Instead of crying about it, why didn't the Redskins put a big hit on Brady?

That would mean they'd have to get to him first.

I don't call it running up the score, its more like the "fuck u" touchdown. This game we had two. BB walks up and down the sideline with arms extended and middle fingers up..toward the rest of the NFL. If they can do it against the Colts they will. BS calls, Polian whining all the time, rule changes etc.

i dont believe in the term "running up the score".
what should a team like the pats do...just stop playing after theyre up 35-40 points or let the redskins score because their defense cant stop the pats?

its stupid. why should one team be critisized just because the other one sucks

Besides handing off the ball on 4th down is the right thing to do. What the hell are u supposed to do. It was a blow out with 4 min left in the 3rd. I really don't know what they were going to do with 19 min. If u let u get injured.

This is the NFL. These players get paid millions of dollars to play the game. Matt Cassel was rushing for touchdowns untouched. The pats had there 5th string running back in the game in the fourth. The skins should have made some stops instead of whining about the game. The skins have a very good d. Well actually Gibbs said he had no problem with anything. It was some whiny lb who said it. And of course the talking heads. Yet again it's the media hyping to no end. I dont know what the pundits want the pats to do. Back up qb , second and 4th string players. Simple plays. I mean what should they just hand them the ball if they are up by a lot in the fourth because the big bad pats played good football. Brady rushed for two td's on of which he could easily have thrown for. He choose to keep it and rush. He could have had 32 td's if he was stat padding. Ob he was not. Its not the pats fault the skins got manhandeled. This was a top defense in the league , not some shitty team. The skins where 4 -2.

In 2004 the colts won games by the same margin, of course no one cared

I agree. Just because the pats score a bunch of points then start running it and the skins didn't stop them they are the bad guy. Oh sorry redskins players, heres the ball. Here you can have the whole fourth quarter to score all the points you want since you cant stop us. Now don't feel to bad here are your touchdown's, we will put in out practice players instead of running easy plays with the backup qb and 4th string rb.

It has gotten ridiculous. People are just taking shots at the pats out of jealousy. The colts where throwing the ball when they where up big on the jags. I don't understand what these clowns want the pats to do if they are up by 30 points in the 3rd. Just stop playing? Forget the fact they prepared and need all the practise they can get for the colts. They cant win with these people.

I agree. I don't think a team should ever take its foot off the pedal. You never know what can happen. Teams can always come back. The Texans scored 29 in the fourth quarter a week ago. If a team is worried about the opponent "running up the score," they need to play better.

Belichick is pissed that the rest of the league shit on the teams three SB titles after spygate and is giving a big FU to the rest of the league. I honestly think in December the Pats could put 60+ up against the Jets at home

I agree completely. I have this image of Belichick standing there with two middle fingers pointed at the TV cameras and muttering to himself "fuck you, I'm going to kick the living shit out of everyone for questioning my greatness".

That 52 point performance was humiliating for the Redskins. Yikes.

BTW, 8 games into the season and Brady already has more TD's than in any other season. That offense is a wrecking machine.

no kidding, these guys look for the slightest disrepect as a motivating tool, now after the whole camera thing and the Jets with a rookie QB and injuries everywhere they are going to get DEMOLISHED in December, and I can't wait to see it.

30 tds to two ints is just retarded.

60 points to the Jets?

?? Try 100-0 and that game will be played in NE. I bet there will be plenty of cops on hand for that one.

When it comes to scoring, there are no Marquess of Queensbury rules for gentlemanly behavior. The Patriots have to try their best to score.

However, when it became apparent that Belichick was going to keep his starters in the game to run up the score, Gibbs should have done what any self-respecting coach would do: Put 9 or 10 in the box and blast Brady when he goes back to pass. Hell, the Skins are going to give up the points anyways. That might make Coach Belichick think twice about running up the score with his starters.

headhuntersix · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2007, 08:57:58 AM »

Thats all u could do..its the Friggen NFL folks. What the hell is the offense supposed to do....it's their job to score points not punt. They have to play Indy this Sunday and that will require 60 mins of football (I hope not

) but in all likelyhood it will. These guys have to be ready for 60 min not 43 like in the AFC championship last year.

I agree 100%.

Mr. Brady should be out for 2-3 weeks.

So what would you like the pats to do when they are up huge with 11 min left in the 4th quarter? Just hand the ball to the Skins and say thanks for playing. Castle came in and a ton of the starters came out with more then 5 min left in the fourth. The pats are running Castle and the skins cant even stop him. I dont know what you guys want them to do.

I wonder why Manning never was threatened by fans when he was throwing td passes in garbage time in 2004.

