Classless Coach Belichick

[12thMan]

I'll be pissed if you guys let me get to post #5,000 while defending Bill Belichick!

[firstdown]

Man the more I read this thread the more I wish it was us smacking teams around the field like they have been doing. Indy is next and will loose by more than 14 points!

Indy has a good D, plus, their offense can take time off the clock and actually score points. I won't be surprised at all if Indy wins, actually I expect them to.

Thats all good but the Pats are playing with the attitude to go along with great play and is going to stuff the Colts.

The Colts aren't bad themselves. Why expect them to lose when they are as good if not better? It was in the 4th quarter that the game out of reach for Dallas. I expect Indy to score more than Dallas (if needed) and stay close and win.

No after you took the lead and the Pats got the ball back you guys were done. Maybe not by the score board but the Pats were determined to do you in from that point on. They came back and scored and never looked back.

This is professional football. Bilicheck did not show professionalism. He risked his players, risked his opponents players and flat out violated what has been a "Gentlemen's Agreement" since pro football began.

Although I agree with you about risking his players ,he has nothing to do with risking the Skins and the "Gentleman's Agreement" you talk of has never existed.

I certainly beg to differ. There has always and yes I do mean always been an agreement not to run up the score in the NFL. It is called sportmanship, something that a fan of a team as rich in history as the Giants surely understands.

these guys are grown men. can you remember any other teams trying to humiliate another team like the patriots do? in 1991, the skins could have really laid it to some teams. but our coach always takes the high road. i would rather win with coach Gibbs, the right way.

And how about Super Bowl XXII as well?

I am not advocating anything in particular here, but I really do hope for something real bad to happen to the pats. Classless pieces of sub-human feces. I have never felt that way towards any other team, including dallas.

get over it. Maybe gibbs will learn a lesson. Never let you foot of the opponents throat. Its the defense's job to stop the pats. But they couldnt do it so too bad. Its time for the skins to stop crying and wins some damn games. Did we stop trying to score we were down 38-0?? No then why should they. Maybe that why the pats are winners and we are at best .500 team.

Or maybe it's the reason why everyone thinks the Pats lack class. It's akin to beating a guy in a boxing match and then just stomping on his head as he sits there motionless. Sorry, but that's a punk move.

Also, FYI 4-3 is above .500.

Finally, I'm tired of hearing people say that we are crying like babies for calling the Pats out for showing no class. I'm not crying, I'm pissed. Perhaps you cry when you are angry, but I don't.

SBF, here's where I split with the masses on this issue. In your example, and trust me I'm not trying to nit pick here, but you said if a guy is down and get's stomped (paraphrase after two glasses of wine), then that's a classless act. I agree there. I think classless, by my own definition, is when the other guy can't do anything about it or there is clear disadvantage. Sure, BB in his heart probably has ill intentions not entirely directed at the Redskins or coach Gibbs, mind you, but there was no clear disadvangtage on our part. So I don't really see where he was being so classless. Is he bitter? Perhaps. Classless, I don't know.
