Classless Coach Belichick

Being humiliated is nobody's fault but the person who feels that way. No professional football player has a responsibility to refrain from doing his job to ensure his opponent isn't humiliated.

I don't think anyone has said they have such a responsibility. I have a responsibility to not kill, maim, kidnap, rape, or assault anybody. I do NOT have a responsibility to act like an a**hole. Although I do not not have a responsibility to refrain from acting like an a**hole, I still don't. Some people just don't have that filter (i.e., class).

Tell me what purpose Bill Belichick served by needlessly running up the score? By the middle of the 3rd quarter it was clear that he was going to win the game. Stats don't mean s--t to guys like Brady and Belichick, right? So, basically they risked injury to their players for no other purpose than to run up the score and embarass the Redskins. To me, that SHOUTS stupidity and a lack of class.

Solely because I am a mod, I am going to resist speaking my true feelings about people who say things like this. But I will say that you can act with class and you can act without class and some people can't see the difference between the two.

The funny thing is I'm sure there are plenty of 8-year olds out there that understand what sportsmanship is all better than some of the folks around here.

While I understand the sensitive nature of this subject after such a humiliating and humbling blow out, but we should never expect other teams and people to behave as we do. The Patriots are NOT show boats, big mouths, arrogant ass holes, or bully's that constantly start fights on the field. In fact they are the opposite. While they did run up the score....who cares. Tell me where in the world is there a etiquette rule about not running up the score? This is football not etiquette school.
In fact I am tired of hearing about the Pats disrespecting us. They did not. They kicked our asses fair and square and we do not have the talent to do anything about it.
We need a real GM.

Running up the score...lmao I dont think they would have run the score up if the skins could have stopped them, lets see if campbell held on to the ball, if we could cover the pats running backs...so on and so forth. quit crying about the score being run up. This site is all good when the skins do good and when they lose you people criticize the opponent. I just dont get it. I read some of these post and just laugh at them. pointr blank the redskins have alot of work to do to get to where they want/need to be and thats the bottom line. So whats it going to be this weekend when they play the jets? lmao

I love your grammar, punctuation, and frequent use of "lmao." What are you twelve? People who keep saying "quit crying," or "you're acting like babies," simply show that (a) they cannot put together an argument so they resort to stupid cliches and (b) that they have no idea what class means.

I'd really like someone to try to argue with the following:

If they had some other purpose in running up the score, please do tell. If they did not have some other purpose in running up the score, does that show not only stupidity for risking injury to players and a lack of class?

LOL send what message?

That you want to cut valuable depth over a comment to the media?

Really smart.

Khary Cambell has been here for several years and he knows the defense. Godfrey was sitting at home doing nothing before the Skins called. He isn't that valuable.

I don't want a guy who cries to the other coach cause you just got the living shit beat out of you. He cried to BB and then he cried to the media. He looks like a soft little bitch. Total 100% pussy. Yes I would cut him.

It's not Belichick's job to show humility. Suppose he does nothing but call running plays and puts the scrubs in? If the third-string halfback breaks a run, should carry the torch of humility and kneel down before crossing into the endzone?

Sure, it's nobody's JOB to show humility. Nobody get's paid to do that, and it's not a law. So, nobody has to show humility ever. I get that. I just think humans SHOULD be more considerate. You obviously don't. Do you ever hold the door open for somebody? Do you ever let another car into your lane? Probably not, since you obviously don't value human compassion.

Don't forget, Belichick did exactly what you asked by pulling Brady and putting in Cassel. Admittedly, it apparently didn't happen at the point in the game which would have met your approval -- what's that point by the way? Is it 5 minutes to go? 10 minutes? And by what margin of score? What's that magical point when one passes from the "humility zone" and into mean-spiritedness? On that touchdown run, should Cassel have carried out Belichick's "humility" and run out of bounds?

Oh, I see. Since you can't argue why it is okay to humiliate people, you will just come at me with a bunch of crap. Obviously there is no way to quantify embarrassment, so you just ask a question that can't be answered. Good argument. It's one of those gray areas. It's subjective. Don't ask me to objectify it, because it can't be done. It's just one of those things you have to use your judgment on. I can't say where the line is, but that doesn't mean that I don't know when it's been crossed.

So he put in Cassell with 5 minutes left. Do you think that is evidence of BB's humility?

Being humiliated is nobody's fault but the person who feels that way. No professional football player has a responsibility to refrain from doing his job to ensure his opponent isn't humiliated.

So, if you say something that offends another person it's their fault for getting offended? You played no role in hurting their feelings? I would guess that you don't care about anyone.

This is a Sport. They can do what ever they want with in the rules of the game. Are you saying they can not?

That wasn't the point. No one is saying what they cannot do or have a responsibility to do, it is what they should and should not do. BTW, I still didn't hear anyone take issue with my argument (the one you quoted).

Your right. I saw Tom J. and Steve Y on ESPN saying "it was wrong" and "you don't need to do that." So there are two sides.

I just think we need to adopt a different mentality around here. I mean our coaching staff makes more $ than anyone yet I feel we are one of the more poorly coached team in the NFL.

Would you ever see us do a fake spike and then try to score? No. Would you ever see us try a trick play on special teams? Fake FG, or punt? No. Would you eve see us come out in a hurry up offense? No. Would you ever see us try and get the backs more involved in the passing game besides throwing screens? No. Do we ever put the Qb in shotgun on 1st down, just to give the defense something else to think about? No.

I could go on and on. My point is that should have been the attitude we should have had going up to NE. Hit em with everything and empty the playbook. Instead we go out with no game plan and no adjustments at all.

It's time for Gibbs to go. I've seen enough in 3 1/2 years.We finally agree on something!!!! :)