Look at it this way. It's one thing to defeat an opponent. It's another thing to keep your starters in the game to humiliate the basic dignity of the other team. The Pats were up 38 to nothing at the end of the 3rd quarter. Brady and the other starters should have sat out the fourth. Practice running the ball with the second team.

But no, Brady et al. had to tack on a 4th quarter score.

That's Bush league in my books.

And as for Peyton Manning, I don't care what he did last year or this year. We are talking about the Pats not the Colts.

Anyways, I don't see a whole lot of 52-7 games from 2006, do you?

The Colts have a classy organization, coach, and team.

The Patriots do not.

Hope this helps.

Yes, they ran the score up but the other team gets paid to stop them as well.

I don't want to hear the Patriots cry when somebody cheap shots Brady late in a game.

I agree that Belichick isn't brimming with class but to categorize the rest of the team and organization that way is incorrect.

I could list example after example of how much class members of the team and Patriots organization have shown but people don't care right now. Hating Belichick has become a sport all it's own. It's a by-product of their immense talent and skill as a football team and organization.

I've never been a patriots/brady fan, but for some strange reason i find myself hoping they give the pats a good old fashioned thrashing.

headhuntersix · « **Reply #22 on:** October 30, 2007, 04:32:33 PM »

I'm done with the Pats bashing...lets review this so-called classy organization ok

How about this bullshit - March 29, 1984: "Like a Thief in the Night"

What could be worse than one city stealing another's football team? Before dawn on March 29, 1984, Robert Irsay's Baltimore Colts load up Mayflower moving vans and skulk off to Indianapolis.

Now the stroke of final indecency. Stealing away under the cover of darkness, like a common thief in the night. The Baltimore Colts, a once-proud and precious tradition, have apparently been kidnapped from their home and loved ones. It was this city that gave them birth and nurtured a franchise to the pinnacle of fame and fortune.

A despicable injustice. An outrage. First torture, then rape. It could, if the dastardly deed is done, be referred to as the murder of a football team in the first degree. Yes, a foul blow, but Baltimore will be back to rise above the cut-throat tactics that have been inflicted upon it by the sheer madness of money. (John Steadman, The News American, March 29, 1984)

headhuntersix · « **Reply #23 on:** October 30, 2007, 04:47:18 PM »

Whats so classy...Because Manning is in 9 million ads..or Dungy walks around on the sideline like a fucking zombie except when its time to whine like a bitch and throw the red flag. Why are they the good guys..they turned up the heat last year during the AFC championship game...while it was known that the Pats had a flu epidemic. The there is this...

The Colts' complaints about some apparent defensive-holding infractions that went uncalled in the final minutes of their loss at New England in last season's AFC title game were a catalyst to the offseason directive by the league's competition committee for officials to crack down on clutching-and-grabbing tactics by defensive backs. And the stricter rules enforcement that resulted played a major role in this season's league-wide offensive exploits, which included quarterback Peyton Manning breaking Dan Marino's 20-year-old NFL single-season record for touchdown passes.

The media ballwashing for Manning BEFORE his SB win was unbelievable. So its now Classy to pipe fake crowd noise into your stadium for an advantage? The League told them if they where caught, they would be fined for CHEATING.
AND YES I HAVE ALL THIS CRAP SAVED BECAUSE I FUCKING HATE THEM....sorry.

I can go all night

Colt's comeback vs. Tampa Bay: Colt's miss Field Goal - oh wait there's a flag for LEAPING!!!!!!!! WTF is leaping. Only time called in the history of the game.

DEN playoff game: League warns John Lynch they will be watching his every move against the Colt's. First time he gets physical with their receivers they are going to eject him. Give me another example when they ever did such a thing? Colts are a bunch of pu$$ies.

PITT playoff game: Polomaulu INT - oh wait here's the ref to to say it is incomplete. Head of officials admits BLOWN CALL!!!

Same game: PIT lined up on offense. Entire Colt's defense jumps offside. The ref throws the flag - ON PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Film clearly shows no PIT player even twitched no matter how hard you try and find it. Refs convene and come to their senses - NO PENALTY ON ANYONE!!!! again WTF

NE last year: Interference Penalty on Hobbs for "FACEGUARDING"!!!!!!!!! No such penalty exists - there must be CONTACT in order to have an interference penalty. Except when you play the Colts. Again, head of referees admits BLOWN CALL!!!!!!!!!! Official letter from the NFL.

Same game: Troy Brown called for Offensive Pass Interference. Bullsh*t call. All he did was run his route.

Jeff Saturday holds on every play. Never called.
