While success and failure can be defined in many ways, it is clearly not objective nor factually correct to refer to their performance as :snoring: :snoring: :snoring:
Let's see. One year, they were shut out by the Jets. That certainly qualifies for ridicule. Dominated by the Patriots once. That qualifies. Played a fairly competitive game against the Pats. OK, that's not so bad. Beaten on their home field by Pittsburgh as a result of a bungling choke job that even friendly officiating couldn't salvage. I think, on the whole, my critique is factually sound.

The "snoring" symbols most closely represent a sentiment of boredom.

You can spin it all you want but you changed the subject to one of performance (as judged by wins/losses). Assessing their performance as boring is clearly a subjective assessment. As to whether it is fact-based, it entirely depends on individual's definitions of what constitutes excitement or boredom. Performance and excitement are not the same thing. You may have found their performances boring but once again that is a subjective and personal assessment.

As you frequently do, you make subjective statements then fall back on a change of subject to argue that you've made a completely neutral and factual assessment of the situation.

Even your definition of objectivity is subjective :biggrin2:

Most sane people would say that repetitive behavior, i.e. choking like Mama Cass in the playoffs, is boring after a while.

Well, at least your responses are predictable.
My responses aren't nearly as Pavlovian as those put forth by the Peytonphiles.

To use a metaphor . . . Hatvol is the little old lady that swerved in front of the topic of this thread and made it fly over the handlebars into a windshield.

I do so enjoy manufacturing chaos.
