I have never heard of a shutout where people said...they should have put the 3rd strind D in so the other team could score...yet the principle is exactly the same....

Just thinking out loud

I have no problem with the Pats trying to preserve their shutout. Every defense would try to do the same. Passing deep downfield with a 30-some point lead in the 4th quarter - that, I take exception to.
