The Eagles are a pass first run second team. They do a lot of screen passing instead of straight runs. The fact is, they had more total yards and more first downs. How you get them doesn\'t matter, as long as you get them.
Looking at Westbrook\'s total yards is a better judgement of the effective running game they had. Westbrook had 104 total yards, which isn\'t bad. It\'s just that some of those will be marked off as passing yards because he got the ball on a screen rather than a handoff. Hell, he and Corey Dillon put up almost the exact same number of total yards, and each had a score.
And if you\'re gonna say that the fact that the Eagles had more passing yards is meaningless because they passed more, couldn\'t I just as easily say the fact that the Pats had more rushing yards is meaningless because they ran the ball more?
The game was LESS of a blowout than the score says.
