If this guy was a 1920's NFL candidate, I still wouldn't be impressed...sorry.

How many folks believe Murray will rush for more yards with the Eagles than our starting RB behind our O-line? None of us know for sure who that RB will be just yet but the more important part of that is running behind our O-line. Any takers?

Behind our O-Line?

You understand the Eagles had the best run blocking O-Line in 2013, and their O-Line continued to get better and better last year until they were ranked AHEAD of ours?

Murray is running behind a pretty damn good offensive line.

So take the bet.

That may end up being a "suckers" bet, as I don't believe we're not going to have a "starter", per se. Neither Randle, McFadden, nor Williams is going to get the same number of carries that Murray should get as the "feature" back in Philly's offense. Murray SHOULD get between 20-25 attempts per game, while Dallas will have two backs that COMBINE for 20-25 carries per game. As such, Murray should also end up with more yards.

That might end up being the bug in the ointment. If our top two rushers each end up with 900 yrds I'd call that success but if Murray gets 901 yrds, he will have outrushed them both and I would lose the bet. Thanks for pointing this out. Maybe I should rethink this before agreeing on this bet.

You called me on it by making a different claim. This should not be hard.

And victim? While you certainly are desperate to take me down a peg your flailings are pathetic and obvious. You certainly do have an axe to grind.

It's pretty routine around here that your cabal come after the local optimists. Unfortunately for mouthbreathers threatened by multisyllables, I'm just as militant.

It must be a hard thing to do . You went to the "poor ole mistreated me" BS without answering the question . You made a dishonest claim to support a team decision and you refuse to explain yourself. I called you on it and and you start with the usually BS about being attacked. I don't have an axe to grind or care about the big words you use inyour dishonest post. The words are not the problem, the dishonesty is. A former poster on this board used the phrase that said " I am not that damn important". Well, neither are you. For those that know me, I certainly have much more going on in my life than to worry about deflating your ego and taking you down a peg. Once again , you are playing the victim of the "cabal", whatever that is. Now , please back your original statements up or move along.

Asking a question and basing your argument on it is not an argument. You are assuming the premise is correct and it is literally called 'begging the question.' The name is apt particularly on message board because you end up with ninnies running around parroting questions and acting like they have accomplished something. We see that here. You certainly act like you have accomplished something as you insist I am nothing.

The bolded portion was nice and megalomaniacal though. You claim to have better things to do yet here you are. Your actions belie your words, honest one.

Your argument with me saying that Murray had only decent power was 'ask Richard Sherman." My response was 'why do I need to look up your argument for you" and you have morphed it into this buttchapped snarl we have of a post here.

:laugh:Calling me a liar for an opinion. Let it all out. Of course youre not mad.
