Classless Coach Belichick

We did, we ran the ball on something like 23 of the last 25 plays from scrimmage. Including the entire 4th Quarter.

I think Ramsey played the 4th as well as Betts and Cartwright (who were clearly backups in 2005)

Yep. Betts came in and ran all over the Niners, so we rested him for Cartwright and he even scored a TD on them. Ramsey ran 3 times (for -3 yards) and passed only once as we tried to run the clock out by running. Unfortunately, they still let us move the ball and score...not great for running the clock out. :D

Here we go again...... The bottom line is NE has a different mentality than us. They put in the back-ups to score. Has Matt Cassell ever throw a pass in the NFL? I don't think he has. So what good does it do to bring the guy in to hand the damn ball off? Get the guy some well needed game experience and try to score. What if Brady gets hurt? Get the next guy ready and the only way to do that is get him on the field during a game and let him throw some.

When we played SF it would have made sense to have Ramsey throw some passes so he could get some more game experience and knock off some rust. Why go in and hand it off so the opponent can kill your RB? It makes no damn sense. Again, it's the defenses responsibility to get off the field and stop the offense.

If I were coaching the Redskins ( and thank god I'm not) I would have pulled Randall Godrey aside and lit into his ass for crying like a little bitch. He has no balls what so ever and as far as I'm concerned ship his sorry ass back to Dallas.

you remember when we put up 52 on the niners? did we back down at all? i cant remember. to long ago
I was there...

Quite the game... and yes, we put up 52, and did it with class. Lavar tore it up that game...

Your mentality, and the mentality of the Patriots is not the norm in the NFL. Most teams with a big lead will pull starters and milk the clock. And most importantly, they don't go for it on 4th down when they are in FG range.

I know you don't agree, but that's what most teams do, and that's why people including myself were a little irked with how the Patriots went about things on Sunday.

It's simple people: begging for mercy and not wanting to be humiliated are NOT the same.

Belichick humiliated us, and people are upset. What's so hard to understand?

Most of the people arguing for Belichick can only say, "what do you want them to do? Win the game for you? They don't need to show you mercy." Obviously, that's the only argument you can come up with, because there is no justification for humiliation. Why don't you address the real issue (humiliation), instead of making up a new one that you can argue for?

Just quit talking if all you can say is that they don't have to show you mercy. No shit Sherlock. They don't HAVE to show humility either -- but they should. Why don't you tell us why humility isn't important?

Isn't every team "humiliated" by every loss? No matter how large or small the point margin?

Call it what you want, humiliated, humbled, embarassed, -- just don't complain about the opposing team trying to score points. No NFL offense has an obligation to avoid scoring just because the other teams' players might get their feelings hurt.

These are grown men we're talking about here. The people who think it's wrong to "run up the score" are sounding like 8-year olds.

I'm feeling you on Godfrey. I mean, what has the NFL turned into, the gentlemen's club? Who goes to the opposing coach and complains after a game. I don't want this guy on my team. No fight, no nasty. We need three more Sean Taylors and one more Laron Landry on this team. Too many soft asses...hell, let Portis play defense.

So you would have been less "irked" if they had tried for a field goal and the final score is 49-7 instead of 52-7?

What's the cut-off point for being "irked" at the score, and being okay with it?

As we can see, the Patriots aren't anywhere close to the 'norm' in this league. Maybe more teams should adopt this mentality, rather than cry about it.

Well I have heard 3 former Redskins in the last 24 hours say too bad and deal with it. Actually 4. Mark Scherleth (sp?) was on ESPN and he killed the Redskins. Bob Golic too. So when you have players who played the game at the highest level saying they had no problem with what NE did then you have to wonder.

Plus if they kicked the FG people would still be crying, and NE did pull the starters.
