Stop trying to make sense! I ruffles the Debbie downers feathers!
Okay...I'll bite.
Del Rio played 3 quarters, not 2.5 - the injury occurred in the last few minutes of the 3rd quarter (he went out, NT got the ball back, and the 3rd quarter was essentially over). TheMatrix then says "he played 2 and a half quarters"....where he already missed on 11 pass attempts....but if he had finished the game he would have completed 7 of his last 7 passes for 64 yards....and 2 TDs (when he had ZERO through "2 and a half" quarters)???
So, you chime in "stop trying to make sense"?? Let's break that down: "make sense"? It makes sense that a QB had ZERO TD's through 2.5 quarters (actually 3, not 2.5....stop making sense there!)....and he's missed on almost HALF his passes....is all of a sudden going to light it up in the 4th quarter and complete ALL 7 of his pass attempts? (TheMatrix said it would be "reasonable" to assume he'd finish 21 of 32....when he went out at 14 of 25 - no, that's not even close to "reasonable"...that's delusional!). Then of those 7 completions....for all of 64 yards he throws TWO touchdown passes....after having ZERO (TheMatrix said "reasonable to think" he finishes w/ 250 yards....he had 186 when he went out).
Yeah, "stop trying to make sense"!
The fact is Del Rio should not have even been in the game when he got injured! If he had done his job we would have had a substantial lead and the backup QB would have been in there getting reps for the final 20 minutes of game time. But because LDR had thrown for ZERO touchdowns we were in a close game with a team that finished 1-11 last year. So, no...it makes NO SENSE to think he'd go 7 for 7, 64 yards and 2 TDs in the 4th quarter.
I think my response to TheMatrix's post was very appropriate: "LOL"

Look, we all hope Del Rio's return makes a difference...but as I suggested let's keep this in perspective. If LDR has anymore North Texas outings vs. SEC teams we likely lose. Completed 14 of 25 is not good against anyone, except maybe Alabama. Have a TD to INT ratio of 0 to 1 is not good against ANY team. Again, keep it in perspective.....please.
