NFL GDT: 2018 NFC Divisional Round: (1) New Orleans Saints vs (6) Philadelphia Eagles

[Fish on The Sand]

That was dumb to decline that hold. 4th and 1 near midfield with the Saints opens you up to get faked or for them to actually just go for it

I was initially surprised they didn't just go for it. Absolutely baffling decision to give them a 4th and one. If you can't stop them on 3rd and 11 then you don't deserve to stop them anyways.

The Saints offensive line has not looked this bad in a game I can recall in a very, very long time.​

 

[Fish on The Sand]

At what point do the Eagles consider keeping Foles over Wentz?

The idea seems insane to me but like, you can't argue with results. Foles just wins despite the fact Wentz is the better QB.

Like if they somehow go to another super bowl. All hypothetical since this game isn't over, but still.

It's not like they weren't winning with Wentz. He was what, 11-3 last season before the injury?

4th down TD! Kirkwood!

 

[Roboturner913]

take the points Sean

 

[GKJ]

Keith Kirkwood is #TempleTuff

 

[EpochLink]

Clutch play call.
TD Saints

 

[Roboturner913]

I still don't like the decision, but it worked out

 

[Pestilence]

Damn that sucks.

 

[GKJ]

Win 3rd down

 

[GKJ]

Saints might not be getting home with 4, but not blitzing seems to be working.

 

[GKJ]

Brees needed to take that step up sooner

 

[Roboturner913]

If Chris Long played the Saints every week, he'd be the best player in the history of the NFL. Something about this guy when he plays against the Saints, a switch goes on and he goes beast mode.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Jeffery is that dude.

 

[Get North]

Brandon Brooks out indefinitely. That's gonna hurt the run game a lot. Seumalo has been playing well though as LG.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Ertz should have had that.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I guess a pyramid of 1$ bills wasn't enough for a strong 1st half from the Saints

 

[SniperHF]

Saints are getting at least 3 from this last minute aren't they.

 

[GKJ]

Fletcher Cox is back

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Brees got whacked.

 

[Roboturner913]

that's the first time I've seen Ted Ginn ever high point a ball

 

[GKJ]

Well I'll take 14-10 considering the start of the game

 

[Roboturner913]

Considering how this started I'll definitely take 14-10 but the Eagles get the ball first to start the second half. It's a lot to overcome. Saints really put themselves in a big hole.

 

[Halladay]

Win the 2nd half, win the game.

 

[Roboturner913]

Saints have to figure out how to block the middle of the Eagles DL. Peat looks terrible. Armstead and Ramczyk aren't looking so hot either.

If I were the Eagles I'd start blitzing. The Saints OL does not look coordinated today and if you can blitz and keep Thomas and Kamara under wraps for just a couple seconds, you've won the down.
