T.O.P.

[Boxhead85]

Time of Possession will be the absolutely key for us to win this game. As we all know, the Eagles run an extremely fast-paced offense...keep them off the field, and we'll have a legitimate chance to win this game. Run the damn ball with D-Lo and J-Stew for 3rd and 5 or less and take the pressure off Cam.

 

Also, hit the hell out of Mark Sanchez. Force him into mistakes.

[ItsPantone278]

I agree but I think there's more to it. Turnover difference is key as well. As is red zone offense and defense.

Vastly overrated. We've had huge TOP and no points to show for it plenty of times. Playing for TOP with 10 minute drives capped off by a field goal is exactly how we've gotten blown out multiple times.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

We need to put up points. Simple and plain. 

[CPF4LIFE]

Exactly the way this coaching staff likes it...............unfortunately.

Exactly why im ready for that philosophy to hit the door and Rivera is well if he is not willing to change.

score points and time of possession becomes moot.

Not much works well when your defense is 31st in yards per drive and 29th in pts per drive.......

That actually makes you one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Ball control doesn't work well paired with that nor does much else

[LA_Panther]

Our offense under Shula this year is is a clear illustration of why TOP is the most useless offensive philosophy.

[KendrickPanther]

The Eagles lose the ToP battle every single week. It means nothing to them. Points will determine who wins.

[KendrickPanther]

They can literally score a touchdown faster than we can go three and out.

[Growl]

TOP is the real scoring measure.

Those other numbers are secondary statistics.
