This weekend was a perfect example. Thegame thread was ridiculous, Nfltrends, the titans are going to run all over the Pats. Yet if MOB post something like this he is jumped on for five pages. We are here to help one another, but if someone is really off ( like me with my dogs ) then bust away. I was wrong about Nfltrends, and love the info. Last year Mob was wrong with his playoffs picks, and he was jumped on for two weeks.
NFL Trends is a proven, quality handicapper. If he puts his opinion out for the board just say thank you. Instead you find a way to rag on him.
He's not always going to be right but his opinion and thoughts are valuable.
Can't answer for MOB. I don't know anything about his handicapping or the info he provides.

I totally agree.
I didnt see the NFL Trend talk about the Titans. I did see the MOB bashing. Before the game in a thread he posted his opinion on the game and reasons for New Orleans. I personally did not agree with his analysis or another poster from New Orleans that was so sure QB play determines the winners. Obviously that was proved wrong with Brees, Ben and Matt all done for the year. I personally thought I had a good spin on the game. The one thing that worried me was Brees getting hot. I also stated that over a month ago that New Orleans was the team that worried me the most as a Vikings fan. He was totally shut down in the first half. QB rating of 0.0 in first quarter. The Vikings let the Saints hang around. INT and blocked punt and next thing you know its a game. I also stated very early that the Vikings would have an advantage in coaching. This was the key to the whole game. You call a timeout before the last play and that is the defense you call? 3 recievers go right and you dont have a deep safety. Terrible coaching. I hate that idiot coach for New Orleans.
Being at least opened minded enough to listen to someone else's opinions will only help people in the long run. Some of what MOB said turned out to be true.....irrespective of if the game covered or not. I serves no good purpose to attack someone like MOB because you dont agree.
One of the main reasons I do not post is because you have to hear crap.....but on top of that it becomes personal....or you are wrong because of your political opinion. Give me a break. I dont give a shit what you political opinion is.......if you can handicap games logically and can pick more winners than losers or have a specialty that you are good at.
In the game forum.....there was fun friendly comments about the game and then that idiot Gas Man showed up. Easier to just leave than listen to his bullshit. How do the mods not ban his ass. Forum doesnt need crap like that
I don't post plays here anymore. Still like to shoot the shit with some of you and I still share most of my opinions here. The smart remarks and all that I have NEVER done in someone else's pick thread. I don't believe in it. I take this hobby way too serious, especially the NFL playoffs. So all the joking and hate I'd choose to pass on. I can have a laugh and joke about Lavar Ball or public incidents. When I was younger I didn't separate business and fun enough and I didn't approach it like I do now. If you take it serious enough it becomes business and I don't knock on anybody's plays, opinions here or anywhere if they also take it serious.
That was 10000% pennystocks in that thread talking shit to me....out of the blue...I haven't mentioned that dude in about 6+ months. I would love for a mod to confirm that it wasn't him.....

Way too many clowns here to be real. This is the biggest forum so it doesn't come as a surprise. That one weirdo acting like a 50 year old woman just was the last straw for me personally. The picture of a 50 year old woman. Like come on, what woman is hanging out on this forum as much as that person? It could be another Bruce type but I don't know, but I don't understand it and it creeps me out. So I'm cool with laying low here and the people who want to read my posts will read them. The threads is what attracts attention, not really posts.
style and history may have something to do with it
if you tend to be abrasive and fight with posters, then you're just going to be involved in more pissing contests
I used to be more involved in pissing contests, butt I gave that shit up a few years ago

Well spoken.
Didnt agree with your analysis in another thread but I would not stoop so low as to personally attack you for expressing your opinion on a game. Can have a friendly discussion and exchange ideas.....hopefully it helps someone with their own decision making.
I have watched all of the Vikings games and their defense is very good and I didnt think New Orleans would be able to run. I also said the offense has kept them off the field some and kept them rested. I was worried about Brees. What happens he gets hot, offense turns it over on first play and the defense looked tired. Was a fun game to watch.
Peace Out and good luck the rest of the playoffs MOB
