Classless Coach Belichick

O.k., we're down 38 to zip late in the 2nd half and this fuck is throwing deep routes and anything else that may put more points on the board! What did we do to piss him off already?? Granted, the Pats out played us, out coached us, out scored us. Give them credit for that. They are an awesome force. But, when they had us beat, and beat bad, what did they do? They kept pouring it on. Enough! We're done. We're toast. Raise the freakin' white flag! I have never been a proponent of dirty play, but after it became apparent that Belichick was going to run up the score on the 'Skins, I would have sent the house on Brady on every single play. Yep, damn the torpedos. Even if it had caused a personal foul each and every blitz, if I were Gibbs and/or Greg Williams, I'd have pummeled Brady for Belichick's transgression. Buried his ass in the turf. Brady seemed so smug on the sidelines anyway. I only watched the end of the game to see what Gibbs' reaction would be when he met Belichick to shake hands. I was hoping for something similar to a Chuck Noll / Jerry Glanville interaction. Back in the day, Noll at least had the balls to get in Glanville's grille and let him know how he didn't appreciate how "Glandville" ran up the score on the Steelers that day. I have yet to see, or hear, any response from Gibbs after this embarrassing loss, but after the clock ran out, the camera was following Gibbs and it appeared that he simply avoided Belichick and ran off the field. Someone please tell me that I missed something and that Gibbs addressed this issue and stepped up for the team. Because if he didn't, I've lost a great amount of respect for him, and I love the guy. I had great respect for the Pats, and even Belichick, until today. I now hope they go down in a very very painful way.

Coach Gibbs publically announced in the week leading up to the game that the Redskins had virtually no hope of winning this game, and stated that they were the "biggest underdogs in history". He literally displayed a large dose of "no faith in his team", and you are worried whether or not he shook Belicheats hand and got in his face for running up the score?

I am more concerned that Gibbs had written this game off as a loss, several days before the coin toss. What kind of message does he send the team with that attitude?

But you are right, Belichick has to be careful, as long as he appears to keep embarrasing teams and purposely running up the score, he might place his stars in harms way. Someday someone is going to take that late hit on Brady around the knees. Someone is going to lead a helment into Moss's head, someone is going to purposely crack-block Vrabel. Again, they need to be careful, they have already been labeled "cheaters" and now "class-less", I know NFL players are professionals, but sooner or later a player is going to take offense to the way Belichick is doing business and come to the conclusion that the penalty and subsequent fine will be worth the late hit.
