Not a Zed Lepplin fan but damn

 

 

The more I see this, the more it reminds me of Kevin McCallister

Turnovers is not a very sticky stat from year to year.  Involves some luck.  

Darn, I used that "luck" word again.

Defense isn’t playing bad either, and you’re right, the competition is a step up. The defense won the game Monday iMO. Yeh the offense has to score points, but that second half was really really good.

My belief is that it is "front running”. A certain breed of fans only cares about winning, and therefore they pick the current front runner as "their team”

Yeh we refer to those folks as T-shirt fans.

If one goes to this post in the Special Teams Blog  

and then goes forward game by game, here is what you find:

Game One — Jack Fox punted four times for the Lions with an average of about 46.3 yards and 5.02 hangtime. All four of his punts were over 4.5 seconds including two which were considerably over 5.0 seconds. Two of the four were hit outside the numbers.

Game Two — Ryan Wright had a strong game for the Vikings. He averaged about 47.8 yards and 4.88 hangtime on his five punts, with four of them reaching the 4.5 second mark and all five being hit outside the numbers.

Game Three — Tress Way punted eight time for the teamformerlyknownastheRedskins. He averaged about 52.6 yards and 4.54 hangtime, with five at 4.5 seconds or more and five hit outside the numbers. 

Game Four — Logan Cooke punted three times for the Wires, all from pretty deep in his own territory so that he had a lot of room to boom the ball. He averaged about 48.3 yards with 4.36 hangtime. One was over 4.5 seconds. Two were hit outside the numbers. 

Game Five — Veteran Andy Lee punted four times for the Cardinals. He averaged about 49.3 yards and 4.62 hangtime with three reaching 4.5 seconds and three hitting outside the numbers.

Game Six — Bryan Anger only punted two times -- on their first two possessions I should note -- with an amazing average of 56.0 yards and 4.82 hangtime. Both were above 4.5 seconds and both were hit outside the numbers.

Game Seven — Pressley Harvin, who reportedly had been struggling, punted four times for the Steelers with an average of about 45.0 yards and a very strong 5.05 hangtime. Opposing punters this year just have monster games against us. I guess we should just accept this as a fact and move on. All four had a hangtime of at least 4.5 seconds. Three of the four were hit outside the numbers. 

Game Eight — Opposing punters are averaging about 49.3 yards and 4.74 hangtime with 71% at 4.5 seconds and 71% hit outside the numbers. Basically opposing punters are doing legendary work every week. And since Washington has the best punter in football, this will probably continue for at least one more week.

Game Nine — Tress Way only had two official punts but actually punted three times. His three punts averaged about 44.7 yards with 4.27 hangtime. One had a hangtime of at least 4.5 seconds. None were hit outside the numbers. I guess they had no concerns about hitting the ball to the middle of the field.

Awesome to read this kind of detail and one of the reasons I started following this blog before I joined. Good stuff.

I really cant stand this stupid notion that we have only played "2 of the gauntlet games"

It minimizes what the eagles have done. Its unbelievable to me how people continue to say this like no one can remember when they were all looking at the SEVEN game stretch earlier in the season. 

We have been in that gauntlet for 4 weeks already and are 4-0.

There are rumors that Stout wasn't a Chip hire, but a Howie find... 

I don't believe it.

Are the next supposed to be Bills, 49ers, Dallas, and Hawks?

Hawks werent originally included in the feared 7 game stretch, but at this point, theyre looking like a playoff team so you can say its 8 now.

Flaws don't matter as long as it's with wins lol

 

Just now, Sack that QB said:

 

Turds got enough LBs.  They don't need him.

 

Without Goedert, we need him.

might be tough for Milton to be cleared by Sunday on a short week. Also Barnett still out, he probably just left.

Justin Evans being LP all last week and now DNP is weird

Not this year. They don't have much and the quality isn't great. They've had to play Parsons more at off ball which is a waste for them. The other LB is a guy who was a DB all training camp, and they have Damon Clark. That's about it.

🎼 He’s the little Eagles GM from South Broad Street
Go Howie!  Go Howie!  Go Howie Go!
Has a damn good roster ready to add Shaq’s feet
Go Howie!  Go Howie!  Go Howie Go!
And parked in his rickety Cap account
There's a few extra dollars … just the right amount

And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner than
The little Eagles GM from South Broad Street
He drives real fast and he drives real hard
She's the terror of the NFL trading boulevard
He’s the little Eagles GM from South Broad Street
Go Howie!  Go Howie!  Go Howie Go!

Go Howie!  Go Howie!  Go Howie Go!

Barnett being inactive to a personal DNP...that's not a good sign for him.

Said during and after the KC game, we need to find an upgrade to our 3rd wr next year. When goedert gets hurt it gets brought to light more.

He was out Monday for personal reasons, not just inactive. 

The Thanksgiving sauce is flowing early today
