The Chadinette Handbook of Excuses

[#27TheDominator]

12 yards/13 yards = the same thing. Even someone trying to mount an argument would agree with that.

8 of his 11 interceptions this year were on passes of 13 yards or less. 7 of them were 10 yards or less.

Actually here are the totals:

9/11 = attempt of 15 yds or less

8/11 = attempt of 13 yds or less

7/11 = attempt of 10 yds or less

5/11 = attempt of 9 yds or less

3/11 = attempt of 5 yds or less

2/11 = attempt of 20-26 yds

Three interceptions on passes that didn't travel forward more than 5 yards, including a 3-yarder and a 2-yarder. That is just pitiful.

First of all, I was really only teasing when I brought this up. It really doesn't seem like they return his too far, knock wood. Maybe that's just after years of watching Richard Todd chasing people down for the tackle. Good job on the interceptions, but it doesn't look as though there have been many return yards. What's your take on that? Floaters with people under them or are they so short LBs and DL are picking them? I wonder how the distance his interceptions are thrown differs between this year and prior, but God I hope you don't go through the trouble.

Maybe Chad is injured or it is a residual effect of his injuries, but Chad's bread and butter has been horrible.

Sperm, I appreciate the hard work you do, but you waste your time. Those of us that use facts and common sense have long ago reached your conclusions. Those that refuse to look at any facts will not be swayed by your latest excellent factual based argument. I've been to boards that blame the defense for the loss to the Bears. It's quite frankly ridiculous. You're not going to change most people's minds on anything, but it's even worse on the internet. I hope you're not actually expecting the Chadinettes to read your post and have an epiphany.

It does get ridiculous when that happens and it p1sses me off, too. Especially when a HC does it. A week or two ago, fvcking Lllllarry "The Worst Coach in div 1 football" coker was interviewed during halftime in a game they were losing 10-0 and said "Welll, the defense has to play better." WTF??!!

So, it is frustrating to hear the wrong units being blamed, when nothing could be further from the truth.
