A little perspective

[silverbear]

Amen.

I'm glad we're back to agreeing, I hate when we fight...

I would agree for the most part with the exception of the Giants game. The defense wasn't very good, just okay in that game. I know some want to discount the Jacobs long TD catch but that was a legal play.

For some reason, the Giants just seem to be able to move the ball on us... they pretty much torched our defense in the first game, too...

Actually, Bleu, I meant to tweak some of the other gloom and doomers, so I kinda owe you an apology... but my point stands, there's little reason not to be rather confident going into this game; we handled them once before, at their place... most important, we did a pretty good job on that "explosive" offense that you were talking about...

There's no need to apologize. Had you used smilies I would have taken your response differently. Blame the internet.

And now, that explosive offense has a bit of a problem on its hand, a backup center going up against our Pro Bowl nose tackle... this will not make them more effective offensively...

I was simply feeling the pulse of the contingent with my original post. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Hey, my PC at home is on the fritz, and I was off work the last two days... this has been my first chance to get online since the game, so yeah, I'm responding to a few threads that have fallen off the first page... in fact, I had to go back ten pages to find the first unread thread...

I never knew there was a statute of limitations on responding to threads, anyway... LOL...

Ahh... Ok. It just seemed kinda random. Now that I know the rest of the story, I apologize for flying off at the handle. I can't believe you go back and read all of the unread threads after a few days away though. That is dedication to the nth power.

I see-- you can sound YOUR "wittle drum" with what you call "perspective", but I'm not allowed to offer my own...

It's my drum and I'll sound it if I want to. Feel free to do the same. It's a free world.

Sorry, but I think my points are every bit as valid as yours were, indeed I think they were somewhat more valid... and I responded to your opinion with opinions, while your response seems to be lacking in substance, instead substituting what sounds suspiciously like a whiny complaint...

Never knew you were the type that couldn't deal with rebuttal...

You should know me by now. Long substance filled diatribes are not my preference. My heart really has to be in it to provide more than a few sentences. I save my hands for the valuable desk job. That's my excuse and I am taking it to the grave.

IMO, it had more substance than this weak response... so, do you have any reaction to the facts that I stated??

Nope.

Again, while I intended to be a bit sarcastic in my response, I did not intend to be personally insulting... sorry you took it that way, but if you'll think back to the general tenor of the posts before the first Iggles games, they WERE quite similar to your initial post in this thread-- "how are we gonna handle the explosive Iggles offense??" seemed to be the general theme...
And I remarked on how similar your post was to those posts... again, my intent was more to mock the gloom and doomers, but I didn't mean to lump you in with them...

Again, no offense taken. As stated, I prefer to operate from the middle of the road nowadays. I never get too high or too low anymore. My original post was straight from the middle of the road. What do you think our chances are? Period.

So courage, Camille, I think the Boys have a pretty fair chance of beating the Iggles, mostly because I honestly believe they're the better team...

I honestly believe we have two very good teams going head to head this week. The better team will win the game. Stay tuned.

There's no need to apologize. Had you used smilies I would have taken your response differently. Blame the internet.

Well, I WAS hoping to provoke one or two of the gloom and doomers, so smilies would have been counterproductive to that effort... LOL...

But you're right, my general perception of you is a middle of the roader...

Ahh... Ok. It just seemed kinda random. Now that I know the rest of the story, I apologize for flying off at the handle. I can't believe you go back and read all of the unread threads after a few days away though. That is dedication to the nth power.

That was "flying off the handle"?? Please, that was nothing more than a little sarcasm... I've gotten far worse than that, and never thought I was flying off the handle...

But you're wrong, it's not so much dedication as a slow night at work... this is the first 3-11 I've worked in 10 years, and Gawd, has it been DEAD around here...

You should know me by now. Long substance filled diatribes are not my preference.

You have no idea what you're missing... long substance filled diatribes are one of my biggest joys in life...

I honestly believe we have two very good teams going head to head this week. The better team will win the game.

So you think Dallas will win too... and we have a consensus, the Pollyannas and the middle of the roaders see eye to eye on this one...
