Did you over-react to the work of Casshole?

"Bledsoe sucked"

- Bledsoe was a Pro Bowl QB both before, and after, his time with Belichick


"But I need to see it over the course of a full season"

- The Chiefs have 9 wins, and will have a winning season


"But I need to see it in critical games"

- Cassel just came back from an appendectomy and helped win a game that the team needed in order to stay ahead of the Chargers


"But he hasn't won in the playoffs!"

- He hasn't played in the playoffs, either, because the 2008 Patriots were unlucky enough to become the only team to miss the playoffs with an 11-5 record since the league went to 4 divisions in the conferences. Manning is .500 in the playoffs, and Matt Ryan is 0-1 in the playoffs. Would you be bashing them, too?


If you think the threads haven't gone in a that sort of vein, you haven't been around here much.

Those are great.
Now how have those posters moved their goalposts?

Moving the goalposts, also known as raising the bar, is an informal logically fallacious argument in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded.
