But, as I said before, I'm not blaming him for doing so, I would have done the same thing if I were in that position. Point is, Reid wanted to send a message to the rest of the league that the Eagles are the team to beat and they started their run to the Super Bowl last night as far as I'm concerned. Despite the Redskins' record, not many teams can score points like that against this team.

Point is they weren't running it up in a bad sportsmanship manner. It was 14-14 in the 2nd half. They had 38 rushes on the night. They were just incredibly efficient in what they did. If they really wanted to run it up, they could have scored a couple more TDs at least.
