I actually agree with this post to the extent that football is a team game. That's cliche, but the reason we have the 3-5 record is that we have played only well enough to be a 3 or 4 win team. It's important to realize that one man is not responsible for the record, and that the whole team is. But if the goal is to fix it, then you have to find the problems. 3-5 isn't a problem...it's the product. That's why its a horrible arguement for benching MB.

You are 100% right with your diagnosis of the game as one rooted in emotion. It's why a team can beat another team on any given Sunday. It may very well be why we lost to Tennessee. But the funny thing about that is when you get emotionally dominated...you also get statistically dominated. Stats do not show the level of emotion, but they show what happened DUE to the emotion. They are not going to tell you why it happened, but they will tell you how it was executed. And if trying to dig deeper into why and how things happen makes me a stathead, then I'm guilty as charged. But I've been a football fan longer than ive been a staticisian, and stats will never be bigger than the game itself.

Outside of that, I think this is a very well written final word. Although I don't agree 100%, I'm willing to let the issue rest at this point. At least until next week when we inevitably disagree on MB's performace. It will be interesting to see what we have in store for the Eagles offensively.
