The 4th and 2 didn't bother me at all.

It just gave the Pats a fresh set of downs and the chance to run more time off the clock.

By that stage of the game the sooner it was over the better.

The 4th downs didn't bother me either. It was the bomb to Moss before that got under my skin.

that was my thinking at that time in the game too.boy i,m glad this is about over with....

i was wondering myself why gregg williams wasn,t blitzing in the first place i mean pick your posion..for me i rather see some aggressiveness and it never happened but what did happen is a 52-7 beatdown.

take it like a man.....they were simply better than us anyways..

How ironic, people calling Bill Bellichick classless on this forum, and a majority seem to be for the Pats star player getting injured. Stay classy, San Diego.

I'm with davy on this. This is pro football, not pee wee.

So because they are one of the best O to have ever played the game so someone should take a cheap shot at Brady? Did you even read that before posting?

Then maybe the Pats should start palying like it is. I am not against them trying to score, but to say it is not cheap is a stretch. So is a late hit on the star player of the team.

My logic is, if Brady is in the game acting like it is a normal game (when they are up by a bunch) and trying to score, fine. Brady or any other QB coud get a late hit in any game whether behind or leading by 4 touchdowns. If he gets hit, no one should complain. I am not sure that he will but we will have to wait and see.

I'm confused with what you're trying to say here. I also have no problem with them scoring, If we're not going to stop them, make us into an example. These guys get paid millions, have escalator clauses, and in the words of Pat Kirwan, "Points scored is on the playoff tie breaker list somewhere, rack em' up." If Brady happens to take a hit and gets injured, that's part of the game. If teams are behind and want to go blitz happy, I'm all for it. What I'm not for is taking a cheap shot on any player in the NFL.

Obviously, I can respect that position. I guess I didn't want to see a Redskin seriously injure the guy so much as I wanted to see someone just hit him very, very, very hard. I also would not have cared if Brady just happened to suffer an injury.

I am with you, but define cheap. I mean a player could hit a QB late and it happens alot. But now if it happens to Brady after throwing in a game where they are leading by a good margin, is that cheap? Who are we to determine what was the intent of the defensive player? Now, going low maybe a cheap shot, a late hit is simply a late hit and 15 yards.

There's definitely some irony there. But isn't there irony in people on the one hand saying "this is a grown man's hard-hitting sport where class does not apply and you shouldn't care about your opponents well-being" and on the other hand saying "it's not nice or classy to try to put some hurt on an opponent, regardless of whether it is in violation of the rules?"

I would like to say that I turn the other cheek, but I usually do not. I usually am going to try to take both of your eyes if you take one of mine. If someone tries to make themselves look good at my expense and knows they are going to humiliate me, I am going to do my best to make sure they never want to do that again. Hubris is a b---h.

Well said Sheriff! I stand by my belief that it was classless of the Pats to run up the score, but I also believe it is equally classless to intentionally hurt the guy. However, like SS said, if one of his offensive linemen happen to roll up his leg or something, then well....better luck next time is all I say...lol!

[firstdown]

Its funny the same people who think running up the score was a cheap shot and were ticked are the same people who want to see somebody take a cheap shot on Brady. If it happens I hope the league kicks the person out for a year.

I'm curious as to how those who thought it was fine would react if we had done the same thing and someone had taken a cheap shot on Campbell and knocked him out for the year.

I know the responses already actually "Would never happen, because Old Man Gibbs is scared to score"

I can cite several instances where Gibbs called off the dogs with the shoe on the other foot. During the last Super Bowl season in '91, he had a very similar blowout win against a very good Atlanta team. Mark Rypien had already thrown 6 TD passes, yet Gibbs resisted the temptation to put him back in with most of the 4th quarter remaining, despite Rypien being 1 TD pass away from tying the NFL single game record. Bottom line, Gibbs didn't have to worry about a cheap shot on his QB, because he stopped throwing the ball downfield when the game got out of hand. Same with the '91 season opening 45-0 win over Detroit, the Super Bowl win over Denver in '88, and even the Cowboys game in 2005. Bottom line, Gibbs knows how to win a blowout with some degree of grace, a concept that Belicheat has yet to grasp.
