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.

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.
