Now Begins the Slide of the Eagles

Cardinals are 5-1 but they are playing crappy football. Look for that team to fall with a five game losing streak. Yup, they will be 5-6 by the time they realize what happened.

Fixed it for you.

Fixed it for you.

I think both of these are true. I look at both of those teams with their one-loss records and "FRAUD" immediately comes to mind. I may be biased. LOL. I'm sorry, but who is the Cardinals QB? Who are the Eagles' receivers? These guys are trash.

The think they loose @ Green Bay. Cardinals, Seahawks and Cowboys are toss-ups. They win all the others easily.

Time of possession is the most over used, meaningless stat in football. If Team A executes 70 offensive plays in an up tempo mode, while Team B only executes 40 offensive plays does it really matter who technically had possession of the ball for the most play clock? Just stupid.

Slow tempo, running teams can eat up clock and make the game 'shorter'. High tempo, passing teams make the game 'longer'. TOP is just coincidental of the styles of play.

You would be more accurate by saying 'Chip Kelly's ambivalence towards the high tempo O resulting in his D being on the field so much could really bite him...'

Whether you choose to say Chip Kelly doesn't care about time of possession or that Chip Kelly doesn't care about his defense being on the field a lot, it boils down to the same thing. I'm sorry my terminology upset you.

You make a wildly incorrect assumption about Chip Kelly's offense. I'll elaborate so you can understand:

Executing plays quickly offers some advantages to an offense, but just because offense A executes plays faster than offense B doesn't mean offense A will run more plays than offense B. All offense A achieves in running plays quickly is using less time to run plays and leaving more time on the clock for plays to be run--by both teams. It still comes down to offenses making first downs and putting the ball in the endzone, or defenses stopping offenses, if you prefer I put it that way. It's entirely possible for team A to run plays at an average of 18 seconds per while team B runs plays at 30 seconds per, and team B still run more plays. How does this happen? Defense B prevents offense A from moving the ball, getting first downs and running more plays while defense A doesn't return the favor. Pretty simple, huh? (See Dallas @ Philly, Oct. 20, 2013.)

It doesn't matter how fast Philadelphia runs plays if they don't score. All they do is run plays faster than the Cowboys.. It will mean the Cowboys possess the ball a lot longer than the Eagles and that the Philly D is on the field a lot longer than the Dallas D for no reason. And you're delusional if you don't think that matters.
