It's pretty much undeniable that their defense was better, at least among objectivity. If you aren't concerned about being objective, then it's just an entirely different viewpoint: fan.

Would you, in the future, not quote me with saying what CRedskinsRule says. I mean, he's right, but we're also two different people. Thanks.

But I do thank you for claiming argument consistency from TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. That's one of the more entertaining things that has ever happened from around these parts. Now I pretty much can't take you seriously anymore. I think you'll understand.

The rest of your post just seems to be a never-ending series of strawmans that varies between arguments that he made, neither of us made, and no one has ever made.

P.S. The fact that drive total has become a non-quantifiable statistic in this debate means it's pretty much over.

Get over yourself please, stop with all the hand waving saying they're undeniably better because you say so based on the criteria you choose. And if you did watch the games, can you at least agree with me that on those 2 days the Redskins defense was better? Throughout the year I never felt our defense was getting handled except maybe the first game versus the Giants. The Eagles gave up 41 to Dallas, 36 to the Giants, and 36 to Baltimore. That's not what I call consistent and that may not be a stat that you choose, but it does matter if you want to call yourself a good defense.

If there were a stat that was for the offensive strength that you face I guarantee it would be higher for the Redskins than the Eagles. I know it's the case for points and yards by a large margin. I wasn't claiming their schedule was harder, I was saying we faced better offenses. New Orleans had the best offense in the NFL and we had to face the Eagles offense twice (which was one of the best offenses in the NFL, again 6th in points) while they had to face our offense twice (which is much worse statistically, since you seem to care about the statistical analysis so much). And yeah Atlanta and Chicago were offensive powerhouses last year, I think I missed that.

P.S. You defined the meaning of drive total and how it is relevant statistically, but you don't know. Having a lower number of drives could mean that the defense is better, that they force offenses to work during every possession, bend but not break (i.e. Blache's scheme), as opposed to one that is more attacking and takes more chances (i.e. Jim Johnson's scheme).
