Ignoring the times we've beaten them. (.431) No matter how you slice it Matts, you're losing this argument. Duh, weve already been over this. Thats why yall are ranked #1 and were ranked like #12. You guys have had a better season. Thats obvious. The only argument that can be made that puts us in contention is if you accept the fact (really just my opinion though) that we would have beaten the GBP W/Rodgers and the Rams if Lee was playing. Thats obviously a homerish opinion though. I already said all this earlier - the biggest thing you guys have going for you is that youve been consistent week to week. We havent. I cant be losing an argument that I didnt make. Edited November 6, 2017 by Matts4313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson Wentz is a great quarterback. It seemed like the Chiefs' offense. They just executed a lot better. We played a great offense. It's the best offense we've seen."

Jlash Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Still think we'll lose AT LEAST one of two out west against Seattle and LA. Seattle will always be dangerous at home, and LA has been bulldozing people like we have, with a strong and young defense to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more intrigued by LA than Seattle given Seattle couldn't beat a devastated Washington team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll lose one game unexpectedly, and we'll rest our starters week 17 against Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played the LA Rams, you played the mediocre skins and panthers (youve played one more game than us). YOu have VERY CLEARLY played an easier schedule.

Your SOS is .431, ours is .413 That's not a monumental difference, especially when you consider we've handed our opponents 3 more losses than you guys have.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 We're obviously the hottest and best looking team at the moment, today's 50 burger on one of league's best defenses cemented that status for us over the bye, but Cowboys are not far behind. I think they're better than the Rams, Hawks and Panthers, who they either have a worse or equal record as. A sneakily solid D and a dominant OL surrounded by enough talented players to take advantage of it. Their OL was average pre-bye, but it seems they just needed time to mesh, and that's been the difference. They looked like a stonewall out there today. Although speaking of OLs, ours looked amazing today against an even better pass rush. Redskins are 4-1 outside of the division, with wins over the Rams and Seahawks. Maybe they're not that bad, and the NFCE is just the cream of the crop division at the moment? If we can at least split with the Cowboys that should give us the division.

I seriously dont understand WTF you are arguing here? Like, whats your point? You would conceed that GBP w/Rodgers are an elite team, and that is not reflected in the SOS, right? You would also agree that the Rams look much better than either the Panthers or Redskins, right? I would also presume that you would agree that the Panthers, despite their record, look very mediocre, right? You would also agree that you guys have played better game to game than us right? You would also agree that your team deserves to be considered the better team right now, right? You would also agree, that if we lose the players listed earlier (Smith, Bryant, Crawford, Zeke, Williams) that the Cowboys are likely done for the season, right? You would also agree that Sean Lee is a really good football player, and our defense is bootycheeks when he isnt out there, right? If you agree with the above, than I seriously dont know WTF your point is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 What's even funnier is. When you look at SOS-results responsible for (8-1 for the Eagles, and 5-3 for the Cowboys) Eagles Opponents (30-36) (.455) Cowboys Opponents (25-32) (.439) I'll wait.
