You must be the only guy who rooted for Drago over Rocky Keep in mind I'm a HUGE Yankee fan since the 80s
LOL, I'm usually the opposite. The Yankees are my most hated organization in sports, with the Lakers probably second. I'm not exactly sure why this is different. I think it's partially because I despise the Colts, and the Patriots are their main rival... and also because the "sportsmanship" argument is always one of my pet peeves.
I think the only reason the Pats are gonna win like 72-10 is cuz of the absolute lack of imagination by the Bills coaches. How about a 9 man blitz? I mean obviously playing defense isn't really helping. Why not get a couple of good licks on Brady or run some back over.... wow going for it again on 4th down... EDIT: I mean seriously, you aint stopping them when you got 6 guys in coverage, so why bother, try to knock down Brady a couple of times. What you got to lose? Where the hell is these people's pride????
its like the Bills coaches are just rolling over and BEGGING the pats to step on their necks. EDIT: 49-10...Yeah that FG really helped. At least Norwood had enough pride to hang his head in shame after he missed in 1990
Belicheck is smart going for those 4th down conversions. He's challenging his most-likely-bored offense to continue to excel in pressure situations. This can't do anything but help make them better in the playoffs. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the Patriots trying to play the best they can and score as much as possible. Like others have said, if the opponent doesn't like it, maybe they can do something about it- like KEEP THEM OUT OF THE END ZONE!
This is ridiculous. I don't know what NBC was thinking Flexing this game. It was so obvious what was gonna happen. Next week too. Look at what the Cowboys did in Philly on SNF 2 weeks ago. Imagine what the Pats are gonna do to them in Foxboro. The Texans-Browns game next week should be a much better game for NBC.
I find myself rooting for the Patriots because i've always thought that it was ridiculous for teams to stop trying to score in professional sports. If they're ahead by 100 points, go ahead and make it 107 points. These guys are all getting paid millions of dollars to play football and you're telling me it's the responsibility of the other team to STOP doing their job because they other team CAN'T do their job?
Brady's out...Bills again with no pride whatsoever, they deserve to lose by 80 pts. The Pats are just running the same play over and over again, put them out of their misery and launch one downfiled plz. This is pathetic as hell to watch.
The issue at the end of the half was Belicheck calling a timeout with 0:04 left on the clock. I think that was a deliberate jerky move. Going for it on 4th down was too, no matter how you slice it. It's clear Belicheck is sending a message to the NFL about spygate. That all said, the Patriots represent a greatness we haven't seen in the NFL in a long time. Maybe the greatest team ever. I enjoy watching them because if they end up going 19-0, I want to see as much of it as possible. We could be watching "history" and I want to remember some details.
Exactly... couldn't have said it better. In addition, what about the fans? It's the entertainment industry. I don't think working class fans paying an average of $75 a ticket deserve watching a quarter-and-a-half of actual football followed by glorified kneeldowns... which is what it seems like some folks expect when the Patriots are criticized for being overly aggressive in the first half (or even the first drive of the second half).
Nah, I actually don't have a problem with them "running up the score" or whatever, and I think those players who whine about it are sore losers. I love to see them put ridiculous numbers up and break all sorts of records. I'm just saying, when you're up 28 points at half time, putting in your star wide receiver at cornerback to intercept a hail mary pass is not necessary. It just isn't.
Could be. Or it could be this Patriots team is all go, no quit. Maybe he's training them to have one, and only one, speed: full throttle. If you can take it, great. If you can't, you get beaten. Badly. Ask Warren Moon if you should let up on your opponent when you're up 35-3 in the 3rd quarter. As a teacher, I don't just teach just well enough to get by. I teach every kid to the best of my ability. I don't give up. Ever. Seems to me the Pats are just being professionals. Their job is to go out and score the most points possible against the other team. If they can make another score with 0:04 left, then they should. It's their job.
