Now, here are your options, kick a field goal which is a pretty good chance of putting points on the board, or have your backup QB throw to your 3rd string TE (or wait, wasn't it the 3rd string RB?) at which point even if you get it you didn't score and the other team still has a chance to stop them before the endzone.

I wonder why no one said this of the Colts in 2004?
Nov. 14 Houston - W (49-14)
Nov. 21 at Chicago - W (41-10)
Nov. 25 at Detroit - W (41-9)
Dec. 5 Tennessee - W (51-24)

Rams in 2001
Miami Dolphins | W | 42-10
Detroit Lions | W | 35- 0
Carolina Panthers | W | 48-14
Atlanta Falcons | W | 35- 6
Indianapolis Colts | W | 42-17

plain and simple, it's the NFL, you may change the play calling a little bit, or pull your starters, but you don't take your foot off the pedal!
I'm sure if those teams were running up the score, something would have been said. There's a difference between blowing teams out and running up the score. I don't remember most of those games specifically but I'm pretty sure most of those points were scored in the first 3 quarters and then they started running out the clock.
