Brady's going to take a cheap one someday

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.
