A Word on the Iggles

I've gotten complaints from touchy Philly Fantatics over the Index's view of the Eagles (I don't have to post the link AGAIN, do I?), which currently clock in at No. 9 behind the Seahawks, for cryin' out loud. I hate Seattle. So don't blame me. Plus I own Donovan in my expert league, so I can show some love. But the Eagles are being slammed for being bad in two categories, move net (runs plus completions minus runs plus completions allowed) and penalties. The computer doesn't like sloppy teams that can't beat the clock with the running game in the second half when they have the lead. It doesn't like the Eagles inability to sustain drives generally. The computer loves the Eagles pass offense and pass defense. It doesn't even mind their run defense so much. But the Eagles are not currently viewed as a complete team: one that can not only get its foot on your throat but keep it there.
