I've seen you rip people personally out here before because you disagree with them. I don't appreciate that you've now done it to me.
Im not ripping you personally, I am disagreeing with you.
If you can find a personal insult, show me and I will apologize and retract.
The fact that I disagree with your opinion is not a personal slam on you.
Last post you implied I said you were disloyal, and I didnt even close to that.
You can twist my words and question my logic all you want, that's fair:
Im not twisting anything. When I say your comments INDICATE then that means that is how I interpret your opinion. Its your opinion. I can only interpret it, I cannot make it what it is not.
You argue that saying we shouldn't focus on homefield is the same as saying that seeding or homefield "isn't important," that's just not the case;
I am saying that we have the opportunity to take control of HFA. If you are saying the game isnt critical how can you not be saying HFA isnt critical?
Also please show me where I said they have "no chance to win,"...if you look at the Predict the Score this afternoon, you'll see that I'm planning to pick the Pats to win, which I wouldn't do if I didn't think they were or at least had a good "chance." I'm now at 18 in that contest and finished at 14 last year; I think I have a pretty good sense of the team week by week.
See that is me interpretting your comments. And that is you explaining you did not mean what I thought you did. Why is that upsetting? Isnt that the way its supposed to work.
Is the board supposed to be all "Good post dude:rocker:" and nothing else?
Disagree with my stats or twist my words, fine, but don't get personal and say I'm "scared" or "ignorant."
Where did I call you ignorant? Using the word to describe people using statistics to say 6-2 isn't 6-2 isnt calling you ignorant.
I did say you seem scared of this game. I can't understand downplaying the importance of a game that is a tremendous opportunity to take control of the critical HFA meaning anything else. It appears from your comments that you don't want to call it a big game only because you fear a loss. Perhaps I misunderstand
Again, my conclusion from your post is that if you say a big game isnt big then you are scared. Again, correct me if I am wrong.
My argument remains the same: I think the Pats should be taking one game at a time and that looking at homefield or the bye at this point is premature. However, I don't feel the need to call you names.
I have not called you names.
I agree with one game at a time, but this one is clearly a big one because it has more impliations than any one game.
For example, winning this game and losing next week leaves us (assumin they eah win their other game) tied with Pitt, owning the tiebreaker, and tied with Indy losing the tiebreaker. Losing this week and winning next (same assumption) puts us behind Pitt without the tiebreaker and ahead of Indy with the tiebreaker. Clearly this game is bigger than next in the long term implications, and much bigger than all the other games except the one vs the Jets. In other words, it is the 2nd biggest game left on our schedule in terms of playoff implications. I look at that as the 2nd biggest opportunity to accomplish something with a win. To downplay would seem to me to indicate you are thinking it is a loss. Again, perhaps I misunderstand, but if thats the case, I do not know why the extra implicaitons of this game are something you see no improtance in.
