ESPN, Herm Edwards Diss Eli

I love how the question was "Did Aaron Rodgers fumble" and he did...OH BUT NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Kind of like some saying that play at the end of the half wasn't lucky.

[gmen46]

You disagree?

I disagree with the "everything" part, yes. I wrote a long (I get long-winded at times, I admit) post to that effect, a few pages back.

Winning--in professional sports, certainly--is everything. Playing well consistently is an important component and contributor to winning.

"Everything" and "important component" are not the same thing.

[Buddy333]

So it's not important to be consistent all the time?

FFS.

Nobody is arguing the fact that consistency is important. It IS important, but winning is more important than looking good losing.

So if a player is playing good but the rest of the team is not and they lose its not good that he played well?

[Buddy333]

Sounds like you are saying that if a team is going to lose they might as all look bad doing it. No wonder some are not disappointed with the way the offense played this year. Hey, if the defense stinks they might as well stink too right? Good thing they didn't play that way last year.

I didn't even imply that. You're just spewing nonsense now.

You kind of did. Explain how playing consistent isn't important again.

Stop. That wasn't said.

It's the "well if you're consistent while losing that's okay!".
