I agree with the "It's the Skins responsibility to stop the scoring" to a certain extent. Into the late third or even early fourth quarter and with a point differential of 30-40 points, yeah, the Skins take the blame. But at a certain point it's a lot more akin to kicking a wounded dog than it is playing an opponent. Do you blame the dog for not "getting out of the way of the kicks to stop the pain?" Nobody is arguing that we were outplayed and outcoached in every facet of the game, but that doesn't excuse Belichick running up the score when there is obviously zero chance of a comeback. Gregg Easterbrook sums it up perfectly in his Good vs. Evil article. Well worth the read, and I'm with Gregg when I say it's obvious who I'll be pulling for on Nov. 4th.

Re: Classless Coach Belichick
I find it hard to have any respect for a coach who runs up a score. There's no need to show up your opponent. It's a total lack of class and humility, and those that support such a thing are also lacking in class and humility.

but running up the score shows no class from a no class coach in my eyes..getting a beatdown is one thing but getting your nose rubbed in it when the going is good well thats another thing all together but i wish we had that kind of killer instinct.

Re: Classless Coach Belichick
Running up the score...lmao I dont think they would have run the score up if the skins could have stopped them, lets see if campbell held on to the ball, if we could cover the pats running backs...so on and so forth. quit crying about the score being run up. This site is all good when the skins do good and when they lose you people criticize the opponent. I just dont get it. I read some of these post and just laugh at them. pointr blank the redskins have alot of work to do to get to where they want/need to be and thats the bottom line. So whats it going to be this weekend when they play the jets? lmao

Perhaps your idea of class is different than others. I mean does everyone have to have the same idea of what good sportsmanship is or what constitutes class? If not, then maybe all these posts should be edited by the big mod in the sky so that only opinions that you think are worthy are the ones that are posted. The Redskins had four turnovers. Are the Patriots supposed to just stop trying to score? Whose to say the Redskins don't get the next four turnovers considering they came into the game with the 5th ranked defense, and had been forcing turnovers in previous games. Really, this whole talk about running up the score is ridiculuous. In at least one or two games this year a team has scored 30+ points in the fourth quarter to come back and win. If anything I respect them more for not letting up...not allowing themselves to be put into a position to where a team has a chance to come back and win. |

Re: Classless Coach Belichick
Belichick is all about winning, and in a sport where everyone gets paid millions and tens of millions to play the best sport in the world, he is the paradigm. Taking shots at his personal life (of which I've never really heard about) is cheap.
If you're asking who I would rather have a beer with (Gibbs or Belichick), it's Gibbs. If you're asking who should be respected more in the national football league, it's Belichick. |

As many others have said, we have a thing called sportsmanship in the NFL. It is the reason that we all think spitting in another man's face is reprehensible, even if that means giving you an edge to win a game. It is the reason that what Albert Haynesworth did to Andre Gurode, stomping his head in a fit of aggression, is wrong. It is the reason that guys like Pac-Man Jones, Michael Vick, and Tank Johnson have served major suspensions for their off-field embarrassments despite being superb athletes who could help their team win. It has nothing to do with a coach's personal life. It has everything to do with how a coach defines the leadership that personifies his team. I found it gaudy and embarrassing when "The Ol' Ball Coach" ran up the score on the Niners that one year, and it's no less gaudy now.

It's not the Pats coaching staff's fault that we suck so bad that we can't stop the Pats 2nd stringers, or we can't get a first down to keep our defense off the field, or stop Mike Vrabel from running the same play he has been running for 4 years. Plus your crying about Brady being all smug on the sidelines? For what? You would be smug too if you just threw for 3td's and ran for 2 and were banging a hot ass supermodel. Why do so many people hate on the guy? You just sound like a little 2 year old baby who got his milk bottle taken from him. Shut up and stop bitching. We got the living shit beat out of us and all people can do is cry about how the Pats are classless. |
