| It's been duly noted that the eagles struggle to convert redzone trips into 7 points which many sit back and blame for our 3 losses. Now while that may very well play a role in those losses there are some numbers that are worth looking at in this regard.
The eagles offense is 5th in the league in scoring as of their win yesterday in Qwest with 27.5 ppg.
Their defense is currently 7th in the league holding opponents to 18.0 ppg.
When I see these numbers my first thought is we would be undoubtedly 1st in scoring on offense if we converted half the redzone opportunities we had. The eagle's ability to drive down the field consistently matched with an 11 consecutive punt dominating defense really has us in fairly great position to win every game given that akers consistently hits his field goals.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's obvious this redzone issue needs to be figured out with better solutions than TD passes to the offensive lineman but as it stands, the eagles are a high scoring team with a stout defense. | |
