[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 4302115, member: 23516"] Dude they lost the e-commerce war! Yeah, I know. I remember all the football analysts predicting that the 2018 Jaguars would be AFC conference contenders, if not playing in the Super Bowl. For 5 minutes, it looked like it might happen. They beat the Patriots in week 2, then lost to the Titans who started Blaine Freaking Gabbert, who was replaced early in the game by a cripple-handed Marcus Mariota who could barely feel (let alone throw) the football. They later went on a 7 game losing streak and their vaunted defense ranked 28th in the league. Everyone else knew this would happen. Then the offseason came. They got rid of Blake Bortles one year after signing him to a $54 million contract and replaced him with Super Bowl champ Nick Foles and a 4 year $88 million contract. Once again, they were predicted to tear the conference apart and roll all over everyone with their vaunted defense and new QB. The new QB has been benched in favor of some goof and their best player who is among the best in the entire NFL at his position demanded (and received) a trade. They might win 2 more games than they won the previous season, which still leaves them with a losing record. Everyone else knew this would happen. Then there's the Browns, who were predicted to do as well as the Jags via adding the weapon of OBJ to Baker Mayfield and a bunch of other things that don't matter because I'm too lazy to go back and look at them and they suck. Everyone else knew this would happen. TL;DR: You place too much faith in the farts of people who don't really know as much as you think they do and you look silly when you parrot what they say. The whole is always greater than the sum of the parts. You can repeat the words but you don't know what they mean. [/QUOTE]
