i guess we have different definitions of "class" though.

I am not sure if it was you I answered on this, but I agree. I would have started blitzing late 2nd, or start of the 2nd half. We couldn't stop them sitting back, so why not blitz. My point was we didn't blitz all day, and this was just added fuel to hit brady and show Belichek we were not going to stand for them running the score up. I have always been tought to win with class, and that wasn't it yesterday. However, there are unwritten rules that are not or should not broken. I was pitcher through college and there are a ton of unwritten rules there, as I am sure there are in football. Had someone shown us up or me up, there was retrobution. Now, is that classless?? No, i think its payback, which is acceptable to me. If they wanted to leave Brady in the game and run the score up, show no respect for Gibbs, then make them pay for it. if we had gone after brady, or drilled Moss a couple of time or who ever, I dont think we would be looked at as classless, we would be looked at like a team that stood up for ourselves and won't take that kind of crap. Now we sort of look like a bunch whiners about getting our asses whipped. Personally, I would have gone the "hit him every play, F*** the 15 yard penalties" route.
