Skins/Falcons goat of the day

[MTK]

On a side note is ridiculous really that hard to spell?

Seems like a lot of people struggle with that one.

It's "retarted"

Well I didn't see the game so I can't comment on a goat. I do know though that Rex Grossman had a 1.3 (not a typo) passer rating today, the Texans had -5 total yards passing today, and yet those teams found a way to win. Would be nice if, in spite of whatever struggles JC had, we could have as well.

This is the first time I've had to disagree with you Matty. (Your anger is coming out in your posts.) The two of you will have to agree to AGREE. I think if you review your posts (your's and BigC's) you'll find you're both saying the same thing: if one just saw the game and knew nothing of the "history" going in, Jason Campbell is definitely a possible selection as the goat. But if one factors in that it is his third start, he shouldn't be. You are just differing on whether one was supposed to factor this in for the poll or not.

(While you were horrified, adjusting for the fact that Springs was out, I thought the defense did reasonably well for much of the game. Even though Vick was completing passes, I felt the pass defense was just a hair off most of the time instead of just looking silly as they did earlier in the season.)

I'm not angry at all, believe me I don't get that upset over something I can't control.

I'm just amazed that people can watch a D give up 250 yards on the ground yet point the finger at other areas as being more problematic.

I guess some choose to take the poll question very literally and want to analyze the performances soley on that day, which is fine but seems a little narrow minded to me. I chose to keep the big picture in mind as I made my choice.

Putting it like that, than yeah, it would be hard to point the finger at JC. But reread the title of the thread. Sounds pretty cut and dry to me. Maybe "goat of the big picture" would have been a better title, than some of us wouldn't sound so narrow minded, as you like to put it.

I understand "goat of the day" to refer to this one particular game. If you wanna factor expectations into the equation, then "who was the biggest disappointment" would be a more appropriate title.

If we use your logic Matty then JC would be exempt from ever being the goat, as would every other rookie or young player on the team.

You can analyze that one game while also considering other circumstances such as JC was starting just his 3rd game.

I didn't realize goat of the day meant take everything else out of the equation. Next time I'll be more clear.

I guess when you have the worst D in the league, no shot at the playoffs, and the most fickle fans on earth, all that's left is to argue semantics...

I voted for other because the goat is Gibbs. He constsntly talks about getting away from what we need to do but the one in charge of keeping the team doing what it needs to do is Gibbs. This loss is on him and he gets my goat vote.

I agree with what you're saying that we can't expect Campbell to be a star all of a sudden and he needs some time.

However, the language was highly inappropriate. So...First warning. Say anything even remotely like this again, you're done.

LOL. Isn't JC in his third year? Does one year make that much difference?
