An apologist's justification.

Eli Manning’s 4900 yards passing were a function of smoke, mirrors and favorable Meadowlands winds caused by leaving tarmac gates open.

Eli certainly played great this year, but I swear I have never seen so many deep jump balls caught or 6 yard outs turned into 80 yard TD’s. I won’t go as far to say they got to and won the SB because of luck, as they certainly earned it – but to quote Sidney Deane, “The sun even shines on a dog’s ass some days”

EB’s a heckuva guy.

Long live ASS!

I would love to see a group chat between FanSince09, FakeWIPCaller, and EB, by the way. That would be amazing.

Haha EB you’re crazy.

I guess I am. Huh. Go figure.

Talking point #1- The Giants won because of pure luck.

Nobody said it was pure luck. But they sure as hell had more than their fair share of luck.

Talking point #2—Juan Castillo is a great defensive mind.

Nobody said Juan is a great defensive mind. What I said at least is that he has shown enough to be competitive. And good play and coaching is how the beat the SB champs in NY with Vince Young as QB. The rest of what you said is just crazy.

Talking point #3— Reid is a better coach than Coughlin.

Actually I have to agree with this one. Coughlin’s teams are a mess that get there despite what he does (Two months ago they wanted Coughlin fired). Reid’s teams are good because of what he does. Reid gives us a better shot because you need luck to win.

Talking point #4—The Eagles have the Giants number.

When comparing teams, this is a good metric. Focusing on just Super Bowls is stupid. Trent Dilfer is a SB winning QB. Was he great?

Talking point #5—This one is straight from our defensive coordinator’s mouth. Earlier, posting under the name bdawk4ever (give it up, Juan. We know it’s you, big fella!) he wrote, “It helps to know that the best team doesn’t always win it, and just winning a Super Bowl doesn’t make a team great. Seriously, where will the 2011 Giants rank in Super Bowl history? Pretty far down the list.” It sure does help. In fact, it helps so much that we, the Apologist Supporters Society, would like to submit our final talking point…

Real nice. Maybe defend your points instead of making patently false and insulting accusations.

Talking point #6—Because of the lockout (and the fact that the Eagles didn’t have a fair chance to prepare), the 2011-2012 season never happened. Because if the season did happen, the team with the most talent on paper would have won. That’s always what happens.

Do you read what you write? This whole post is supposedly about what we believe. You include me in the previous point. Then you go ahead and write the EXACT opposite of what I said. How does that make sense?

Which exactly the question everybody should ask about your posts.

Why is this rec’d ?

sweets, and bitter sarcasm. It’s with great regret that I have to pass on entering an engaging debate with you.

But I will offer this little tidbit. This reads like a sarcastic back seat driver wife I had since divorced. She never took responsibility for getting us anywhere. But she complained about “too fast” “we’re gonna be late” “there was a faster way but you missed the turn”.

Enough with the “you F’d up andy” posts. We get it, you want the man gone. Funny thing is, folks who only know how to post “you f’d up” are at a loss when someone asks them “who would you sign” or “what would you do?”

As bad as you feel Andy is, and as many SB’s and playoff victories you believe Andy has left on the table – do you or any of the negative posts even acknowledge that it could be much worse? If you believe that Andy needs to take risks, he cannot avoid the odds of only succeeding at those risks.

Yes, the Matthews starting MLB was a bonehead. Yes, we all knew the LB’s of 2010 would be hot garbage in the washburn wide 9 in 2011.

But we improved with the wide 9. we improved the defense to a point where we can cite a couple fixes and we should be good in 2011.

We crapped on offense… with the turnovers. That never was Juan Castillo’s fault and yet nobody talks to that except those of us “defending Castillo”. Nobody put MM’s nutz in the vice, but I think we’d have a better year with Childress back as our OC than MM.

2012 will be different. And like a new deal from the same old deck of cards, this time we may get a winning hand.

Andy Reid is playing a deck of cards. It’s the same old deck. But depending how the cards fall, we might get a winner.

That’s the part of the analysis haters ignore. it’s not rocket science. It’s a gamble.

shuffle em up and deal em.
