Classless Coach Belichick

[SouperMeister]

Recall our '91 championship team - Gibbs took a knee at the Lions' 2 yard line when we were pounding Detroit 45-0 in the opener. I just hope that Gibbs and/or Jason Campbell have the opportunity to run it up on Belicheat someday, and they remember how NE showed no class in this game.

We all know Gibbs is classier. He's too classy sometimes. They are both HOF coaches despite BB's cheating moves. The tuck rule (non-call) changed history forever. But he was going for the jugular like he has all year. They have not won by less than 17 points all year. They are on pace to break the scoring average (all time) for one year. They also were sending a message to the Colts. I think Bill should have run the ball more, taken Brady out sooner, and definitely kicked the FG, but our defense couldn't stop them. Gibbs needs to be more aggressive with his playcalling and a little less nice sometimes. BB was not classy, but he had the right to spank us today. We need to take the lesson from this game, we CAN do that to the JETS next week. Let's see how our team responds.

Just simply put Gibbs and the boys back in the 80's and early 90's exemplified class and dignity (and still do), and that is why he's so revered in so many circles from football to racing today. On the other hand you have Mr. Belichick who's the complete opposite and there will always be suspicion about how he won those three Super Bowls and the likely fourth one come February.

I kind of had the opposite reaction most skins fans do about things....right after the game I had no problems with what Bellicheck did, and the points they scored. If we dont want them in the endzone, we keep them out of the endzone.

Now that I'm a few hours removed from it, I still belive for the most part that too be true, but I'm kinda of starting to agree with the people who think they ran it up...and it is kind of bush league.

I dont want to complain about them running it up on us, because I really dont care, we played bad enough for it to be 52-7, thats how it should come, but there really does seem to be the idea that they wanted to make an example out of us, which is kind of stupid. I mean they had us completley and utterly humilated to begin with, was it really nessacary? Probaboly not. Again, if we are that bent about it, we should have kept them out of the endzone, its more the going for it on 4th and 2 that bothers me just a bit. Everything else is fine, because like Dasels Bellicheck quote says, the offense is out there to score... but the 4th down call is just kind of like "enough already"....but I really do hope Indianapolis kicks their asses next week.
