver Quinn Early's 7-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Bobby Hebert. The two teams exchanged field goals in the third quarter, and the score was 20-10, New Orleans, going into the final period.

With less than 11 minutes left in the game, Cunningham connected with wide receiver Fred Barnett for a 35-yard touchdown completion. Then on the first play of the Saints' next possession, Eagles linebacker Seth Joyner intercepted a pass to set up running back Heath Sherman's 6-yard touchdown, giving Philadelphia the lead, 24-20. After New Orleans got the ball back, Eagles defensive lineman Reggie White sacked Hebert in the end zone for a safety. Philadelphia kicker Roger Ruzek then added a 39-yard field goal, and 19 seconds later, defensive back Eric Allen intercepted Hebert and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown.
