2013 WC - No. 6 New Orleans Saints at No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles, Sat. 8 p.m. ET (NBC)

c'mon smeags. that was weak. if i need to explain it further to you ................ are there not MANY stadiums in this league where the weather this weekend would be above 40 degrees? Brees plays BETTER on the road when the weather is above 40 degrees. If this game were in san francisco or tampa or someplace warm, there wouldn't be as much concern about the saints 'not being in the dome'. do you understand now or do you want to just argue for no reason?

 

i agree with you on that kurt .. i think this game is going to be a great one. i still think its a toss up.

 

who gives a heck about other stadiums this weekend? thats irrelevant. the reason the road record is being brought up "for the most part" IS because of the temps that the saints will face saturday not the road record in general. (which stinks too) and cant be overlooked but again its about the cold temps and wind.

 

yeah but the cold air comes in when someone opens the door.


all kidding aside though the factors on both sides make this out to be a great matchup. now if it ends up being a blowout i just hope the eagles are celebrating it. (nothing personal kurt)

 

ok, smeags. whatever. you always get red-assed before a big game for the eagles so i will just let you do your thing.

 

i love you capt.

 

Heard today that dome teams in the playoffs are 3-22 when the temperature is below 35 degrees.

 

Hate stats like that. Means nothing, especially when the opposing QB is a sure bet HOFer.

 

I'm just hoping the Beagles get creamed. :) at Smeagle.

 

Even if that HOFer struggles in those situations? It could mean something. I hope it means something. Need something to tip our way if you just think of Brees versus a Billy Davis defense. That stat is interesting even if it means nothing for this game.

Chip has done a phenomenal job, no matter what happens Saturday night. It's playing with house money. It will essentially be two playoff games at the very least for him to learn from in his rookie season. I think he's highly intelligent and has learned tons about what he needs to do going into next season and beyond. The future is bright.

 

Saints are 0 - 5 on the road in playoffs.

 

The saints lost those games cause they werent the better team that day.

 

smeags,is snow in the forecast for the game saturday?

 

Weather.com currently shows zero chance of precipitation Saturday night.

 

No Wolff at practice today. Screw.

 

Yeah, but it's supposed to be colder than a bill collector's heart out there. We're getting that system in Dallas tonight. Up to 70 today, but not out of the 40s tomorrow, with a 30 mph north wind.
