Thats BS. You don’t get to say “I’m ignoring 98 games to only count the most favorable stretch of 20” and then when someone points out that the last game in that 20 they put up 0 points (in an uncharacteristic shutout) against a team that merely 4 weeks later they put up 41 points on you try to make excuses for it.I mean don't call other people disingenuous and produce this garbage sentence. You are talking about a game where they started an injured JB because they ran out of QBs in Week 4.
Similarly, the way you emphasize shut out as if it means something is pretty absurd. You know that they were multiple times in FG distance but unlike the Jets they didn't care to score points to avoid the embarrassment of a shut out but tried until the end to score enough points to be in a position to compete in that very game. Even in the last few minutes they elected to go for it in hope to recover an onside kick.
Ironically this is something that should go into the plus column for the coaching staff but somehow it went over your head.
Yeah, let’s only count the 1.25 out of 7 seasons that make my argument work then make excuses for why the losses in my already skewed sample size don’t work. Why don’t you just say that none of the losses in Bill’s career without Brady count because it’s better for your argument.
In the context of this discussion, that’s basically what you are doing. And it is disingenuous garbage... on your part.
It would be like me saying “Let’s not count the year after Brady went 16-0 and made the SB because that clearly was an abnormally good team that would skew any sample size, and let’s not count the 4 games Brady was suspended from because he went 13-1 and if he was there they likely go 18-1 and win the SB which is the same which is the same record as 07 so same logic.” But I’m not arguing for that.
So if you are going to argue for only counting a fraction of the sample size because it suits you, you better not make an excuse for a shutout loss. That’s a crap outcome in any circumstances.
Otherwise, let’s not even discuss it and you can just only count the games Bill won without Brady to make it easy on yourselves.
