Re: What Type of Fan Are You?
Nobody is saying they are the be all and end all, but they matter for reference points to get everyone on the same sheet of music. I don't disagree with anything you are saying, in fact I think you are 100% correct. I think the Saints are a struggling team and I don't think they are that good.
The reason I brought it up is because you were adamant that the fact that the Lions were injured somehow makes the Bills win not relevant. Sure it is not as "quality" as if Johnson played, but that doesn't mean it is worthless. At the end of the day a win is a win and you can only criticize so much in a win. After the Bills/Pats game I listened to Bill Burr the comedian and he was flipping out about how bad the Pats played and about how it wasn't a quality win. That of course is nonsense from a Bills fan perspective, because I thought the Pats embarrassed us and looked like they were in a different league. The reality is you win the game and move on, that's just the nature of the game.
My biggest pet peave around here is when people refuse to give credit for wins and give the Bills all the credit in the world when they lose. That is just being dishonest. After the Pats game I give us very little chance of sniffing the playoffs, but I'm not going to sit here and lie. Credit is due where credit is due, even if they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
And no, a single player who in a single game against a single team had as many yards as someone else does not make them equal. That is absolutely apples and oranges and you know it.
