Re: 1991 Eagles in Detail
That still does not explain the lack of sacks and turnovers in the loss to Dallas in 91 at home. Let me explain the Eagles changes from year to year in a general statement about Pro vs College ball. Since I was a little guy at age 8, I have always had a strong preference for the NFL vs the College g...

Once again I think of the 2008 Arizona Cardinals. They were 9-7 and played six of their games with teams in their Division. Most of their losses were blowouts. Recall these: 34 to 10 vs Vikings; 47 to7 vs Patriots; 48 to 20 vs Eagles
