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?
