As incredible as it may seem, tomorrow night will be the first time since I started blogging* that my Philadelphia Eagles will play my internet friend Mookie's Seattle Seahawks. Earlier this week, Mookie reached out to me via email to ask if I wanted to join him in doing a series of posts, with me saying some words on why the Seahawks will beat the Eagles, and him writing a few words on why the Eagles will beat the Seahawks. The results of that are as follows.
*I started blogging after what is still the latest tie in the NFL. The Eagles last played the Seahawks a few weeks prior to that infamous game. I have no visual recollection of that Eagles win at Seattle in 2008. No amount of hard alcohol has been able to wash away the memories of the two Seahawks-Eagles games prior to that one.
Why the Seahawks will beat the Eagles, by Justin F.
The Eagles Defensive Coordinator is their old offensive line coach: The Eagles Defensive coordinator is their offensive line coach. It as worked out about as well as most imagined. It's imbarrassing. As much as I (and the Eagles players themselves) did not like Sean McDermott, the Eagles defense put up a respectable -11.0% DVOA last season. This season, the Eagles defensive DVOA (DVOA explained) is a sub-par 2.8% (in case you do not know or have not yet figured out, in terms of defense, a negative DVOA is better than a positive DVOA). That's right. The Eagles defense has actually regressed from last season.
