I wish more teams in sports would do it to be perfectly honest.

Fuck sportsmanship in professional sports.

Pretty much my feeling, you're paid to play a sport, this isn't highschool or little league, you're a well paid profesional athlete, if you don't like it, stop it... you can't, that's your fault.

Especially in most cases we're talking about 2nd and 3rd string players going against starters. If you can't stop a guy who couldn't make your team you should apologize to your fans, no cry about "running up the score"

That being said, I don't think the Pats were intentionally trying to run up the score in any of the games.

You're kidding right? You do realise the Pats couldn't run out the clock because the Cowboys used their final timeouts in an attempt to get the ball back? I mean, while I disagree with it I can see the argument made in the Redskins game, but they "ran up the score" on the cowboys? now you're being silly. Also, keep in mind as Stima pointed out the RB who scored was a 3rd string practice squad guy and it was thought at the time might be the only TD he ever gets (like Vinny getting to throw a TD last year, or Flutie drop-kicking the year before)


As for the Phins, 21 points, almost the whole 4th qtr left, Brady back in, puts it out of reach and then takes a seat for the rest of the game.

The Skins, we're talkijg about Matt Cassell, this guy wouldn't be the 2nd QB on most teams and some not even the 3rd. The Redskins Defense which is considered good this year couldn't stop Matt Cassell on 4th down. Could they have punted the ball into the end zone? sure... but why just give the ball away? Why not take advantage of a rare chance to have your backup QB get some ingame live experience.

RP - are you biased? sure, a little, same way I am and most people who favor their hometown team, we have more info about your home team then anyone else due to local coverage and you dislike your rivals. But while I disagree with you most of the time you back it up and have never tried to argue Indy's offense based on their madden raitings

Hey, if Indy's spanks the Pats 70-0 this weekend good for them, I just don't see it happening, I admit I'm doing what I never do which is count the Colts out, I just don't see how anyone stops this Offense and to get in a shoot-out you have to destroy this defense which is one of the best.

I think it will be a good game, but in the end I see the Pats by at least 10 points.

I also think this roll continues, I don't think they go undefeated, something will happan, but I think Brady shatters the QB records and takes league MVP. Which will bring back a fun off season debatone of Brady vs. Manning.
