|schotzee| Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Yea, at this point of the (season) there are only a select few teams you can call Superbowl contenders imo obviously bc they have proven it consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I could just as easily ask why legitimate facts about the state of this franchise get labled as "blind homerism"? It is not the facts. It is the poster. Lots of people mention negative facts about the team, but also see the positive. Haters obsess about the negative and never mention the positive.

When you confuse things like prior years records and which NFC division the team will play with relevant facts you will hear about it. If looking for the hole in a team that will keep it from achieving it's goals is "hating," bring it on. It's also called critical thinking. I was trained to use the scientific method which, at the time, taught me to challenge my own hypothesis and attempt to prove it wrong. It's a heck of a lot easier to try to prove yourself right and overlook the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we all supposed to be some blind homers who thinks the Bengals are the best in the NFL when they haven't proven it on the field? Uhh, yes.

No one ever called that "hating". So what is your point? There are lots of members here who are capable of talking about the problems with the team but also see the positives.

So attempts to do so, are already frustrated. As admirable a thought process as it is (we must have had the same teachers), all it ever showed me was that very few things in life are absolutes--which I already knew.

Le Tigre Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Proves nothing. Try the many "opinions" to the contrary. And theories only partially contain hypothetical argument, which is the basis for yours. Yeah, smack my fucking head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
