NYBengalfan Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Who cares what he thinks, he still thinks that they are the Bungals from when he played. HE says that they cant handle losing, last week we trailed the WHOLE game until the last 5 min. How is that not being able to handle losing, I see it as handling adversity pretty darn well.

Geep Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 His rationale for his picks reads like a third grader talking, and I'm being generous. I'm talking about the third grader who's sitting in the back of the class eating paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 The popular choice will be picking Pittsburgh to pull it off on the road coming off of an embarassing loss. I don't think his analysis was all that stupid, it just seems that way to homers like us. The last sentence where he says we need to learn how to handle losing is perhaps unfounded, but the rest is sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckj414 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 damn, he sucks. You'd think they could have found a literate former NFL player.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbrooks21 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I think what he meant by how to handle losing is how some reacted after the Jax loss. Chad in particular. I still think he made too much of it, but it does seem he halfway knows what he is talking about. He is 49-39 on the year and was 11-3 last week very comparable to the "experts" on ESPN.com.

Well what other criteria are we supposed to use to discern between the great knowlegeable scribes of today and those other hacks that are about one more personal alien abduction away from throwing in the towel on being a sports writer, and take up penning those hard hitting supermarket tabloid articles! Actually you're right Shula, but if you look at any other fan forum like ours here, and they're not any different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
