First of all, Godfrey was the only one who said anything, and the dude's a veteran. I believe he used to wear your colors, hmmm...

Second, the other players and the coaches all said "the right thing" and said they didn't do enough to stop the Pats. So let's not start projecting a bunch of message board angst onto the team. But don't get it twisted, either -- everyone on that team knows what New England did to them, and everyone on the Patriots knows full well what they are doing to other teams. I'll say it again, karma is a bitch.

Third, there are PLENTY of people who are not Redskins fans who have called this what it is, and it's running up the score. We can all argue over whether sports commentators know what the hell they're talking about or not, but there's really no question that most commentators outside of Boston are taking notice of what this team is doing. I've even read some stories from the Boston media that refer to it as Belichick "raising a middle finger to the NFL".

And let's not forget that during the Ol' Ball Coach's brief run, we were accused of running up the score in that exhibition game.

I thought it was an arrogant and tacky move then when we did it, and I think it's arrogant and tacky now. When the day comes that a key player gets injured late in a game where they're pulling this BS, you better believe the second-guessing will start flying.
