    Dude these are two different games, in one of which our offense WAS terrible. Let me ask you, in the Cards SB, DID THE CARDS LET UP ALLOWING BEN TO WIN THE GAME?

    Since during the entire time we had a lead, our offense looked rather blah.

    If anything WE play different in desperation. You want patterns? Ben has done that over his CAREER.

    The ONLY DIFFERENCE in this game and the Card SB victory is:

    1. 14 point swing due to the most improbable defensive play in SB history. Rather than getting punished with a DTD, the CARDIALS GIFTED US ONE.
    2. Defense allowed only 23 points, meaning we had desperate Ben on only one drive.

    None of those differences relate to actual QB.play.

    BEN PLAYED DIFFERENTLY LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES IN THESE SITUATIONS.

    It is what makes him GREAT.

    We lost because they kept SCORING despite Bens repeated heroics.

    When we are ahead or close with time, WE are different. Did you watch the plays.

    I would suggest that it is unquestionable that they could do nothing to stop those scores, DBs were all over the receivers.

    It is literally what the Jaguars said happened after the game.

    Again, watch the tape. Save for the last score, what do you SEE that supports your contention that the Jags eased up?

    Massive compilation of Ben bombs. Most well covered, difficult was from that Jax game. Jax game has a second bomb that was more covered than ANY in this Compilation.

    I'm happy for you to have the last word on this one Lemming.

    I still think you're not correct here.

    But I don't think either of us will convince the other. Especially not by repeating things we've already said before (which I think both of us are doing now).

    Still no predictions, all you guys want to do is argue with each other.

    I have a prediction

    While I was reading your post I heard my wife make a blood curdling scream out on the patio

    I recognized this scream as the one she has when she comes upon a snake

    So I predict my dinner is on hold

    I don't just want.to just argue. If you think I just want to argue, give me proof of your false claim. You cannot because ot.does not exist. And if you are honest you will admit I am right.! ;)

    Seriously, if you are sick of this argument, NC and I have.been waging this war SINCE THAT GAME HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2018 on another forum. :lolol:

    I never let go because I respect his football knowledge and we agree on near everything so I think I can prove it to him.

    He is a great guy and it always ends with the kind of "agree to disagree" post he just made. I absolutely "like to argue" but it is never antagonistic, between us.

    (BTW, Northern gave his thoughts on the topic of the thread starting on page one. My first comment on this thread on page 11 was my answer.)
