Saints beat Eagles, reach NFC title game (AP)

sr_news · January 14th, 2007, 03:16 PM

Who needs Mardi Gras when you're one game from the Super Bowl? Deuce McAllister and rookie sensation Reggie Bush gave this battered city a reason to throw itself a party, carrying the New Orleans Saints where they've never been before -- one game from the Super Bowl. To constant chants of "DEUCE!"...

Well this was what I expected, a close hard fought game that we probably wouldn't win, but had a shot to do so.

It was a descent year, much better than anyone thought (considering we were picked to finish last in the NFC East pre-season) especially after Donnie Mac went down and the D lost any and all knowledge of how to play.

Good thing is we wont the NFC East, another title. Bad thing is I didn't think this team, which finished the season on fire, would do much in the playoffs. So we get the title and worse draft picks, kind of bitter sweet.

I am glad that this game ended the way it did. Our offense is in great position O line, Recievers (regardless to what others think), TE's, Running game and hopefully a healthy McNabb. The D is what needs to be overhauled, especially stopping the run which thank god NO exploited. I was afraid the team would take their recent success and improved D into next year not thinking that a LOT of work needs to be done on the Defensive side of the ball.

WTG Fox and broadcasting the NO chick with the "Fuck Da Eagles" shirt on national TV lol.

What a hit on Reggie really early on from Sheldon, WOW.

That hit on Bush was great. I was surprised he got up, and impressed he came back and played strong.

Impressed yes! Happy NO!

How did I know that was coming, by you of course too.

BaldBil · January 15th, 2007, 01:40 PM

My nephew are "Na'wlins" boys so I am happy to see the Saints advance.

Rusty27 · January 15th, 2007, 01:43 PM

Actually I couldn't even watch the end of the game cause I thought the Eagles were going to win.

ssigman · January 15th, 2007, 01:53 PM

it was a good game...glad to see you didn't go hibernate

BtownBeers · January 16th, 2007, 12:46 PM

Nope, not hibernating, my expectations were low, however we had ample opportunities to win this game, we just didn't. I still question not going for it on 4 and 15 and giving them the ball back in hopes of stopping the run we couldn't stop all day, however if we had gone for it and not the "fans" would have been pissed we didn't punt and stop them to get the ball back.

I honestly think the Eagles could have beat the Bears had they won. Woulda coulda shoulda.

well at least now we can get an early start on draft talk
