Also, pretty much shutdown Dez Bryant (while leaving Witten open for big day) save for 1 TD on an all out blitz.
Saints are even more 1-sided than those two teams and don't have a Dez, Marshall or Jeffrey on the outside. Graham is a match-up nightmare, but he has disappeared at times. At NE and at Carolina come to mind. So, I think there is a blueprint for them to slow Graham. If Eagles offense comes out clicking, the Saints will completely abandon the run too. No reason to think the Eagles won't move ball up and down the field if they lean on Shady McCoy early and often.
Like the Eagles -2.5, but Brees vs their pass D does make me a little nervous.
From a typically pessimistic Eagles
Ummmm, couple of things here.......
Out of 32 teams, let's see, how do the defenses rank?
Cowboys - D.F.L.
Then the Vikings at #31 worst
Bears - #30
Maybe this is why Foles looked like such a "stud" the last couple of weeks? Not only that, both the Bears and CowGirlz were playing with a skeleton crew on defense. Lots of guys signed that week, etc......
Oh, but also, the very next in futility, Philly is at #29 worst..... Keep that in mind since the Saints offense ranks not only #4 in total offense, but they're #2 in passing right behind Prince Peyton......
Now, let's take a look at another part of your quote:
{No reason to think the Eagles won't move ball up and down the field if they lean on Shady McCoy early and often.}
Yeah, Saints "D" is #4 in the league, and against the pass? #2, right behind the "Defensive Juggernaut" that is the Seattle Seahawks......
If you truly believe the Eagles are going to be putting up monster points against this, as you say "1-sided" team, and shutting down the second best passing attack in the league with their crap "D", I've got some cheap ocean front property to sell you - - in New Mexico......
Good Luck!!!!!!!!
Check your numbers fella...not true! 
It's all good in the hood - no Dr. Dogs "Hate, Hate" here - - "eyyyyyyyyy"
