Because you're suffering from chicken little syndrome?

It's just gas

No truer words have ever been spoken.

GB had 8 more pass attempts than us this year. Another example of opening mouth and inserting foot by Joe. He implies his stats would be as good as those QBs if only this that or the other. Or essentially he implies he is as good as those QBs if only he were given the chance. It is stupid to say stuff like that even if one believes it.

Are you trying to imply that GB runs a run oriented offense like the Ravens do? Their leading rusher ran for 700 yds. Them having 8 more passing attempts doesn't even begin to tell the whole story of the offense.

I suggest you shake off this bad feeling you have and get excited. The media thinks
Houston has a good chance of winning this game because of how shaky Joe can be,
the Ravens players and coaches know that it will be a tough hard fought game so it
doesn't matter how the fans feel about the game. I know you have a history
of being a pessimist from time to time but now is not the time, I won't stand for it LOL.

Regardless, he gains nothing from saying stuff like that, and if anything, it will make his media critics revel even more if he plays poorly.

So are we now mind-readers or did he tell you that?

I am trying to say that Joe threw the ball 8 less times than GB. In fact I did say it. They didn't throw the ball more. And the idea that not having a running game helps your passing game is also nonsense.

Stats are used to tell what ever story the person using them wants. That stat is for the whole season, it doesn't include basically 3 games in a row where Joe threw like 50 times each game...

Posts like this want to make me bang my head repeatedly against the wall.

I am just going to stop now to save my blood pressure from going through the roof.

Why would he need to tell me that. It is obvious. Look around, everyone says it is obvious. The media gives Joe less credit than he deserves. 9/10 people here are saying it. Do you agree or disagree? Does Joe believe this or not?
