Still can't beat other AFC teams

[JoePong]

And it's not a theory that they haven't been able to beat AFC teams outside their division. It's a matter of record.

True, it's a matter of record recently. But then the leap you make is that we haven't beaten AFC teams recently, therefore we can't beat AFC teams.

And that is where we disagree. The future is not a slave to the past. Two football teams line up. Which division they play in? Means almost nothing to the outcome.

So how to explain the recent rash of losses to AFC teams? Is it just a statistical anomaly?

Yes, I believe that is exactly what it is. A statistical anomaly. We'll beat non-North AFC teams this year, I'd bet on it.

Wow, you are being way too literal. I didn't mean to imply that it was a universal law of physics that they are incapable of doing it. Just like a team that is horrible on the road isn't INCAPABLE of winning on the road.

I do believe it's more than a statistical anomaly though.

I'm not providing any explanation.

Nor are you offering a guess. Yet somehow in a few weeks or months you'll argue that you were always right and complain about how people didn't listen to your warnings.

I'm not sure why people can't seem to accept it.

Accept exactly what? You admit you're not really saying anything.

I do believe it's more than a statistical anomaly though.

But you're not willing to offer a possible explanation until the conclusions are blatantly obvious to everyone, right?

In the immortal words of The Dude:

No, you're not wrong Joe. You're just an a**h***.

I pointed it out last year that we are totally incapable of beating AFC teams outside of our own division.

I pointed it out last year that you are totally incapable of writing a coherent post outside of your own 2nd grade education level

Saying Pong boasts only a 2nd grade education does nothing but feed the flames. Obviously that's nonsense.

I pointed it out last year that we are totally incapable of beating AFC teams outside of our own division.

Going back to last year, we have lost 7 out of 8 games against AFC teams outside our division. The only win was a last second win against the lowly chiefs at home.

Going back even further...In our last 14 games against AFC teams outside our division, the only two teams we have beaten are KC and Jacksonville

I wonder if the Mods or Admin can change under JoePong's name where it says # 1 Bengals Fan....I mean, Really???

I'd rather they spend their time and energy attempting to get him to update Pong's sig reminding readers to pay their taxes in 2008. (Muchos gracias)

And FWIW that plea to update goes for all of you who have sigs older than a week or two.....especially those sigs featuring giant photos of David Spade wearing a beige sporstcoat.

I can see how you were mistaken and thought that was David Spade, but it is actually Actor Jacob Pitts
