Lesson learned I hope.

Would have thought he'd learned it on this one ...

Drew Brees.

Somewhere AK is blinding someone with his smile.

One week too late for one of my fantasy teams. Kamara (with Brees) got me the #1 seed in the playoffs, but Kamara (with Hill) got me a 1st round exit.

Can't wait to see what the game plan offensively will be on Sunday.

Heavy run packages? Chiefs are suspect (lowest 5) on run defense.

Patrick threw 3 picks & had 3 sacks yet they still put up over 30 points(Kelce was lights out) on a good Miami Dolphins team.

The entire O line collectively must perform better. Same goes for Will Lutz.

One area where I have been extremely consistent is maintaining that none of us, me absolutely included, can know what is best for our team without having intimate access to ALL the information possible ... which NONE of us have. If you or anyone else has an issue with that I couldn't really care less. Informing someone that they cannot know something that they indeed could not have any way of knowing is simply being honest.

This will be my last reply on this as you value no insight other than your own it seems.

If someone says Brees playing is crazy and you say it isn’t then that is a counter opinion. If you tell them the decision isn’t theirs well that’s a passive aggressive way of telling them their opinion doesn’t matter or that they are stupid... it’s ad hominem.

A discussion is an exchange of ideas. I recognize what you are doing because at one point in time I had three close family members that were terminally ill and it impacted the way I carried myself on these forums. It took Papz lighting me up to make me realize that I was just being caustic. All three family members passed within six weeks and I had to come to terms with that and what I had become, that’s why I spent over a year away.

We are never too old to look in the mirror and make half time adjustments.

This melee between Oak and AG seems to be a draw.
To break this tie, I think we should look at avatars.

While I do think AG's is great. Oak takes it.

I agree with you that they are far better informed than we are. I just hope that if the game gets decided early, OR, if our Oline has an off day they get him the hell out of there. Ribs are fragile and it wouldn't take much to reinjure himself before playoffs.

So how should I word it to seem less abusive?

"I respect your opinion that it is crazy that Brees is starting. However, I respect even more the decision making by those that have hands on knowledge on his readiness."

Is that better? Or is that still too caustic? I do value your insight, but I am who I am and I share my thoughts the way I share my thoughts. If I rub some people the wrong way I am sorry, but I am not going to change who I am.

You know what they say about opinions, right?

Simone Elkeles — 'Opinions are like *******s, everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.'

If someone feels my opinion stinks they are free to say so and give their reasoning. Have at it. There are a few here that do just that. I respect the fact that Boston Saint has done just that. But, I will defend my opinion, as well.

I have a feeling the game will come down to the very end. Every player is susceptible to injury on any given play. I'm sure they weigh all the risks when making the decision.
