But look at the gaps in the rankings differences each year, they’re not that huge:

Good points all. He had 4 picks in that Packers NFCCG.

I was wondering where you were going with this and you didn’t disappoint. Well done.

Tell me more. Seriously. Can you explain?

Ah hell. Dammit. Thank you.

It was 2nd down. I see your points, just had to be pedantic.

Poor Marty. He told McCree about such a situation before the game, McCree fucked it up anyway, and they canned his ass. Ridiculous.

Lynch was notoriously bad at very short-yardage situations that year, IIRC.

Wilson ran the play his OC called. Malcolm Butler is the only reason Wilson wasn’t the hero. I don’t think the play call was that egregious.

I’m doing a terrible job of explaining my thoughts well: I guess what I’m saying is that a guy like Sherman who accepts no excuses from Russ for the struggles of the offense (because of, say, no offensive line) shouldn’t use the lack of Wagner for a quarter and a half (I think) as a reason for not holding a 10 point…

Fuck dude, I’ve been working on that for a while. It’s a 3000 page magnum opus.

I guess what’s always bugged me is that you know damn well the defensive players on that team would not have accepted similar excuses for a loss had the offense been the unit to pick up injuries in that game. OK you lost lane, and a bigger loss later was Wagner....so what? You had the Legion of Boom and a ton of other…

A fair point. I’ll allow it.

More people should care more about me being absolutely correct. My wife, for example.

When was the defense carrying him? The last time I saw this defense they were blowing a 10 point 4th quarter lead in the Super Bowl and giving up 36 to Atlanta in the divisional round. They ain’t the 2002 Buccaneers.

+1 bug-eyed stare

What is it about Russell Wilson that makes people so goddamn dumb, even apart from Benoit? Benoit is taking a dump all over a tremendously exciting, talented, accomplished player for no good reason. He leads his team in rushing for crissakes!

Bingo, used to live in Brighton, can confirm. Used to see them over by the Harvard Football stadium too.

The NFL will hire Ted Wells and pay him $22.5 million for him to come out with a report saying that Goodell was only asking her if she planned on buying the movie.
