Oh come on. We don't need roster analytics or advanced film break down to see the enormous gap between teams that met twice during the regular season and got taken apart both times. This is like watching someone use advanced metrics to break down the skill differences between Mike Trout and Will Middlebrooks.
I understand that the Colts match up poorly, but they match up poorly because they're not nearly on the same talent level. Then, once we've accounted for the massive talent gap, we can talk about the marginal effects of the 6 lineman package on their linebackers or how the Pats secondary matches up against the WR.
This post is chock full of suck. Let us count the ways:
1. The Colts and Patriots met once in the regular season.
2. "Roster analytics" - a bullshit term you made up in response to being told to go read something. Anything.
3. "Advanced film breakdown" - another bullshit term that means nothing in reaction to being told to go educate yourself.
4. A spurious analogy based on "advanced metrics" that serves to distract from the discussion.
5. An ADMISSION that the "Colts matchup poorly". Which, when you re-read the thread, was the point of the discussion. So, thanks. You did get the point, you just wanted to make sure you could be as obfuscating as possible in conceding it.
6. A re-statement of something else told to you up thread.
7. Hey...where's your proof the Colts are "soft"? It must be missing in between your capitulation to the discussion points up above.
8. Oh, so matchups DO matter?
9. Again, where's the proof the Colts are "soft"? Got any? At all?
10. To recap, you made a debatable claim. It was challenged. You doubled-down. You were given hints to where you could educate yourself. Your response was to go to bed, wake up, and add this to the discussion.
Congrats, that's a pretty excellent example of how to poorly discuss shit on the internet, complete with strawmen, moving goalposts, and a basic misunderstanding of the sport. Good job, good effort.
Go make a scatter plot.
