Tonights Philly vs New Orleans game? Thoughts?

My gut tells me New Orleans will win. Philly has not looked good on both sides of the ball. New Orleans defense will make them look good however.

This is a tough one to speculate on. I know how tough it is to win in New Orleans especially for a struggling team like Philly. On the flip side the Saints deffense is terrible this year, along with all the other issues they have coaching etc. Still Brees gives you a good shot at winning, and combined with home field advantage its the sensible pick. But I'm going to say Philly shows up this game and gets the win. The biggest reason being the fact that their corners should have a lil more success than the Saints will. Golden oppurtunity for Vick to silence his critics.

I have horrible success predicting Philly. Vick should be doing adds for Butterfinger. Their defense has lapses where they have just laid down on the job. Sure they have some decent corners but that amounts to zilch without a good pash rush. I like New Orleans but its gonna certainly be a shootout. Brees is great at home when he can audible in silence. New Orleans 35 Philly 24

Its no secret to anyone what Vick did time in prison for. Just hope he learned his lesson and as far as I can tell he has. But nobody has forgotton...especially avid animal lovers, and I am in no way condoning what he did.

nobody gives a **** that apple CEO's are responsible for conditions so poor overseas's factories have nets to stop people from killing themselves.

Ray Lewis actually killed someone. But no, vick kills some dogs (dogs specifically bred to kill, and eat your face off) and he must be punished. Please, I'm rooting for Vick and I will continue to because he got to play the sport his way for a long time. He was a boss.

I do hope the eagles get out of this rut. It's obviously a coaching issue, and i still think it goes back to reids son dying. Any other career you would have had a month off, unfortunately for reid it was the start of football season.

Yeah I hear ya man. I'm not siding up with either one on this cause I can see both points of view. I happen to like Vick as a football player if you notice some of my previous posts in here. I know that it pissed a lot of people off and almost cost him his career in the NFL. He was made an example of but like I said, I think he learned his lesson. I think besides the obvious reason he disappointed a lot of his fans as far as being a role model for the younger generation with his actions. By the same token, he has also shown how someone can overcome a bad decision and reestablish his image as best possible also. Which I think he has done. The pic was just a pun and not intended to insinuate I dislike the dude. Also nor do I agree with the things he did off the field. I just like watching the dude play ball.

yeah it wasn't directed at you at all. But seriously, i bet what vick did isn't even a crime in a majority of other countries.
