Funny how people read what they want to read. The very first part of my post said:
Why is pointing out something that happened, A FACT, considered a "whine"? There are lots of reasons why the team is in the position it is in, all of them controllable but the coin toss.
Perhaps if your thread title used the word "affect" instead of "decide", people would have understood your hidden meaning better.

No one thing determined this season. There's like a zillion things like the coin toss that just didn't go our way that half the time you could expect it to go the other way. Injuries, drops, bad penalties, teams not losing certain games, and the list goes on. If a team breaks the IR record, goes 11-5, and still misses the playoffs, you know they are snakebitten. That would be us this year.
You mean the one you edited after you called me that?
Yeah, I put in the winking smiley face after calling you a crook? - - because, unlike you, I believe the question mark isn't enough when someone is throwing %hit up against the wall to see if it sticks.
I'm pulling your chain here, but the point is that merely putting a question mark after some statement doesn't mean that you are not seen as backing that statement. Journalists use that crapola all the time when they passively aggressively ask someone a tough question that they don't have the nerve to say themselves - -i.e. "It has been written about you that....."
If you bring up a point, back it up and stand by your point - - don't get intimidated and say "Oh, I was only kidding, or just asking a question I heard from someone else, etc".

So, your claim is the reading comprehension in this forum is so low, people don't know that "This season was decided by a coin toss", a declarative sentence, is no different then "Did a coin toss decide our season?", an interrogative statement?
