Why do I envision our D getting torched next week, no matter who the opponent is?! 😬 If we let the Giants score 30 points on us, we deserve to lose.

LacesOut Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 ^^^^^^ Agreed. But, I could see them (or TB/Dallas) getting up on us early, knowing our DC and his passive style of D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portyansky Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Only thing that I feel is a little concerning playing NYG is it seems they have found a way to utilize Jones in the run game. I pray we don't play our CBs 7-10yds off. Jones doesn't throw deep, dink and dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eagles aren’t going to be facing anemic offenses in the playoffs. What happened in Dallas? The Cowboys were handed four extra drives on turnovers. And the Saints? Really? Defense only allowed 13 points. One TD on the opening drive, then not a single one after that. Even so, the best defenses sometimes have bad games. Hell the Niners gave up 34 points to the Raiders backup QB just a few weeks ago. Bottom line is Gannon’s defense is top ten in the league for points allowed. I swear people don’t watch the NFL outside of Eagle games, so have no frame of reference on what the majority of NFL defenses look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the Eagles scored, punted, or turned the ball over, the Cowboys were going to get the ball after each Eagles possession. The average possessions per game in the NFL is 12, the Cowboys had 12. The issue in the game was, short field, long field, did not matter, the Eagles defense could not stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excluding the drives that were as a result of turnovers they did not stop the cowboys once. The niners are in same boat as eagles. Some of their def statics are a result of average/below average offenses due to strength of schedule. Yeah niners gave up a lot of points to KC/LV the only legit offenses they played all season.

The issue in the game was, short field, long field, did not matter, the Eagles defense could not stop them. Whether they were "extra” drives or not, they were major swings that out the defense in a bad spot. Three of the four turnovers were on the wrong side of the 50. One of them basically had the Cowboys take over already in the redzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, watch more games outside of just the Eagles. It’s an offense driven league. Even good defenses are going to give up 30 points here and there. We just saw the Bills #2 ranked defense give up 24 to Miami’s backup QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non turnover possessions for Dallas. 14 plays 75 yards TD 13 plays 72 yards FG 9 plays 49 yards FG 8 plays 75 yards TD 271 yards on 4 possessions. We were not stopping them.

We were not stopping them. And none of that changes the fact that the Cowboys were unlikely to score 40 points without all those turnovers. And even if they did, so what? Every defense in the league has bad games. If you’re going to hold this team to that standard that they can’t allow a lot of points in any game, then there is no such thing as a good NFL defense. They ALL have games where they don’t have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying it doesn’t mean anything; but I’m the type to look beyond the "average.” I look at how they did against teams with competent offenses/qbs and they didn’t do so well. With the exception of maybe the giants; the remaining teams have competent high scoring offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
