by Jimmy Kempski

Oftentimes the Eagles' offense will put up what look like good numbers statistically, but lose. For example, against the Cardinals last year, they racked up 521 yards, but only scored 20 points, and lost. They gained 429 yards against the Packers but got blown out. Against the Redskins, they put up 495 yards of total offense, but scored 24 points and their season was over.
