 Well the work is over for the New Orleans Saints at least for this week the season is over for the Philadelphia Eagles As we welcome you to the State Farm post-game show the Eagles fall just short 20 to 14 The New Orleans Saints move on to the NFC Championship game and Jimmy This is one where Philadelphia scored the first 14 looked like they were gonna run away with it And then the same got themselves together It's amazing what momentum will do in a ballgame and I credit Sean Payton for changing the momentum because You look at it, you know right off the bat, you know Philadelphia's got you know 14 points They're going in for the third touchdown Lattimore gets the interception Sean Payton goes for it inside of his 35-yard line with the fake putt and then Again on the goal line on the two-yard line rather than taking the field goal He goes for it again gets a touchdown then the Saints get into a roll But if you if I'm sorry if you look at the stat line the first half this team was so evenly met They look like you know, basically the same thing But the second half the Eagles just had so many miscues that they just could not overcome and here's on a 12 12 minute drive You have the pick. I mean a drop pass right there I picked a drop pick that was the opportunity to get off the field here Tate is Underthrown on the incompletion would have which would have been a big play and Aguilar You didn't turn around not on the same page had he turned around another big completion and right here It's a lack of focus by Jeffrey ball goes through his hand through his hands for the pick and that kind of sealed the game But this was a different team in the second half And I give the give the Saints a lot of credit for turning that momentum and keep on keep pushing the second half Didn't look good for them start now the 14 points the biggest blown lead the Eagles have ever had in the playoff game The biggest deficit the Saints have ever overcome in a playoff game So Drew Brees now headed to his third and I've seen championship game two touchdown passes in this victory All right, Greg Olson with us the tight end from the New Orleans St I mean from the Carolina Panthers you've seen the Saints offense run like this before and a day like Michael Thomas had today You've witnessed from the other sideline in the pregame show I think we got a really interesting insight into kind of the mentality of Michael Thomas and I think it came out today Jay focused on he considers himself a fighter You know fighters have their best days on the biggest on the biggest stages and from early in this game You knew when the game was on the line Drew Brees was looking for one place We and it came all to a head on that critical third down conversion third and long He came out looking for Michael Thomas. I mean 12 catches 171 yards and a touchdown in your biggest game thus far This guy's pretty unique and the last time these two teams got together somehow even top today 211 yards receiving the first time they played out and against LA and you know What can you say when your best players play the biggest on the biggest stages? You know you can't ask more than that. That's what you want as Michael pointed out I you know the first half was almost identical statistically and it was almost as if you know the Saints buttered down the stretch of The season and they rested some players and it took a half for them to kind of warm up and Drew Brees warmed up And certainly Michael Thomas warmed up and and this defense and you mentioned it Greg His ability to call plays based on having that kind of a defense and they came through in the second half It's a it's an area in the football field this very seldom attacked anymore and that's that 20-yard deep in I know it takes time, but it's there weekend and week out and thank God the Saints are one team not afraid to go at it And quickly added 2009. Oh, let's not forget Sean Peyton. Why are we surprised remember? He opened the second half up against the coach in Super Bowl what on site? This guy's a gambler it will be a battle of Sean's McVeigh Peyton Jay Glazer just had a chance to talk to the Rams head coach. What's he think of this preview? Yeah, Jesse's Ted Kurt just got up the phone with Sean McVeigh And he said look from that first loss of the season We learned a couple things number one That was our first loss of the entire year when we faced the Saints earlier and that gave us some adversity Which we hadn't had at that point number two now We have a better idea of how to handle that crowd what we're walking into because that dome is Just different and number three man We had a chance we got to thirty five thirty five to deliver a knockout blow and we didn't now we have our chance again All right, so now we know who's playing the NFC championship game. I'll start with you Jimmy Well, you know, it's a replay of the earlier game. They scored 45 points You know, they started out so slow today, you know, you know, they had all the miscues the interception delay of the game Reeves dropped a snap from center drop, you know on a drop back and I think that they'll be in better rhythm this time around You know and of course they've played the Rams. They've beaten the Rams in that dome. They'll start much faster Greg I mean any time you get a chance to see the all-season the top two offenses in the NFC We're clearly the Saints in the Rams and I think for them to have a collision course with it all in the line to go to the Super Bowl as A fan as fans of the game. I'm not sure how much more you can ask for We all saw what a what a shootout that first game was if you're looking for offense this games for you Absolutely, you know, I look for in this game. You want your best players on the field I mean the only player that's missing that contributed throughout the season It's Cooper cup out here in LA with the Rams other than that I mean they did a good job of holding girly to that 68 yards in the first game But watching the adversity that they overcame today Let you know that the Saints once they're in rhythm They are tough to stop and that this defense is the best defense they've had in their run for a long time Sean Payton, they knocked the cobwebs off today. Sean Payton drew breeze Alan Camara Thomas is a monster at over 200 yards in their first meeting and this defense that we talked about it That's why they play for home field advantage and it might be the best home field advantage in football down there in New Orleans Alright top two seeds matching up in the NFC same story in the AFC between the Patriots and the Kansas City Well, if you go back to week six when the Kansas City went up to New England the loss 43 to 40 It was a great game in which my home's brought the team back with four touchdown passes We're gonna see next weekend the greatest offenses machines We've seen all year the four best offensive teams are playing with the exception of Pittsburgh Which didn't make the playoffs, but these four teams I'm telling you this is what the league is built for us what it's designed for us Television wants it used to be the old AFL. This is what you had. What's your honor on punts? Three all that way too much This is the first time in Super Bowl era in the Super Bowl era that the top four scoring offenses during the regular season All made it to the conference Our game will come your way next week coverage starts at one o'clock Eastern the championship of the NFC will be determined The winner will go on to the Super Bowl
