Re: We Haven’t Beat A Stable Established QB

Here you go, ice. This was my response to halloween's foolish bet offer. Do I think the Saints will truly go 20-0? No. Honestly predicting a final record is meaningless. It's going to be what it ends up being. There are far too many unknown factors involved to truly know if any given team will go 3-14 or 14-3, especially before you even know the roster and coaching staff.

I suppose you need clarification. Betting anything on a team going 20-0 in the NFL is a fool's bet. I am no fool. Are the Saints likely to go 20-0? History says no. You asked me to predict the Saints record. I said 20-0 just like I did last year and just like I have said 19-0 before they went to 17 games last season. In no individual week during the season am I expecting my Saints to lose that week therefore I would not predict a loss that week. If I feel that way on a weekly basis is there a reason I shouldn't feel the exact same way over the entire season?

That's why I have always "predicted" the Saints to win each game every year for decades and will continue to make the same prediction moving forward.

So, am I going to bet those ridiculously long odds based upon your premise? Nope. Only a fool would do that and I repeat, I am no fool.

Now do you get it?

However, I would place, say, a $20 bet on a season long money line parlay for every Saints game. I would do that in a second. I would lose if the Saints lost a single game. However, if they didn't lose that $20 would roll over to the next game multiplied by the previous game's money line odds. Then those winnings would be placed on the next game's money line and on and on. At even odds (which it may even out to as they remained undefeated) the total at the end of the run would be $20,971,520. Could you handle that?

Foolish?? I guess it takes a genius to think 20-0 is smart call?

It's like a Kool-Aid kinda thing. Watching all this talent collapse against a Brady AND a Darnold... TWICE each - and if you sing "Kumbaya" loud enough, it drowns out the "Boooooo" that a dedicated fan needs to be hearing in his head.

Of course not. That why I said it would be foolish to bet on that. It's never happened in the history of the league. I intellectually know the chances of the Saints, or any other team for that matter, to go undefeated is almost impossible.

But, when predictions come into play I'll stick with my 20-0. Maybe just because it annoys you so.

Your prediction really makes no since at all. With you even knowing makes it even worst on your part. But here's the sunshine sunshine I'm not the only one you annoy on here that's not a prediction that's a fact. Your 20-0 that you predict might be 20 you annoy 0 you don't.

Now you are getting it. Season long predictions make no sense. That's what I've been saying. There are too many unknowns. I choose to say 20-0 when asked. Why does that bother you so?

Don't forget when you asked for my prediction Rugs answered first and said the same 20-0. Why aren't you upset over his prediction?

Rugs don't predict 20- 0 every season like you. Got to give it to you for trying to bring other ppl in it though, you never let anyone down there. Deflect, deflect, deflect. I would hate to see you and a buddy( if you have any) get arrested. I'm sure which way your finger is going to point.

Actually Rugs has before and there's nothing wrong with it. You just didn't pay attention to it because it wasn't me. Why does it bother you so that I predict 20-0? Honestly?

It's really kind of weird that it bugs you.

And what's with the arrested bit? Is this common place somehow? I try to avoid breaking the law.
