Can I get a ruling?

Actually Billy, here is what I said:

\"Billy, dropped passes, penalties, missed blocks, etc. happen all the time and they\'re not drive stoppers. That\'s like me saying that Brooks has 300 incompletions this season so obviously he\'s stopped more drives than the rest of the team combined. No, a dropped pass or a penalty is NOT a drive stopper unless it happens at a specific time. A couple of weeks back, Horn dropped a pass and Brooks went back to him the next play. We scored on that drive. Gardner\'s two drops on third down plays stop drives.

You see, when Brooks fumbles the ball and the other team recovers, the drive is over. A holding penalty on first and ten hurts, but doesn\'t necessarily end it. A holding call on 3rd and 8, or a dropped pass, well, those both pretty much end the drive.\"

Man this is like taking candy from a baby. So you\'re trying to tell me if we are faced with 1st and 20 because of a holding penalty that this isn\'t a drive killer? I suppose if we make 20-yards you would be correct. Hell, how \'bout first and 30? You make me laugh !! Actually I\'m sad -- For you -- I thought you understood the game of football better WhoDat. I was wrong again. \"

You classified EVERY dropped pass, missed block, or penalty as a DRIVE KILLER. That means the drive is OVER. If these CAN be overcome, then they\'re harmful, but not KILLERS. A false start on first down DOES NOT kill a drive. A dropped pass on 3rd down does. You said that is an incorrect statement. Members of this board will continue to side with me, and you probably still will not admit that you\'re wrong AGAIN. You\'ll try to slither out of your argument, twist it and turn it to make it look like that\'s not what you meant. In reality, it\'s EXACTLY what you meant, which shows me AGAIN that you are willing to argue anything, no matter how ridiculous, to prove AB is god.
