Twitter: Eagles defense rankings

Honestly, some of these stats surprise me a bit. In other words, their D is sneaky good, if that makes any sense (lol).



What amazes me is the love the Eagles get for beating up bad teams all season but when the Cowboys beat up on bad teams. That's just what it is. Beating up on bad teams. Man the double standard is amazing.

I literally watched the talking heads say that the Cowboys 54-19 win against Indy wasn't as impressive as the Eagles winning by 1 against the same team. For the Eagles it was a "Good team win" for the Cowboys it was "they beat up on a horrible football team with a bad coach"

Its laughable.
 
It’s the real reason why the Eagles are so good. Philadelphia has a complete team. The don’t really have a weakness.

This AND they do not beat themselves, near the top of the league in lowest penalties and turnovers. When you have their talent and play mistake-free ball, the only way to win is to outfight them for 60 mins, NO MISTAKES.

I don't think anyone has called the Colts game impressive for the Eagles. I have seen some try to use our Colts game to knock us but largely ignoring what the Eagles did two weeks earlier. I caught Dan Orlovsky, who is a total Eagles wank by the way having pimped Wentz back in the day like he was the next Brady, ripping the COwboys a few days ago. He was incredulous that Rex Ryan and others were saying the Cowboys were threats to the Eagles. He pointed out the fact we were only up 2 on the Colts as the reason but completely ignored the fact that two weeks earlier, the Eagles were lucky the Colts FG missed a chip shot or the Eagles would have lost.

i think the "impressive" comments were overcoming the adversity at the end and going on the game winning drive - when they didnt have their best day they still found a way to win when it looked like a L.

Exactly........every coach will admit you have at least one, maybe two games like this a year. Game(s) where you were lucky to get out alive.
 
Being first in takeaways is a very significant factor in a team's success. (See last year's Dallas Cowboys)

Not turning the ball over against them is a very significant equalizer. (See last year's Dallas Cowboys playoffs.)

But then how is our win less impressive? We didn't have our best day and then when the 4th Q started, we just beat the living piss out of them offensively and defensively. How's that not as, likely more, impressive than what Philly did? Again for the al bluster about finding a way to win, they really only won because the Colts missed an easy FG earlier and couldn't punch the ball in first and goal from the 4.

I dont think it was "less" impressive but it was just a different type of impressive. I have seen plenty of impressive blondes and brunettes, both impressive me but they are very different :).

I jest...but you have to remember the eagles and NY teams are always going to be the media darlings and the cowboys are always going to be the media draw....its just what it is my friend

Shady McCoy did.

No no, please go back and watch media after that Eagles-Colts game. Both Ryan Clark and Orlovsky said the eagles win versus Indy was extremely impressive because they were able to win when playing ugly.

The colts game is the perfect example to be honest. Eagles got credit for beating them ugly and tough, we got swept aside because they were a bad team.

Now the recent history of both franchises makes it obvious as to why the narrative would be that way, but still doesn’t change the fact that there’s a double standard.
