They'd be better if Westbrook and Stallworth could both get on the field.

That is what the farg I'm waiting for, and if it happens or not I'm not too shore of.

[shorebird]

If that would happen on a consistant basis, this offense would be unstopable.

[Eaglez]

Sorry IGY, I'll dumb it down so you can follow -- stating that the Eagles defense is ranked 24th is misleading due to the statistics I cited. The other factors would indicate that they are actually playing better than the 24th ranking in total defense would suggest.

ahhh i see....well then....break out the superbowl shuffle video


btw is the eagles number one ranked offense actually playing worse than the ranking would suggest....or are they fo rilla?

Actually, if you break it down marginally, they are performing at a consistent level. They are ranked #1 in total aggregate yards, and they are ranked #1 in yards per play (6.7 per attempt)

http://www.nfl.com/stats/teamsort/NFL/OFF-TOTAL/2006/regular?sort_col_1=4&_1:col_1=5

So, yeah, they are actually extremely efficient when broken down on a marginal basis.

And I never said that all this equates to a Super Bowl victory, just that I think the total defense and offense stats are misleading, and to get a more accurate picture you have to look at the marginal breakdown and determine if the Eagles are playing efficient football, and right now it seems like they are with a low yards allowed per play on the defensive side and a #1 ranking in the yards gained per play on the offensive side.

shocking you would think that the offense deserves its high ranking while the defense doesnt deserve its low ranking


and im not saying you said superbowl...but you wanted to give a long distance dedication video top the 24th ranked defense...why not the superbowl shuffle?...know what im sayin

[Diomedes]

know what im sayin

Sure: dick all.  Eaglez is being reasonable, talking football. You're being insulting, talking shtein.  His comments are interesting, they help to give some nuance to the picture.  Your comments are assinine and boring, they add nothing to the discussion.

[Cerevant]

Well, Aikman agrees with Eaglez (offense #2, Defense #8) but I guess that doesn't mean anything, since he obviously doesn't know as much about football as our resident football savant, IGY.  Who cares about turnovers and red-zone efficiency...what matters is total yards.

Perhaps we should all just sit quietly and soak in his brilliance...we don't even need to watch the games, since he is so accurate at predicting the future.

[rjs246]

Jesus. This place has a hardon for some IGY today.

[Diomedes]

Don't be jealous.  I'm still hard for you, too.

[rjs246]

Take a number.

[ice grillin you]

the offense has been fantastic

the defense is ranked 24th and has been good...but certainly not good enough to be sending out video dedications


it just cracks me up when homers over analyze the bad numbers to make them look better but take the good numbers at face value and run with them


Eaglez is being reasonable saying what i want to hear

So...yea. I'll bet.

He even revealed that the ongoing issues he's faced the last few months, from a hamstring injury in training camp to an accidental overdose, have driven him to "sit in my house in the dark" instead of having much of a social life.

Yup. Here we go again with the feel sorry for me and my life act. I'm gonna go cry on the Donny Deustch show and explain how hard my life is. Wahhh. Wahhh.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, IGY. I'm just offering some analysis. I offfered the same analysis on the offensive side, using the yards per play to determine how efficient the team actually is. It just so happens that the offense is racking up total AGGREGRATE (that means, whole, IGY) and yards, and they are efficient in their means in getting those yards by leading the league in yard per play.

You can put up straw men (that means misrepresenting someone's argument for the sake of making yourself look and/or feel better) as much as you want, but it just makes you look ridiculous.

[ice grillin you]

less analysis and more common sense would serve you well young jedi

[Tomahawk]

It does seem the Eagles' defense is making more big plays in the form of turnovers than previous years. They (the defense) has at least gotta be scoring more.

[Eaglez]

Take everything at face value and don't examine concepts. Great advice, IGY.
