After seeing the Eagles' Defense this last Sunday in Dallas, I'm a little nervous on how our Saints will fair. There are a few Eagles factors that I do like though:

With the Vikings winning last night, the Eagles have no more playoffs hopes. They are out of the race and I'm hoping this will alter their lineup against us this upcoming weekend. We all know McNabb is injury prone and whether the Eagles decide to keep him or trade him - they need him healthy to successfully do either of the two. This makes me think the Eagles may hold Donovan back this weekend... and let's be honest, if you are wanting to see what you have in your backup QBs - the Saints are a good team to test out a QBs' arm... considering that we rank towards the bottom of the NFL in pass defense.

If the Saints can win this matchup against the Eagles, then they face the defeated Bears - who can't put up points and way out of the wildcard race. The Bears don't have the passing game a team needs to really rip apart the Saints.

Hang in there Saints! Don't pull a Petrino - FINISH STRONG !
