Yeah check out the variance, it says Washington was more consistent than Philly. I guess that changes your earlier opinion on the matter because boom it's right there in the stats. It's okay we all make mistakes, and you spelled forum wrong too.
Yeah we play 12 of the same teams, I know how the schedule works, you don't need to make the same argument continuously. The difference in the other games is we play a good Philly offense they play a bad Redskin offense and the other two games had negligible difference.
The DVOA only takes into account certain statistics on defense and is incomplete. I bet they just fiddle with the stats til it looks how they think it should look. You can't tell everything from looking at statistics. Do you think Philly and Minnesota's defense was better than Tennessee's, because the stats might say so, but I wouldn't say that and I don't think you would either. And of course you're going to pull up those stats because they have the weighted thing towards the end of the season when Philly was playing their best defense, yet it still wasn't good enough to beat us, when they're playoff hopes were seemingly on the line.
Okay wait, yeah I see it so clearly now, -20.7%, but I think I still need to see the stat for pressure situations, or do they eliminate plays once a game is considered out of reach, or do they have a stat for whether a player is injured, or if he picked his nose between plays. IT'S OBJECTIVE, that's my argument. YOUR OPINION IS NOT ABSOLUTE UNDENIABLE TRUTH THAT EVERYBODY AGREES WITH BECAUSE YOUR PRECIOUS STATS SAY SO. Maybe you should stop crunching the numbers and doing your math homework on Sundays and actually watch the games and make an opinion of your own.

1) Apology accepted.
2) As others have pointed out, you're struggling to make a coherent point. I gave you one link to show you that I'm
not bullshitting you, and I have plenty of others that generally said the same thing. I think you have to understand that when you bullshit someone and get caught, the best thing to do sometimes is to just say that, you were unaware of that information, and that you find it interesting, if not potentially at odds with what you previously believed. It's all good.
No one thinks you should agree 100% with any one statistical source, in fact, that's what this was all about. They all have some value. Together, they can tell most of the story.
3) This was never about right or wrong, this was about what I knew and what you were absolutely convinced I did not know. You thought, based on the limited information you had, that the Redskins were a top five defense. I knew otherwise. That's really all this tiff was. Again, no hard feelings.
