Myself As Another

This makes me really, really want to learn stop-action techniques. Wow. The most fun violence ever looked, no? That’s the disturbing irony, I think.  Enjoy.   

This is one of the most incredible, inspiring talks I’ve ever heard. I love the TED Talks.

When I first started looking at these teams, they seemed pretty closely matched over the course of the season:

Full Season
Margin of Victory: Dallas, 7pts; Philly 5.7pts
Pass Yds: Dallas, 268(6th), Philly, 256(10th)
Rush Yds: Dallas, 131(7th), Philly, 102(22nd)
Pass Yds Allowed: Dallas, 225(20th), Philly, 216(17th)
Rush Yds Allowed: Dallas, 91(4th), Philly, 104(9th)
TakeAways: Dallas, +1(15th), Philly, +15(2nd)

But when I look at the last six games for each team, Dallas is clearly playing better:

Last Six Games
Margin of Victory: Dallas, 9.17pts; Philly 5pts
Pass Yds: Dallas, 298: Philly, 269
Rush Yds: Dallas, 130: Philly, 93
Pass Yds Allowed: Dallas: 218, Philly, 242
Rush Yds Allowed: Dallas: 74, Philly, 100
TakeAways: Dallas, +6: Philly, +9

Bottom Line…
But any way you slice it, this game looks to be close. Because of that, I think the game will come down to who plays the best on this given day. So then what do we have to go on? Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb’s playoff experience and success (5 NFC Championship games, 1 Superbowl). Tony Romo? Where did he go? Hey Wade Phillips, have you seen your quarterback? Hello? Wade?

Eagles 24, Cowboys 20.
