A slightly interesting stat

Re: A slightly interesting stat

Really? You're actually complaining about our injury situation which until now has been about the best in the league? Seriously? One significant player to date. Lions were missing a whole lot more than that, those were just the key players.

Nice of you to answer the question though. I realize that it's a toughie and I wouldn't want to see smoke coming out of your ears, so probably best you don't tax your grapenut sized brain on that one.

You are not understanding the point. I'm not complaining at all. I'm saying that all teams have injuries all the time and that is not an acceptable excuse for either side. I never accept injury as an excuse for the Bills, ever.

Anyways, you don't think it matters that the Lions beat the Saints with essentially the same roster? I think that is a crucial point that you ignored and it pretty much sinks your entire argument.

It's called comparative analysis. Keeps people from just cherry picking information to make a predetermined point. You know, like you always do.

Kyle Williams and Nigel Bradham both missed the Detroit game, but you don't seem to want to acknowledge this for some reason.

When we win it is because of the other team was injured or luck, when we lose it is because we suck.

Re: A slightly interesting stat

I didn't question if Calvin is a difference maker because he is a difference maker, the two running backs are average players who were replaced by another average player

Again, so you're equating George Winn with Reggie Bush and Joique Bell, right?

I wouldn't argue that Bell and Bush are very average, but you're arguing now that a RB that was on 3 teams last season, primarily if not exclusively practice squads, and one that has 16 carries for 64 yards and 0 TDs, primarily in one game against us, is an average NFL RB?

Is that correct?

Well, here is an interesting stat....The Jets are giving up 26.3 points per game this season.

Not only the most points they have given up with Rex as HC, but the most they have given up since 1996 when they gave up 28.4 points per game.

We shouldn't have any difficulty scoring at least 24 points then, right?

Re: A slightly interesting stat

Would we have been A, more difficult, B, less difficult, or C, equally difficult if we had Kiko Alonso playing?

It's football kid, people get injured all the time, and it's never an excuse.

The Lions beat the Saints with essentially the same roster. So thanks for playing bye.

You're right, they do get injured all the time. But to suggest that losing Kiko is like another team having 15 players on their injury list, with over half of their skill position players on offense, is the same thing, isn't really being honest in the sense of assessing the situations, is it?

We've had one of the lightest injury lists all season long. Even now it's not as bad as many teams. Don't equate poor planning with injuiries. Spiller and Jackson weren't doing much. Spiller because he's an overrated role player and Jackson because his days are now gone.

That's called showing up to an Tapout fight with an apron and a spatula.

Is that really your best?

Yup.

Re: A slightly interesting stat

fletch, what would help your case is acknowledging when other bring something to the table and maybe dealing with those facts. but sticking to your 5 talking points seems to just make you a politician. doesn't really know the issue, but knows what they are supposed to say about it and repeat it all the time.

Re: A slightly interesting stat

It doesn't make you any less of a man to openly admit when you're wrong instead of ignoring facts that weaken your argument and cherry pick others that support it.

You didn't respond to the crux of my point, once again. What do you make of the fact that the Bills beat the Lions and the Saints lost to the Lions with essentially the same roster? A lot of straw manning and ignoring points you cant refute going on by you as usual.
