Classless Coach Belichick

Wow, what sort of insane, reverse logic is that?

The majority of the time in the NFL any team in that situation would kick the FG vs. going for it. It's 38-0, the game is comfortably in hand, you kick the FG.

The Patriots are on a mission to embarrass everyone they play, I guess because Belichick is himself embarrassed over the whole cheating scandal so this is his way of sticking it to the rest of the league. Hey, more power to them, but to me and many others it's a pretty shitty way to go about things. If the Redskins were doing that, I wouldn't be pleased at all.

I think the Pats gave the Skins a chance to keep points off the board and the Skins couldnt do it.

I am 100% certain that if the Skins were 8-0 and crushing opponents like NE is, nobody would have a problem with how they were winning. I know I wouldnt.

LOL interesting way to look at it.

They were running it up, plain and simple. Same way they brought Brady back in to throw a late TD against the Dolphins.

I'll tell u what, i'll be routing for peyton manning and the colts next sunday. I think peyton is a better QB anyway. He never had the benefit of a great defense when he was putting together the record season. Also he wasn't focused on breaking the record and running up the score. It seems to me that Brady and Belichek are trying to get Brady's numbers up in pursuit of that record. Manning actually slowed things down in the second half of the games during that season b/c he was all about winning. I know this because he was on my Fantasy team that year and i was getting pissed when they would run 3 times from the goal line and kick a FG.
