Important question. I really don't think it is. Both are playing in the optimal passing era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If you look at Point Differentials: Points scored minus Points given up.... 2017 Eagles delivered a 162 while the 2009 Saints delivered a 169. Both are top notch performances In the case of the Eagles, they only gave up 295 pts last year - an impressive number while the 09 Saints got their huge PD from an other-worldly offense Saints defense was ranked # 20 in points allowed while the Eagles were ranked # 4 in 2017. If Defense wins Championships.... Then I think the nod goes to 2017 Eagles on this one. Also in part because the Saints rode the Katrina and Gleason waves of momentum and that would be impossible to reproduce in a simulation. I'd love to watch this one play out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely matters, no one was beating the saints in 09, it was destiny. The afc pro bowl team wouldn't have even had a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The afc pro bowl team wouldn't have even had a shot lmfao. Team of destiny? 1. What does that have to do with the era? 2. The Eagles this past season were just as much if not more a "team of destiny". Either way the whole "destiny" thing is a more theatrical way of saying "hot". They caught fire when at the right time. Motivation + fortune. "It's better to be good and lucky, than to just be good." And if the AFC Pro Bowl roster was actually a team that played together, developed chemistry over a season and was trying, they'd stomp any other team.
