I posted these on another site. Its amazing how similar QBs who faced Tampa's defense are to Ryan Leaf's career numbers:

Opposing QBs: 10 TDs 31 INT 50.8% completion, 48.4 QB rating
Ryan Leaf 14 TDs 36 INT 48% completion %. 50 QB rating

Good post<P>

So if Ryan Leaf (Y) over normal defense (d) is equal to a normal quaterback (QB) over the TB defense (d+x). assuming that D is greater than d then: <P>

Y/d=QB/(d+x)<BR>
Y(d+x)=QB(d)<BR>
Y(d+x)/(d)=QB <P>

or to put it another way you would have to give Ryan all the talent of TB's D (x) and add it to his skill set. Only then would he be an average QB in the NFL when playing against an average d. <P>

Conclusion: Leaf is an X-NFL Quaterback!!!!!<P>

Garcia may be good, but looking at the numbers, they look very Leaf-like:

41 att 22 comp 193 yards 4.7 yds/att, 0 TD 3 INT QB rating of 35.9

Don't be surprised if McNabb looks like a "lighter shade" next week. Do they dare post a total of 30?

The thing is that McNabb had Leaf numbers in the game before this season and it didn't matter because Staley had 150+ yards rushing. I think you might have pointed out earlier about the Bucs and their defenses' weakness against the more physical teams

First McNabb's numbers in the earlier contest this year:

RESULT CMP ATT YDS CMP% YPA LNG TD INT SACK RAT
W 20-10 12 25 127 48.0 5.08 42 1 1 2 59.9

And the Tampa rush defenses' success this year:

Against/Rush/Yards/Avg/Result
New Orleans 34 118 3.5 L
Baltimore 20 55 2.8 W
St. Louis 20 89 4.5 W
Cincy 29 74 2.6 W
Atlanta 22 70 3.2 W
Cleveland 18 60 3.3 W
Philly 34 159 4.7 L
Carolina 31 110 3.5 W
Green Bay 23 96 4.2 W
New ORleans 31 102 3.3 L
Atlanta 23 62 2.7 W
Detroit 26 144 5.5 W
Pittsburgh 35 94 2.7 L
Chicago 22 85 3.9 W

They lost to every team on their schedule that I would consider to be a physical team except for Cincy (it's Cincy) and the Bears (Burris QB'd). I don't trust either team to put up a lot of points, but the Eagles should have success moving chains and gaining field position. Whoever gets behind early will have a tough time getting back. Johnson is more prone to mistakes than McNabb. Eagles should win and whoever wins will roll.

I think TB's offense will struggle much more on the road and against a much better defense in Philly. At 34, I like the under here.

no more blatant lies please bobby. johnson and mcnabb have both thrown 6 INT's this year with johnson having attempted about 100 more passes than mcnabb. looks like mcnabb is more prone to mistakes. whoever wins will roll??? interesting comment and makes absolutely no sense. tampa wins this game with the better defense and better offense.

No more lies. Best of luck.

It must have been the other Johnson that threw the picks on crucial possessions in their losses this year to New Orleans and . . . some other team, I forget.

And maybe that was Shaun King that threw the 4 picks in the NFC Wildcard round last year against . . . who did they play?

I just get all of these QBs confused. You should do very well this weekend. Again, Good luck!!!!

Possum

Possum

I know know if he will be limited to Ryan Leaf status, but Mcnabb still hasn't proven to be completely healed. <P>
I kinda got a feeling that Andy Ried is playing possum. He didn't pull out all stops to win last week. He was content to play a ball control game and sit on his early points. Bobby, you made some good points. I'm still on the fence. :confused: <P>
Both teams are good and I am naturally a dog player. So, I am watch this line like a hyponist's watch.:nooo: :nooo: :nooo:
