If you only knew the meaning of double standard... I've tried to explain it, but I can't fix stupid, so you're on your own.
We get to see the Cards play their tough opponents LATER in the season while the Seahawks work through the puff portion of their schedule. See ringles? No double standard there. I doubt you'll be able to comprehend that though.
Meanwhile, the Cards get a couple of their tougher opponents while their opponent's starting QB is on the shelf which will make even their tougher portion of their schedule more puff than the Seahawks. No double standard there either. Puff means easy, just so you know. For instance, the Steelers without Big Ben is an easier game to win then playing the Steelers WITH Big Ben. Again, without double standard.
Since you can't get beyond your thinking that I am applying a double standard to your cards, I will AGAIN point out my first response where you wrongly accuse me of having a double standard. CARDINALS fans were bitching about how the Cards would have won the division if their QB had not gotten injured. I simply pointed out that they were actually fortunate when they got wins when they got to play opponents that were without their starting QB. I NEVER said the Seahawks WEREN'T fortunate to play teams with backup QBs going. (that would be a double standard, but since it didn't happen, you just make yourself look dumb by insisting it happened)
Sure, the Seahawks were fortunate in the same way as the Cards were, but since I was only talking about the cardinals, you wrongly ASSumed the double standard. AGAIN, I was ONLY speaking about the cards and since TWO OR MORE things are NEEDED to even have a possibility of a double standard, a double standard was not possible.
I hope that helps you, but I have my doubts.
I understand that. What I meant is last year you clearly had a double standard. You discounted the fact that Seattle got to play more backups then AZ. And then to add insult to injury you didn't count us playing with a backup with 10 games as making a difference.
I understand we play the easier part of our schedule first. But you did say the Lions would beat the Cardinals today. The Cardinals played a better game than Seattle did against that same Lions team. You could also say we played the Bears better because we played for four quarters.
What Backups have we played? Clausen. When Clausen came in the Bears were already down by 14. The score was 28-14 with Cutler.
The Seahawks got to play Clausen for 4 quarters.
We played Drew Brees, a starter. Nick Foles, a Starter, Matt Stafford, a Starter. And Kap. A Starter. So so far we have played backups 2 quarters less than Seattle.
Now I could be wrong, but it seems you are leaving out the fact you guys get to play Dallas without Romo? Without Bryant?
You guys got to play GB without their #1, and #2 WR. Their #1 RB was out as well.
You got to play STL without Gurley or Tre Mason and that didn't turn out to well.
So yes, I'd say that's a double standard because you always leave out the fact that Seattle also plays teams without their starting QB's while always having their starter. Thats a double standard. You discount the fact we've played our games in common stronger than Seattle has. If we were to even just use that as a small sample.
