Well Folks, It Is December

[Bach]

We can start with the easy one. There is nothing about 2008 or any previous season that matters to an 8-3 team and guarantees they will go 2-3 to finish 10-6.

That was silly of you to ever claim to see a trend for. Really silly.

Please show me Hos where I guaranteed a 2-3 finish. I take it reading comprehension is yet another area you have failed to master.

 

[Bach]

So it's only a trend and only applies if it's convenient to your argument? Got it.

It's a trend as long as the pattern continues to exist. Once the pattern ends, then it's no longer a trend.

I can't believe I actually have to explain certain basic words to some of you.

The pattern existed all the way to a 13-3 finish despite getting beaten by a tough team in the playoffs. What happened? The "trend" would seem to suggest the Titans would not start off 0-6, right?

Or maybe they didn't have the same team out there on offense and defense, a key free agency loss on the defensive line, some injuries to the secondary, a quarterback unable to drive the bus like he used to...

Nope. Must've been the 1 game trend of the playoff loss.

Could be. Could be certain things did change and the pattern stopped being a pattern and the trend doesn't exist anymore in this situation.

But to act like every team is reinvented each and every year and you can't glean anything from any team from past performance is ludicrous.

When you start trumpeting reasoning based on trends of past seasons rather than more recent evidence, i.e. a current season, you tend to be either talking out of your rear end or making a guarantee. I assumed the lesser of two options. If you wish to claim the other, that is your right.

I told you being a one trick pony would expose a lot of flaws in your logic. You have no one to blame but yourself for what you have become. But you can continue to blame me and try to spin control your way into a football svengali.

Every time I ask you to predict something other than doom for the Cowboys you run like chicken on crack. It's my fault others have noticed your "trends?" Fine. I'll take the blame. I don't mind because I'm not the one looking bad.

You just contradicted yourself here. Royally, I might add.

Don't try to run and spin. Show me where I guaranteed a 2-3 finish, or should I presume you were just talking out of your *** again?

Really? I've already stated that trends exist until the pattern changes.

Run? From you?

In a pig's eye.

No, you didn't guarantee it. You mistakenly trumpeted it as a trend and there is no such thing in a current season as I have proven. It is interesting that every player on the team agrees with me that last year doesn't matter this year. You're right, but me and the entire football world are wrong?

Don't flatter yourself. You aren't at all clever.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I think Hos just does not want to jinx the Cowboys with big expectations.
I think Hos and the rest of yew will be in a nice surprise this December.

No, not run from me, from your statement.

And yeah, that's right, I didn't guarantee it. Thanks for admitting you were just talking out of your *** and making things up to fit your agenda, like usual.

My agenda is to make you look foolish?

Damn, I'm good at my agenda and you suck at yours.

Once again, more talking out of your ***. You really do that well. Congrats.

Thank you. The 2-3 prediction will prove you are better at it than I am. It is a trend.

Don't sell yourself short. You flat out lying about what someone said is a far cry from me predicting us to go 3-2 or 2-3, but leaning towards 2-3. The latter is a prediction based on who we have yet to play and recent late year trends. The other is just a flat out lie talking straight out of your ***.

As I have already proven, previous years do not matter in a current year.

I dont know how to load up pictures or videos, but thought this was funny Hostile, after the guy said run to one of your posts. Trying alittle humor here.

Well, you've forgotten one fac -- you haven't proven anything.

Good write up, Hos. This is your best piece ever in terms of "articles". It flows well and made an on point analysis. And I couldn't agree with you more. Reading that article made me feel like I wrote, which says a lot because I have a big ego.

I got on this morning to start the day with some leisure reading and perhaps writing, but now I have nothing to say. That would have been my angle on it and you centered it around antagonizing the December Downers, which has nothing to do with this team. I tell you, my friend, that was a good article with a professional feel. And I don't think you reflected homerism. 'Twas objective and challenging in the sense of confronting the December Downers. Not just a "good read" but very poignant.

Kudos on that one.
