Hey look GTripp, it's the holiday season and even if it weren't, I want you to know I never meant to personally attack you throughout our debate (I may have sounded harsh at times, but I felt like I was defending my own level of intelligence and analysis).

Personally, I think one thing that is great about this site is that it's a place to come and vent as Redskins fans and also delve into intellecual banter about the current events revolving around the team. But when you make comments like people "poorly" try to dispute you... I get irritated all over again.

You say, "Remember Hail, the only thing I ever said you were flat out wrong on was when you said PPG is the only stat that matters. I proved this pretty convincingly. And you never really disputed that."

REALLY???? HUH????

Let me just remind you of a point I made that showed you didn't make such a CLEAR argument that PPG don't matter as much as points per drive and that we are average at best in this regard...

You said...
"But you'll also notice that we rank 10th in points per drive, and 12th in TDs per drive. Now look at the numbers. We are closer to #25 (Jacksonville) in points per drive than we are to #1 (Baltimore), and we are closer to # 26 (Oakland) in TDs per drive than we are to #1 (Pittsburgh)."

I said...
* How exactly is 10th in the league closer to 25th than 1st? How is being in the top 10 bad? or top 12 even? out of 32 teams, that's CERTAINLY not "middle of the pack" and DEFINITELY not close to 25th.

Also, you know we are DEFINITELY higher in the top 10 after this passed week in "your" category. So this argument solidfies the fact that we have a good defense.

You DEFIN ITELY haven't even come CLOSE to definitely proving me wrong on even ONE point... ESPECIALLY points per game allowed.

I'll finish with this nugget:

ONLY ONE, count that ONE, team in the top 17 in PPG allowed is out of the playoff hunt besides us... the Cleveland Browns (Their offense hasn't scored a TD in 5 games).

Is that not significant????
