Pretty petty of an adult. It was like when people were complaining about the Patriots destroying us during the 08 season. We used to love and admire winners in this country, now you have to apologize if you win by too much.

I agree, when we lost that game I think it was like 52-7 or something I just laughed and moved on, they were a great team and if we can't stop em that's not their fault

I was pissed about that game, mainly because even when the Pats were blowing us out, they were going for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter. That was the year the Pats decided to go all HAM on the NFL and blow out everybody to prove how dominant they were. I was definitely upset about it at first but eventually I felt like I agreed more with the sentiment that it's a game and if you don't want it to happen, you need to stop them. If they don't want to pull starters in the 4th, or settle for a field goal, that's their prerogative.

I think w/that much of a margin it's still not only classless, but flat out bad karma & risky. If Brady got hurt throwing on 4th down it would've looked pretty stupid on Belicheck's part. Getting beat like that makes some players frustrated to the point of fighting, late hits, etc. Guess hoody knew we couldn't get to him!

Exactly why I don't have much of a problem with it now. The Hoody knows the risk he's taking by leaving in his starters late in a blowout win. It actually burned him back in the day when Welker got injured in a meaningless game after the Pats already wrapped up their division. Not sure what year that was though.
