Thread: Practice / press conference notes, etc. - week 11 (Bear's week)

Joel. Kilgo is not as good as the rest of the lineman in our rotation. That doesn't mean he sucks. And he has been game day inactive, right?

And why can I not ask for the status of a player that went off the field due to injury? You're being beyond childish right now.

Kilgo played better than I thought he would today.

Agreed, he has massive potential. Could be a steal with where we got him. Hoping he puts it all together.

All true, hence that was my reply to your comments not even hinting any of it. People were debating whether he's bad or just undisciplined: You said talent's kept him from joining our many undisciplined starters on the field, that you reserved judgement on his preseason hype until he played real games, and that he's only nominally on the roster. Context matters; that reads like taking sides, not offering a third option. If you meant what I said in reply to, fine, but it was poorly expressed.

Recently, yes, hence the earlier questions you dismissed, but he's not been inactive not all the time "since he's been healthy:" He's played in over half our games.

You can ask anything, but asking about THAT after earlier saying we're fine at NT and THEN asking if it's my "pet issue this year" is hypocritical. Is it YOUR pet issue this WEEK? You worried about having no active NTs AFTER Sly was hurt when we DID have one active; I worried he'd GET hurt back when we had NO other NTs active. Maybe if you'd considered rather than mocking the question then you'd have noticed the answer I was given then and reassured by yesterday.

Regardless, mocking a sincere question due to sheer personal animus forfeited all right to claim the mature highground; later ASKING the same question previously derided as ignorantly superficial just made it comical. And since you've stated we agree on Kilgo, that makes this just another "adult" catfight, so I'm bowing out of it.

I don't have any issues with the depth at tackle Joel. I saw a guy go down, no updates given by the broadcast crew, and decided to ask someone who is a twitter ninja if he had seen anything. Then I saw Sly on the field and my question was answered. It really is as simple as that.

If you could just be straightforward with what you're trying to say instead of tap dancing here, there, and everywhere else before attempting to make your point, you wouldn't get in these "adult cat fights" because your point would be clear.

That's an odd criticism since your original comments said many things, but NONE of those you later said they meant, else I wouldn't have replied by CLEARLY making each of those points. Details and illustrations provide clarity. I have many discussions with many people here without any catfights; the petty spats are solely due to a few grown men behaving like an adolescent girls clique. You've stated we agree on Kilgo, so now we're just debating style points for the sake of doing so; you're welcome to the last word on that.
