    It happens when people spew misinformation....for instance:

    "The Falcons have beaten 11 teams this year"

    Thats a blantant mistake and makes them seem better than they are, thus overrating them....

    "Brian Westbrook was 3rd in the league in yards per touch last year"

    Also not true, as we found about a 100 players with a better yards per touch....

    I dont ask a lot, but please do your research before you make ridiculous statements, thats how teams and players get overrated....

    Are u serious? The Falcons are 11-5..they won ELEVEN GAMES...it is all semantics, dude. Good grief! No matter if they beat 11 DIFFERENT TEAMS - the fact is that they won 11. I'll take that OVERRATED ELEVEN WINS ANYDAY! I don't give a flyin'
    f!&$ if it was against NFC, AFC, JV, my flag football team...they are still NFC SOUTH CHAMPS!

    Is that clear?

    Oh my gawd, you went there [​IMG] When all else fails, blame it on the sex.

    For starters, what is it that I am wrong about? I don't even know you. I've been on this board for about 2 minutes and here you are chasin' me down for "whatever" it is you are looking for.

    I'm done with you. NEXT!

    Can you read? I didnt call you stupid, I asked if you were stupid....you, of course, answered the question with a yes by continually avoiding the questions that were asked of you....I will spell it out for you and I will talk slow...

    1.What 11 teams did the Falcons beat(this is asking you to list off the teams the Falcons won games against this season, all 11 if you can name that many)?

    2.What QB's rushed for 200 yards and passed for 100 yards in a game this season(this is asking you to name all the QBs that accomplished those milestones)?

    Now that I have explained it too you, I would appreciate an answer, if your capable of finding one....

    Players and teams get overrated because the NFL WANTS to make them overrated. The NBA died when Jordan, Magic and Bird (etc.) retired, so now they're trying to build up Manning and Vick (among others) to carry the torch when Favre, Bettis, Martin, Faulk and the rest of the "old guard" retires.

    Everyone makes mistakes... I can guarantee that people in this forum have nothing to do with players (or teams) being overrated.

    Abvously you cant compare WR and RB when looking at yards per touch. You need to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

    Then compare recieving yards per touch among backs, and rushing yards per attempt among backs. Everyone know that recieving YPA is higher than rushing YPA, so backs who have more carries are going to be lower on list.

    That statement is correct, but how many other statements did I have to wade through to get that out of you?


    Im still waiting to hear what QB ran for 200 yards and passed for 100 more and the 11 teams the Falcons beat this year....Even after the playoff game ran their record to 12-5, they still havent beaten 11 teams....

    Hehe, the Falcons are in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! Ladeeeda...ladeeeda...

    Oh and by the way, MV passed for 250 and ran for 100 vs. Denver. No other QB in history has accomplished that before but you never hear about that.

    She's right. Vick's done it. 252 passing yards, and 115 rushing yards, 2 TD passes and no INTs against the Broncos.

    For the record as well he was 18/24 in the passing area that game. Seems like he has accuracy to me.

    the statement made was 200 rushing and 100 passing, not the other way around....

    True, probably just a typo because flip the question around and she's absolutely right in what she stated about the 200 and 100.

    Shes right that no other QB could pass for 200 yard and run for 100 in a game? You sure about that?

    McNabb has done it, so did Cunningham, and I am pretty sure same is true with culpepper and McNair and maybe even Fran Tarkenton...

    I found 2 instances of the accomplishment on the 1st 2 players I checked:

    Aaron brooks 203 Passing(2 TDs), 108 Rushing vs. SF 2000
    Donovan McNabb 230 Passing(2 TDs), 100 Rushing(1TD) vs Jax 2002

    So either the statement was 200 rushing and 100 passing, which he hasnt done, or its 200 passing and 100 rushing, which he has done along with other QBs....either way, the mis-statement has been exposed and my work is done....
