DMN Blog: Cowboys refuse to apologize for win/Brooking cherishes the win

[The30YardSlant]

I am, are you not?

Do you want to answer the question?

Of course I am, I just dont think we will

My point is that if we are discussing Dallas, and the entire debate is centered around Dallas' chances of making the postseason, and you are actively rooting for them to make the postseason, then why bring up losing teams with winning records in december? Just for the sake of arguing?

We arent talking about the slackjaw teams that get on a roll in december. We're talking in reference to teams in the postseason hunt

I don't drink. You can't do it can you?

Thank you.

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You should just claimed you were drunk and ran with it.

 

[utrunner07]

Do you think the team would have literally given up after this game had they lost?

Im sorry did you miss the end of last season??!?!?!?

 

[peplaw06]

I said "at the time" ok? I didn't hear the "win and we're in" about the skins game in week 4. but I did hear it in week 17.

So the reason December games are more important is because we cannot predict the future?? Brilliant!!!

If you think that the players are mentally soft... then what does that say about you?

I already told you, it says I'm pragmatic, imo.

 

[The30YardSlant]

This is exactly my problem with the naysayers Bach. You've got nothing, yet act like you are so much more informed than me.

I in no way think I'm more informed than anyone else

I just think I'm being more realistic, given past rends and current levels of play

 

[Rampage]

I think when you're actually playing a game, it's the most important game.

If you asked when we were playing the Commanders game -- is this game more important than the last game of the season? Very obviously the team would have said the Commanders game was more important.

stop acting like this. the Philly game was more import hands down. the December games are more important unless we are clinching the division very early.

 

[Hostile]

No, it's probably just "pure stupid luck" that some are more informed than you. :laugh2:

It sure would be if they actually were. Luckily I don't have to worry about that.

 

[theogt]

stop acting so like this.

Rational?

You're still not answering the question.

If the theory is that December games are more important than September ones, then it has to prove true for teams that do not make the postseason right??

Answer this one. Which games are more important for the Titans this season? December or September?

Another question... What was the Cardinals record in December last season?

 

[Rampage]

the reason they're more important is because the outcomes have a bigger effect on the season unless we have clinched the division very early.

 

[utrunner07]

Rational?

pwhahahahahaha from the guy that claims will go 11-5 based on our history....hey...hey theogt...they are all laughing at this statement.

 

[Hostile]

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You should just claimed you were drunk and ran with it.

Alas, I don't and won't lie. I'd say more, but to what purpose?

 

[peplaw06]

I already told you, it says I'm pragmatic, imo.

Pragmatic to give up on the season when you're team is 2-3?? That's rich.

Why am I not shocked that you don't think your opinion is a mentally weak one?

 

[Bach]

It sure would be if they actually were. Luckily I don't have to worry about that.

Luckily

The fact that we can't predict which teams will make the playoffs prior to the NFL season does not disprove the notion that trends exist in the NFL.

There are reasons certain franchises are consistently more successful than other franchises. There are reasons teams such as New England, Pittsburgh, and Indianapolis have had more success over the past decade than teams such as Washington, Detroit, and Oakland.

If a team is managed and coached like the Patriots, it's far more likely to be successful than a team managed and coached like the Commanders. This isn't a controversial supposition, in my opinion.

See post right above yours...

Yeah, not very controversial in mine either. Your point is very well made and rational so it'll probably be grossly misconstrued or ignored entirely. Better you than me.
