Point taken wpr, I apologize to Uffda and all, I could have easily addressed the issue with more dignity and class.

No personal attacks wpr? Didn't you post a picture of me as the lunch lady? Just checking. I guess the second I'm deemed to have done it here comes the big stick. Meanwhile, it can be done in my direction with full approval. Honestly, as to me, I don't care. Bring everything you have but I would just ask you don't lie and twist and constantly try altering the fact I posted. It's childish.

So, to be clear, I don't care when Buck goes off on me. When Z calls me a douche among other things. It's just a reflection of being right when you want me so badly to be wrong.

Thank you to Barfarn for the apology. I enjoy your posting style. Unique. Fun. Don't always agree but you are worth the trip here. It's enjoyable to lock horns with you. I miss true debate. It's as scarce as a championship caliber defense in Green Bay.

If you'd like people who aren't acolytes to be part of the forum let me know. I clearly don't feel welcome here but I post anyway because I believe what I have to say is relevant and worthy of consideration. All viewpoints should be welcome but it's all too easy to create reasons why someone really shouldn't be here when it goes against the grain of what you believe so strongly. If I ran a forum, I would gladly welcome the 180 view from mine. I would just hope it didn't come to manipulating and changing the argument all the time.

U2, you are more than welcome on this board. It is difficult for some to tolerate other opinions. We see it in other areas of society. I have seen others express their thoughts to you. I tend to get use to it and I shouldn't. For that I am sorry.

You certainly think outside of the box. There is nothing wrong with that. One of the reasons I am here at the site is to see as many various ideas as I can. I can go to ESPN or JSOnline or anywhere and read the events that happen. I want to get people's views to those events too.

Oh, wpr...thank you. I don't care that you posted the lunch lady picture. It was funny. Just found your caution incongruent with your own actions, but, again, keep hammering. It's all good to me.

Sorry, Z...you told me this place has a dearth of responses after the post season ends. I create discussion. I wish it was focused solely on my expressed views not me but that's just how it goes. This is why I don't post in season. It's not fun being a distraction. My return in early January was going to be less of a distraction so I coupled that with it being the end of the season and into the post season to return. I figured my upbeat postings would be welcome. Now, it's Ground Hog day once again...6 offseasons in a row. The outside the box stuff is moving more toward inside it now.

What would happen if I wasn't responding? If you'd like...I'll do that. I'll just sit by while people write that things I've typed aren't factual even when they are. That is what a noble and sporting lad would do? No. Do a better job of quelling the personal responses toward me even if I don't mind them, if your aim is for me not to reply so often. As I said, I would really prefer to have the replies focus on what I've offered. Still, not a single response to my Mike McCarthy and his 3 minute and 17 second answer that relates to the question posed. That is just brutal. Simply brutal. Nobody took the time to watch what Mike McCarthy actually said? They just gather their opinions from some other source most likely Packers positive. Heck, beast cited you as a reason what I posted wasn't factual when it was. We're lost when that happens. A trainwreck. That shouldn't be allowed but it's allowed enabled and fanned. That's the only issue I have not that you care because I'm not part of the buddy club.

So, stop being butt hurt and accept you are wrong thinking offenses are ranked by yards. It's not as if it changes your point at all, and yet here you are crying and crying over 32 vs 30. I'm only left to believe you're not convicted in your thought too well since you keep harpooning this instead. 🤷

POINTS > yards

Say it with me.

Points
Matter
More
Than
Yards

Don't you feel better? I know I do.

http://www.nfl.com/stats/team?seasonId=2016&seasonType=REG&Submit=Go (Notice Houston is ranked number one in total defense under the heading: Total Defense (YPG) ---so, as you see, Total Defense is calculated by YARDS, not points)

http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/total/position/defense/seasontype/2 (Notice Houston is ranked first in 2016 for TOTAL DEFENSE...they don't lead in points... they lead in yards which is how TOTAL DEFENSE is tabulated)

I understand the frustration with me being right. I do. However, don't hate me for being right. Mike McCarthy was the coordinator for the 32nd ranked offense in the NFL. Period. Now, in Zero's world where he picks and chooses and ignores the NFL's own measure, Mike McCarthy coordinated the 30th ranked offense. All done to attempt (but fail) to have an aha moment. I'm right...again.

Total Offense and Total Defense use...YPG! Click the big box! Click it and learn!

You hijacked your own damn topic, lol. I love it, absolutely LOVE IT!!

I'll continue speaking the truth. The NFL ranks on yards not points. You can carry on with whatever childish games you want to play. You keep shifting the narrative to me saying yards are more important. This is what being a fan of this regime has brought you to. Constant rewriting of the narrative of the truth into what you want it to be. I couldn't care less whether the NFL used yards or points, but they use yards, not points. You have made yourself look bad over and over for what?

Your formula for ranking offenses has fizzled! Bahahahahah

You should stop because you're just making yourself look bad with each response of this silliness. I mean, why continue making yourself look worse? Drop it and move on. As my FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER would say, err, sing ... let it go..... let...it ... goooooo!!

The #1 defense in the NFL this year was the Houston Texans. For the alternate reality you live in it wasn't Houston. NFL has it all wrong. In your world, the NYG were the #1 defense but NFL.com shows them 10th in total defense. Outrageous!

I'll let it go when you stop trying to save face. You were wrong to start this whole thing. You always try flipping the facts I post because you don't like them. I think you think if you can divert over and over no one will focus on the point made.

Have u watched his answer yet?
