    3rd down proficiency is the biggest reminder that there are lies, damn lies and facts. 3rd down proficiency is mostly determined by what happens in 1st and 2nd downs: if you get decent yardage to produce a 3rd and short, then you magically are more proficient at 3rd down conversions, yet that is hardly mentioned when announcers speak of "3rd down proficiency." It is a fact which is often a lie when they leave out that teams highly proficient at converting 3rd downs do so because they are usually operating in a 3rd and short scenario, not 3rd and 8 as Pgh often is, because we suck at 1st and 2nd downs; we run Harris for his less (often much less) than 3 ypc and wonder why it's so hard to convert 3rd downs.
    That's why success rate is more useful. Factors in yds gained on all downs relative to getting the 1st down.
    Example; a 2 yard gain on 2nd and 8 is not successful.

      I agree that it's hypocritical of Windy to call you out for being negative since most of his posts are also that way.

      maybe the internet isn't for him...

          Getting called out for being a hypocrite would make you need the ignore list as a crutch; perfectly predictable and well suited. And Bingo was his name-o. Better to use the ignore list than having to face up to being a hypocrite I guess.

            I disagree.
            I can deal with "most".

            There is a difference between "most" and "all" ones posts being negative

            When ALL of someones threads are negative, you cannot reason with the person.

            In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

            TCFCLTC-
            The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

              Windy started both of the fights with us, guess he can dish it out but doesn't know how to take it when people call him on his hypocritical bs.

              instead of manning up, he hides behind the ignore feature like a true coward.

              the internet is not for him.

                BTW, I highly recommend the whack-a-troll Ignore button for ignoring trolls, which is what whisper and angryhawaii are by literal definition. Of course, my apologies if they're actually women, which would explain their petty, obsessive behavior.

                  starting fights with other posters and then continuing to insult them while you hide behind the ignore button like a coward.

                  the internet is not for you.
