Landmark Win

[Eskimo]

14.8 points per game...4th in NFL...Its only gonna get better.

Anyone know what that statistic FD/G means?

By my accounts the defense has allowed:

24 to SD
13 to Wash
24 to SF
19 to Oak
3 to Philly

That would be 83 points in 5 games = 16.6 points/game. As a whole (adding in two scores allowed on offense) we have allowed 97 points in 5 games = 19.2 points/game.

FD/G = first downs per game...

We are pretty mediocre so far in every defensive stat (from 10-16), but we are 4th in sacks and 4th in first downs per game (i guess since most teams get their yardage in one fell swoop ala both Mosses).

We are way down in tunrovers!!! - We're averaging 1.2 a game - THIS MUST BE IMPROVED!!!!

Good thing is... I think we're getting better

 

[dwmyers]

Where is J.P. I am lost man on that list?????

He has a QBR around 55ish. Probably too low on the list to even be considered.

 

[Nors]

After 24 hours of reflection. Past the King Kong induced like rampage and adrenaline of a crucial early big game.


*We kicked the Eagles *** in every aspect of the game. We really, really manhandled them.

*The rest of the NFL took notice - national audience witnessed this beating.

*Drew Bledsoe in action 5 games in has taken this team over. His outburst with Key was critical - he established who's team it is - His. You want the damn ball - protect it.

* This is the best Rookie class I've seen since 75. Canty, Spears, Rat are 3 serious 3-4 DE Type football players. Ware getting better - we need to get him on the edge more but situations dictate him manning up OT's - something he's not ready to do yet full time. Burnett seeing field. What can I say about my boy Petitti. I was hyping this guy last December into Senior Bowl/Combine. Injury and weight issued dropped a gem in our lap. TT an UDFA along with Peeper - amazing!

*I liked Parcells attacking yesterday - the beginning of more. We have the weapons - use them.

* Giants may be in line for the next beating. I can see ol Bill grinning at thought of Eli in the pocket.

* LB depth - Shanle and James stepped up inside in Dats absence.

* CB's - we appeared to be playing a lot more man coverage on WR's - I say screw 2 safety deep zone coverage....

* 4 sacks - noted

* Roy was animated and hitting peope again - nice

* Witten big game - its now picking poison time - who do you roll coverage to stop? Glenn? Witten, JJ, don't forget Crayton and Key!

Lets enjoy this for the moment. Work to go but landmark win. We knocked out the champ. Just the 5th round and 3 knockout rule - but a telling shot early in the season!

They played defense like they did in '03. One on One on the outside and blitzes every time you had an obvious passing situation. Make the opponent beat you first before you stop attacking.

Make Eli connect on a big pass before we stop going after him.

I like Man to man - you can then roll safeties where help is needed and or keep them in the box. Many, many of the big plays on us were on Corners passing receivers to safeties in zone and plays breaking down. Clamp Henry and Tnew down on top 2. Bring Aaron Glenn in on 3rd WR and man up.

Then attack the damn QB with blitzes and scheme changes. Attack and dictate the game.

It's a landmark win if we win again next week.

 

[Nors]

Mikey said that today too - In fact he said we could go 0-3 in next 3.

We could beat Giants too! its possible!


And 3-2 is better than 2-3 and crushed by Eagles - gloomers and chicken littles having a rough 24 hours. Noted.....


How bout that Bledsoe! Is that the same guy you New York Bills followers were beating up bad? Its amazing the transformation! The statue is ALIVE.....

Yep...the thing that has really surprised me about Bledsoe is how animated he is...he hasn't been like that in a while...

But ya know, it's such a tough division that we can't afford to lose next week...this team needs to go on a run...string 3-4 wins in a row...just like the good old days.

 

[Ashwynn]

Its a real good start. If we can build on this we will be heavyhitters in the east for a while. I am impressed and thoroughly enjoyed that victory. If only the Astros had of won 3 hours earlier, I really could have enjoyed it. I was switching between every play. It was nerve racking, but when the week-end was over, what a haul.

Not only a win, but a dominant win over the most dominant team in the NFC.
The Skins lost.
The Horns started paying back OU for the last 5 years.
The Astros clinched the division series and are headed back to St Louis. (they will probably lose there, but what a ride, I cant take many more seasons like this.)
A ref got punched in the face. (Not a particular win, but funny as hell and something I have never seen before in a game at any level.)

in all, a great week-end of sports. If they could all be like this....but I am sure that would get boring after about 10 years.

AHH!!! so true!!! We gave Washington the game, and we brought far too little heat on Collins. Finally Zimmer got the fact that if you can shut down a team for 4 quarters, keep up what you are doing. Why change with the game on the line

 

[AmericasTeam31]

What a great weekend!!!! Penn State takes it to Ohio State and the Cowboys crush the Eagirls. Does it get any better than that?

 

[Nors]

This is our first football team since 1997/98 with any chance of making a run deep into playoffs.

Lets put a few wins together and build on it.


I hear all this Eagles owning us crap.

In Parcells era we are now 2-3 against Eagles!

 

[The Fonz]

Look like Pile doing good job or is't just me

 

[MichaelWinicki]

It's a landmark win if we win again next week.

As you would say, "On the nosey".

We get blown up by the G-man and it takes a lot of steam out of the Eagles win. I think we have to win 2 out of the next 3.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Mikey said that today too - In fact he said we could go 0-3 in next 3.

Nors you fibbing bugger...

I said we need to win 2 out of the next 3 to stay in the race. 0 for 3 would be disastrous obviously.

 

[TNCowboy]

14.8 points per game...4th in NFL...Its only gonna get better.

It's 19.6 per game.

 

[Nors]

And we are scoring 24 a game on offense - outstanding!

 

[Mansta54]

I want to see our Defense come in and totally dominate a game. A close game and totally hammer a team. Sacks, fumbles, interceptions! Maybe even some TD's!

They just did that against Philly. They gave up 129 yards of total offense and allowed just 3 points with 4 sacks and Philly had the No.1 ranked offense in the league coming into the game. If that isn't total dominance, then I don't know what is..


TOTAL DOMINANCE

I hear ya, we did dominate -

But fact is our offense put a 27 spot up at half and we had 40 minutes TOP. We kept Eagles off field.


There a "more" dominating game in our D!
