Search Results: strength and weakness

And if so, do you think that this is a weakness, or a strength?

I was curious. My sister and I are huge sports fans and watched Undisputed starring Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe and they talked about the potential the Arizona Cardinals could lose the remainder of their games since they are currently underdogs the rest of the way and may go 0-15-1 and wondered if the tie against the Detroit Lions was an upset. Shannon Sharpe said Kliff Kingsbury was afraid to go for 2 and played for overtime for a not to lose situation than a win situation and afraid they may have been like the 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns at 0-16 if he had gone for 2. They were mentioning rookie quarterbacks and their success or failure rate. I know it wouldn't be as big of an upset to tie as to win but not asking level of the upset but if it is still an upset.

My sister and I differ in our views. I consider an underdog tying a favorite as an upset but she doesn't. She said it is like climbing a mountain when unexpected and not able to reach higher but not falling back either, so it is a standstill and no upset. I said it is like imposing strength over weakness and the weakness can't overcome but stayed at the strength and able to be kept at bay, thus still an upset.

Whose side do you more agree on? Mine or hers? I can see both sides.

A favorites job is to win and not winning means failed mission.

An underdogs expectation on average is to lose and not meeting the expectation, is thus an upset.

So what do you think? Also, please give a compelling example.
