Henning/Crossman

In deciding a game, or evaluating an offense? I mean, I know and knew you'd try some bullshit trap so you could claim a win, and completely ignore the actual argument or my points. As long as you can distract from the actual point, right? That search for "truth" sure is valiant.

 

That's an excuse, not a point.

Do you really believe that one blowout loss is completely, and wholly, analogous to judging an entire NFL season?

Points speaks to Fox's philosophy. Yards speaks to Henning's. Even still, using your preferred critiera, we're still not a good offense.

 

The "point" is that scoring obviously is much more important than yardage. Remember that awesome defense we had in 1996? It was considered a great defense because it was 2nd in points, but it was actually only 12th in yardage. According to your definition, that makes them "crappy."

 

If that's not a "point," then neither is yours about turnovers. It's blindingly obvious that points are more important than yardage, you're just willing to lie to avoid admitting that.

 

I will not say that Henning has "failed" us. I just think sometimes, it's just time.

 

That defense made a lot of plays. It was heralded for sacks. And no, I'd be fine with our offense being in the top third of the league every year in scoring.


And I'm not lying. I find it funny how hard you have to stretch to make this personal.

 

He's not failed. He's just never put together the offense we've needed. We don't get the first downs, the yards, that we need. We've only been good at what we set out to do, once, and that because we bought a Pro Bowler. We've bought a bunch since, and still nothing.

 

So was the 1996 defense "crappy"?

 

I was heading there. We were, what...13th overall?

But we did set a record for fewest points allowed after halftime in a single season. That made that unit a special one.

 

No. When did any of our offenses rank 2nd in scoring?

Ranking, on average, 18th in scoring, is your point about how we're not bad. 20th in yards, BTW.

So when do faulty logic circles equal facts? When do non-analogous situations make points? Does anyone have any oranges? I'm trying to make an apple pie.
