Saints/Eagles ... history with Saints

Quote:
Since the league went to the current playoff format in 1990, the team with the extra week to prepare for the divisional round is 28-4 in the NFC. Three of those four upsets have occurred in the last five years, starting with the Eagles' victory at Chicago on Jan. 19, 2002.

History means nothing to these Saints. The days of Haslett and Mora and Bum are gone.

Sounds like a bad law firm: Haslett, Mora & Bum

I have no idea what you are talking about --

this "history" is a good thing. did you read anything that was quoted or the article that was linked? The advantage is heavily favored towards the Saints.

The Eagles absolutely got screwed by the schedule to have to play a team off a bye week with only six days to rest between games.
That said the Eagles got screwed with 3 divisional road games at the end of the season...and they still won all three games!

I do have to admit that I like this part of the story.

It's no different from playing the Sunday after a Monday night game. The Eagles were 3-0 on Mondays this season and won the following Sunday each time.

That is even funnier when it appears to be coming out of an ostrich.
