I had a guy fumble on the 1 yd line late 4Q for the cover (Florida). Another game the guy hits a 47 yd TD with 10 sec left (Tennessee). Another where the QB scrambles for 30 yds to FG range with 20 sec left for the FG, goes to OT and I push (Minnesota).
I wasn't on the right side. I don't blame the defense or a particular player for a loss, etc.. Its a loss.
In a perfect vacuum, where we do our pregame handicapping where no variables exist, it can be frustrating for the unforeseen to happen. But that's part of the deal. Shit happens.
When you lose by 2 scores, I don't care if the guy threw 6 picks. That's how he performed, its not the right side. The defense had a part in those picks, they forced them. That's part of the game too. If the team you handicapped to win the game had a guy throw pick after pick, its not the right side.
Voodooboogaloo, I'm not correcting anybody, and you can take your little kids comment and put it someplace. If you want to join the legion of apologists, be my guest.
Mnfats. You should know better, because you're a solid handicapper. There's a difference between commiserating over a loss....get em next time...and excuse making. I don't mind commiserating at all, its the excuse making and right side/wrong side nonsense.
John C,
You're assuming that without 6 TOs the game plays out the same way. It doesn't, and the defense caused those TOs.
I'm a PW fan, have given him plenty of props. Respect his skills. Sometimes we are on different sides, sometimes the same. I've got a 2U under on Clemson, he's got the Over.
I read his threads to see who he likes, and the pictures aren't bad either. If it makes you feel better to handle a loss by saying you were on the right side, when you weren't, fine.
