Remember how everyone used to get mad when all of the threads about the defense, WRs, RBs, etc. would get turned into blaming Andy? Do you realize that the exact opposite is just as obnoxious?
If I say "Andy played poorly in all 4 playoff games, we really need him to play better" in an Andy thread, I don't need some jagoff running in to tell me how bad the run defense was too. I get it, the defense wasn't great either, but that's not what the thread is about so go make a thread about the playoff defense if you want to talk about it. I'll gladly come in and ***** about the defense as well. I'm not excusing their performances, I'm just talking about Andy in an Andy thread, and I think it's dumb to start playing the blame game instead of giving him his share of it as well.
I understand that we have guys biased against Andy here, but if that annoys you so much maybe you shouldn't act exactly like them except with an opinion on the other side of the extremist fence.
I brought it up in the other thread, but you really need to lay off the whole part of excusing Andy for the 4 playoff losses if you're going to keep giving him credit for the 40 wins. You can't say "ANDY won 40 games" and "the TEAM lost the 4 playoff games". Wouldn't you get pissed if somebody said "the TEAM won 40 games, but ANDY lost the 4 playoff games!"? Exactly, so cut it out.
Excellent points all the way around.
The only point I'd disagree with is the emphasis should be put on the QB much more so than lets say an OLB who had a bad game. The QB is the most important position on the field by far....if he isn't getting it done more than likely the whole offense won't get it done; case in point the offense hasn't scored more than 10 points in any of the 4 playoff games. That is a direct reflection on the QB. Now you can argue that AJ Green didn't play great or dropped a few passes but the majority of the responsibility should be put on the QB. He's the one that touches the ball on every offensive possession and his stats and performance have been completely unacceptable in the playoffs. That is a fact whether people want to acknowledge it or not.
