These aren't excuses, these are facts, but you're too naive to understand that.
That's rich.. you calling me naive when you've proven yourself to be absolutely ignorant in this thread. And yes, they are excuses and no, they are not fact. About the only thing you can say is that it's your baseless opinion.
Again, it's about opportunities and maturation. Woodhead has been in the league for 4-5 years and found his niche with the Pats, solid role player, does some things well, STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE UPSIDE OF MCKNIGHT, WHICH IS THE DAMN TOPIC OF THIS DISCUSSION. It's mind boggling how you still don't get it. I'm not even saying McKnight has done better than Woodhead up until this point, but that is exactly what you're arguing about.
Take your head out of your ass, would you? In football, you make your own opportunities. THIS is Woodhead's 4th year. And He's proven that his upside is higher than McKnight's, to this point.
You're claims that I am the one who doesn't get it are pathetic and certainly not fact. They are your worthless opinion.
They are dead last, period. What ever you want to spin to make yourself feel better, and I guess in this case, the more important stat is "points allowed." I went to NFL.com, looked up team defensive stats, the Pats were at the bottom.
That stat you looked up is based on yards allowed. Not on POINTS allowed. Since you can't comprehend the difference, let me spell it out for you. Points allowed is what determines who wins the game. NOT yards allowed. You clearly can't grasp that FACT.
Oh goody, another personal insult. :rolleyes
The Bills will come down to earth, the Raiders are improved, but still have flaws that will iron itself out as the season progresses. That is my opinion, and I'm sticking with it, sorry. The Raiders also didn't rip the Jets, they won with one big run, and some trickery, and it was a horribly officiated game.
The Bills have come down to earth? Because of one very close game? You seriously are fooling yourself and clearly are the naive one.
The Raiders beat the Jets. Period. How they did it doesn't matter.
Umm, no, not just the Raiders game, EVERY game, that IS the Patriot offense, Brady and the passing game. They are not an offense that runs the ball, they do it just because they need to from time to time to help offset the time of possession battle, this has been the case for the last several years if not more.
Seems to me you have trouble reading english. During the Raiders game, the Pats used the run to set up the pass. You'd know that if you knew a damn thing. Clearly you don't. Keep on deluding yourself. It's definitely what you are good at.
Well, I certainly don't claim to know more than you about the Pats, but to suggest Woodhead has carried the load, and then in the same sentence justify BJGE as a 1,000 yd RB, that certainly doesn't make much sense, now does it?
You have basically done so in this thread with some of your claims about the Offense.
You also seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. I pointed out 4 games where Woodhead got more snaps (carrying more of the load) than BJGE. Something that you claimed he hadn't done. I did NOT justify anything about BJGE in that sentence. That is you making sh!t up. OH, and BJGE was a 1000 yard rusher despite not being the main guy in those 4 games. AND despite this being a "Pass first" offense.
I cam to the Pats site, because the Jets are playing your Pats. The proper term is "know-nothing" not "no-nothing," and again, I never claimed I knew more than anybody, but if you're going to post BS, I'm going to call on it.
So, now you are trying to tell me what I meant in my own posts? You just love making a fool of yourself, don't you. No. The proper term is not "Know-nothing." The proper term is what I used. No-Nothing. As in WORTHLESS. YOU are the one who has posted BS. You're attempts at calling me out have resulted in nothing but you showing how much of a fool you are.
And again, as for the topic of this thread and my contribution. The REALITY is Rex thinks McKnight has a higher ceiling, and I've presented some of what I feel might be why he thinks this. Since then, all I've received is a bunch of insults and Pats fans crying and throwing stats at me, ALL OF WHICH provide NOTHING in support of the topic.
The reality is that Rex Ryan lied through his teeth about McKnight because, otherwise, he'd have to admit he did something wrong.
What you have received is many articulate posts that have shown Rex to be talking out his rear end. What you have received is plenty of posts that have used facts (not opinion) to show that this idea that McKnight is somehow going to be a better player over the long term just hasn't been supported.
The insults you have received are those deserved of someone who just talks out his ass, makes things up, and only looks at reality when he wants to.
Having a higher ceiling means that McKnight will, over the course of his career, do more in the NFL than Woodhead. Sorry, but he's not shown anything to make anyone with half a brain cell or more truly believe that to be the case.
