Some Commanders vs. Pats statistics

[TheCount]

I prefer a 60% to 40% ratio of Peanut Butter to Jelly on my sandwiches, it is rumored Jason Campbell prefers a much less impressive 30% to 70% ratio, thereby making it a Jelly and Peanut Butter sandwhich, rather silly if you ask me.

More RedStink stats:

3 SuperBowl Lombardi's

1 real one

2 plastic ones

Joe Gibbs' bust in the HOF is made of a bronze stand and a plastic head painted with bronze paint.

RedStink cheerleaders work during the day and after hours at a strip clubs, and some work the night shift at a shady street corner.

Lil Danny bought Six Flags so HE could go ride the "over 5 foot" rides too.

The fans known as the "Hogs" don't just dress up for games like that, that's how they REALLY look in everyday life.

The RedStinks are the only team in the NFL that has a little Jr. High School Marching Band.

RedStink fans have the highest "***** envy" towards the Dallas Cowboys than any other team, in any sport.

One of the many local Commanders fans told me the other day that, "The Pats haven't faced a defense like the Commanders this season". I'll grant the Skins that their defense is playing well. They are ranked #1 after all, but I reminded the guy that the offense stinks. He pointed out that the Bears offense stunk last season too. Sorry, Washington ... this Commanders team's defense isn't half as good as the Bears' D was last season. And, this New England team has a pretty damned good defense too.

Setting the defenses aside, though ... here are some hysterical statistics about the Skins and Pats this weekend:

Number of TDs thrown by Jason Campbell this season: 5
Number of TDs thrown by Tom Brady last weekend: 6

Number of TDs thrown by Tom Brady this season: 27
Number of TDs of any kind by the Commanders: 14

Total number of Jason Campbell TDs to Commanders WRs this season: 0

My prediction for the game:
Pats: 35
Skins: 7

The Skins will keep the Pats from scoring 50 on them, but it won't matter ... since they themselves will only get a garbage time TD.

the skins also don't have a Devin Hester. to all the people talking about Bob Sanders: he is a very good player. but he hasn't even made it through a full season without getting hurt

Players get hurt. The fact that a guy is injury prone doesn't make him less of a good player, it just means there's no guarantee he'll be on the field every game. Guy's like Plaxico, Fred Taylor, Todd Heap are still good players despite their frequent injuries.

It's not like they are out there trying to get hurt on purpose. I never understood how you could knock a guy for getting injured often in a violent contact sport. It'd be one thing if he was a third string guy and got injured every time he stepped foot on the field.

Actually, Washington's defense isn't ranked #1. It's #5. And that doesn't nearly tell the entire story. It always cracks me up when people use generic statistical rankings to prove a point. Anyone can find stats to "prove" anything they want.

Where do I start, where do I start???

Lets look a little closer.

Let's...

The Skins are ranked #5 defensively. Dallas, #7. 19 is the difference in yards per game given up by the respective clubs, the stat on which the NFL's defensive rankings are based. The truth of the matter is, Dallas gives up less yardage per play than Washington, 4.8 and 5, respectively.

That's just bizarre, because NFL.com has the Skins #1 in the league at 4.3 yards/play. But let's not let the facts get in the way here... http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...-447263-s=SCRIMMAGE_YDS_PLAY_AVG&d-447263-n=1

The Skins give up 3.5 yards per rush; The Cowboys come in at a tenth of a yard more, 3.6. The touted Commander secondary allows its opponents to complete 59.6% of their passes. The much maligned Cowboys, 58%.

Wow, way to pick and choose your stats. The Skins beat you in every other statistical category in that we have a better ranked pass defense (despite playing better passing teams than you have in Detriot, Green Bay and AZ) and keeps QBs down to a worse rating (actually best in the league at this).

Dallas is tied for first in the league in interceptions while Washington ranks eighth.

Dallas has 10 INTs, the Skins 9. But Laron Landry's INT on AZ's two point doesn't count for some odd reason. Why, I have no idea but that's the way itworks. In reality, the Skins have 10, which is the same amount as Dallas. Still, Dallas has played a game more. But Dallas has given up 11 TDs through the air. The Skins? 5. Which puts us 2nd and you 24th.

You do beat us in sacks (16 vs. 18) but again, we played one less game.

Lastly, Dallas has the #2 defense and #1 offense in the NFC. The Skins, #1 and #12.

Statistically speaking, who impresses YOU more?

You say "it always cracks me up when people use generic statistical rankings" yet... Okay dude...

how about where we're 6-1 and you're 4-2

here's another area where you can start at, 2.5, that's our lead over you guys in the East

What amazes me is how a Commanders fan has 1000+ posts on a Cowboys fan board. Do you not get along with the other Commander fans or what?

this is where he comes to get into real football discussions

I've seen all the Skins' games too, and their defense does look good. They look a lot beteer than we do, IMHO. The difference is, we've given up a lot more TD passes than they have. Third-down percentage is also an issue. The Washington D gets off the field 8% more often on third down than we do.

They look better b/c they haven't given up nearly as many points. That's a pretty important stat, there.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

almost forgot

2-0

1-1

record against common opponents, although our win over the Dolphins was much more convincing

so much for that #4 ranked D of the Dolphins, huh? LOL

Consider also that the Cowboys have played the most dangerous offense in the league, arguably the most dangerous offense in the last 5-10 years, and the Skins haven't YET...

I have a hunch those numbers will look a wee bit better for the Boys by this evening...

 

[silverbear]

With the Sunday Ticket, I can watch all of our rivals play. I've seen all of Washington's games this year. I've gotta say, their defense is good. It's not great, but it's pretty good. I think ours will be better by the end of the year. We'll finally have our secondary healthy, and Tank will provide some much needed depth at NT.

Plus, we're getting more and more comfortable in Wade's system.

This is an excellent bit of analysis... particularly the part I put in bold fonts, that pretty much sums up my take on the Skins' defense...

I aint too good at math... but... after the Skins lose to the Pats wont they be one game away from .500........ very very average at best:laugh2:

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I happily stand corrected

 

[Chocolate Lab]

They won't be #1 or #5 after tomorrow.

Hard to believe they're not about 1-6, isn't it??
