I agree with most of that. I've repeatedly agreed that they have a good to very good rushing attack. In the end, the entire stupid argument is over the semantics of the word "elite".
-
Both sides keep moving the goal posts, so this argument is stupid. Hey, I gave some level of definition to elite and was willing to take bets on it. I tried to get them to pin down what they meant by "elite". I even offered a pretty damn liberal definition of "elite" to make it easier. Furthermore, I've never said that the running attack sucks as a whole. I did say that Howard sucks at one point in a game where he sucked. I then explained that I meant to that point in the season, gave reasons why, and speculated he might be battling an injury (which turned out to be true). None of that is either outrageous or undefined. What is outrageous on my part is that I refuse to let it go when they keep prodding me.

That would be fun.
-
Again, the primary point of creating the other damn thread was to move the stupidity (mine and others) over there.

1) you have reading comprehension issues 2) let's take this to the polls thread I created and stop mucking up the game day thread viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1727&start=125 What is there to comprehend about that post? I'm trying to figure it out. viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1727&start=125#p205476 Read more than the single post for context.

Fine - I'll change the poll.
-
The full statement there (paraphrased) was that Jordan Howard kind of sucks so far and that he might be battling some injury we don't know about. Which was not an unreasonable stance to take at that point in time. I got some agreement on that, also. no, you said "jordan howard kind of sucks, guys" 1) you have reading comprehension issues 2) let's take this to the polls thread I created and stop mucking up the game day thread

btw - I'm starting this for two reasons: 1) to take this stupid discussion out of the game day threads 2) I honestly want to find out if I'm the only one that thinks this way

Here are the relevant stats. Please judge for yourselves. http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=2&offensiveStatisticCategory=RUSHING&conference=ALL&role=TM&season=2017&seasonType=REG&d-447263-s=RUSHING_YARDS_PER_GAME_AVG&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-n=1

I did stop talking until David brought it up.

I would like to be proven wrong here. I really would. But the crux of the argument espoused by you and David previously was that I was only using one game to form my argument. We've played four games now, which is 1/4 of the season, and now David's argument is based on "they looked amazing in that one drive against the Steelers". Meanwhile, I'm presenting hard numbers that use the entire information for the season to date. Whether you believe they are going to be an elite running team this year or not, the simple facts of the matter show that they have not been anything close to elite so far. I'll stop talking about it if you guys do.

there we go. Through 7 -
Settle down, Strop.

Would the world change if Javy walked twice in a row?
-
I love how announcers stick with their script even when it's already been off during the game. Javy has actually shown patience and even walked in his last at bat. But Ernie is all, "watch him swing away here!!!!!"
-
The long game by Jon there. He wanted to get Turner out of the way there.
-
okay - that was my bad
-
zimmerman dancing around off first is the emptiest threat ever. Pujols would be as credible.
-
Why did Werth pose on that?
-
This ump really sucks. Ball one was a ball, but it's been called for Gio all game
-
That was inches away from the most Javy play ever.
-
lol Javy
-
Admit it - you poked the bear this time.

Inside to lefties / outside to righties = strikes Inside to righties / outside to lefties = balls
