Tell me I'm not right here. If the score is the only thing that matters in football, why the heck did we play the last 20 minutes of that game?

Good point. I actually wanted Gibbs to pull some of the starters because, after seeing Rogers and McIntosh go down, I didn't want to risk any more injuries. But, that doesn't go to class, that goes to whether Gibbs was smart for keeping guys out there. And, to that, many in the game thread reasonably suggested that it might do damage to the players confidence if we pulled them. The same cannot be said of Belichick's players, as they were clearly going to leave the field confident.
