You are doing nothing here but playing with semantics. I can use any rhetorical style I wish to tell someone I disagree with them and it will not be a personal attack unless I somehow insult their character, morals, integrity or something like that.
Based on your logic everything I disagree with someone they can squeal that it is a personal attack. It is ridiculous to claim that disagreeing with someones opinion is the same as calling them a troll.

No I di not. I knew you would make some silly claim like that. And that is why I asked that you use the quote button. Idid not ignore anything. I addressed every reasonable argument put forth.

I have never claimed that the entire season was a fluke. All I did was point to the fact that every single one of our last 4 victories were decided on the last play of the game and they all went our way.
I also pointed out that our "skill and planning" only resulted in a #7 ranked offense and a defense that was in the bottom half of the league. So "skill and planning" did not seem to make us a Super Bowl level team.
It seems that we need some explanation for why "skill and planning" only appeared in 2 second halves instead of all season long. We had the same players and coaches, so what is your answer?

I came up with crickets because that was a complete non-sequitur that had nothing to do with what we were discussing. Not one single person was trying to argue that Andy Reid had executed his plan perfectly.
When people throw out silly comments that don't mean anything I just ignore them.

Then we should get new players who use their skills all for entire games year and coaches who make plans for entire games all year. As the Super Bowl proved when you don't use your "skill and planning" for the entire game you sometimes lose.
