If you can't overcome obstacles or hurdles, then you deserve to be where you wind up. Nearly every team, every year goes through trials and tribulations, good teams can overcome those and compensate for their flaws. Do you also not think there is luck involved in football?

Kiwibrown Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Isaiah Crowell hit a run of over 50 yards vs the Ravens last season. It required a lot of weaving through the defense. Crowell didn't get the ball for the rest of the game and had 5 rushes for 70+ yards. Hue Jackson stated anyone could of got through that hole. no, no they couldn't have.

Mixon had a game with 70+ yards in the first half and no carries after the half. Marvin has done it to AJ Green before too, saying something along the lines of "Well, AJ was hot, so we knew they would slide coverage his way" and wouldn't target him in the second half. One was actually in a playoiff game vs. Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Marvin and the Red Rocket are costing him a HOF career for a very good career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N ot throwing to AJ in a playoff helps elabotate on why Lewis is 0-7 in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know to me, that’s when you establish the men. You know you take off your underwear. You put on your big boy pads. And you put your face on people. And that’s what training camp is about.” Did he have Jerry Sandusky on his staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you misunderstood the point of my post. I was talking about records denoting the quality of a team. For instance, in 1998, were the 14-2 Falcons on the same level as the 14-2 Broncos? They had the same record, but I don't think many people would believe they were in the same level, even before Atlanta got crushed in the Super Bowl. Judging a team by just record doesn't take into account schedule, injuries, or the hundreds of snaps that occurred throughout the season. Or point differential. All you're taking is the final result of those 16 games, not how the results were achieved, and deciding on a surface level how good a team is. It's really just a lazy way of analyzing a team. Which is why I think the quote is stupid. You aren't always what your record says you are as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are what your record says you are, I want a re-do in 2007 (10-6 Giants vs 16-0 Patriots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladimir L Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 The lifestyle of an NFL coach is more time-consuming with football than I enjoy doing. I enjoy an offseason, playing golf, getting away from it — this, that and the other. Some guys love being consumed with football 12 months of the year. I like to get consumed four or five months during the season. And then a little more here and there. spurrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
