That's... expedient


Well, you see Roger, no one ever plays a perfect game, so blame here or there can always be had. However, you can lay blame in a logical fashion based on performance. You see, when a team loses 51-50, you don't blame the offense for not scoring 52. That's stupid. When a teams loses 9-6, you don't blame the defense for giving up that FG. That's stupid.

Whats MOST stupid though, is any time you lay the entire blame for a loss, as you've done, on one or two plays. No one loses because of only one or two plays. That thought process is so simple minded it's hard not to laugh at. There are missed opportunities on, literally, every drive. Crazy concept, I know. That's how people who actually understand football think though.

But giving up an astronomically difficult dribpve in one minute is ok.. we can overlook that and blame the offense for playing the odds

You should print these rules you make up so all of us can be on the same page as you. I certainly don't want to upset you any more, you seem very strained.

Thanks

No one actually blames the offense for the loss against aTm, not alone anyway. We were just using your own dumbass logic against you.

I'm not sure why I'm surprised that you completely missed that.

No I'm just able to identify and apply context to discussions. Something you seem to struggle with.

This right here. They're having a fit because somebody wants to hold the defenses feet to the fire but they have no problem slamming the offense constantly. I think if everyone would just try to be fair about things these discussions wouldn't be so heated.

You think saying the aTm game was lost 100% because of 2 plays by the defense is fair?

We've been saying both sides deserve blame. At least I know I have.

It's a pretty important social skill there Roger. Perhaps not for a "plant baw"?

I think the missed field goal hurt just as much as anything but it doesn't matter. They win or lose as a team. The minute people start being honest around here is when the discussions will become more civil.

Tell that to Roger. He's the one who disagrees with you.

Who's saying it's ok?

Why not try to get 4 yards to wrap up the game though?

Seems to me if you choose the decision tree that relies on the fewest amount of events that have to occur in your favor, you maximize your chances of success.

Well you should probably possess it, your reading comprehension is highly overrated in your mind. You have a terrible habit of extrapolating things that are literal and generalizing them.

You get terribly offended should anyone disagree with your made up subjective rules.


(I'll give you a minute to look up extrapolate)
