Exactly. That game was 28 -7 at halftime. We could have run it up a lot more in the second half. In addition, when somebody in the PA booth started playing that Willie Nelson song, Gibbs was irate and signalled them to shut it off. Likewise, in Super Bowl 22 we could have probably scored 60 points if we wanted to. It's foolish and unnecessary.
The sickening part is that it is unlikely that anybody will have a chance to return the favor so long as Brady is their QB and I think it's extremely unlikely that Belichek will be around for the fallout once he retires. What I can't understand is the motivation behind it all. Belichek and the Patriots got caught violating NFL rules. Somehow in this man's crippled psychology he has turned that into a justification for trying to humiliate other teams - teams that had nothing whatsoever to do with the exposure of his shenanigans. I could understand paying Mangini back, but I think to do it to a respected coach from the other conference is a bit much.
