They are sending a message loud and clear, we're the best team in football cameras or no cameras.

But to your point, if they were playing dirty then I would have some issues with them, but they are just guilty of playing hard-nosed spirited football week in and week out.

But like I said before: there would have been no justification if brady had gotten injured because he was still in late in the 4th quarter even though it was a blow out. That, to me, makes it classless to keep him in there throwing on 4th down. If they put all their backups in and they continued to run on us at will I'd keep my mouth shut, but that wasn't the case until their last 2 possesions.
