Well, I'd say your assessment of the offense is pretty far out there as well, but necessary to support your assessment of the defense.
But I'm not going to bring up what you are wrong about this week.
Because the defense was great this week. And while you've missed the point on the offense, in the 4th quarter they were every bit as bad as you claim they've been all year. So, while I'd like you to see the contrast between that ineffective 4th quarter offense, and the offense in the rest of the game/season I'll settle for the hard work that SC Skins Fan put into this thread to show exactly what I meant.

You have to understand the argument to have a decent rebuttal. This game actually proved Tripp's point. Great defensive effort, great play calling by Blache.

Remember Hail, the only thing I ever said you were flat out wrong on was when you said PPG is the only stat that matters. I proved this pretty convincingly. And you never really disputed that. Skinsfan69 tried to, but that ended kind of ugly. This is the part that Matty was referring to.
Anyway, in the spirit of the holidays, let's both be right this week. I was right on Blache. You were right on the quality of the Blache-neutral defense. We beat the Eagles behind an outstanding performance from our defense. Seriously. This is a great week to be a Redskins fan.
