I still have no idea why someone would risk injury to his starters and needlessly show more of his playbook when a "W" is well in hand.

I know that some people want to make a statement, but what kind of statement is made when a key player blows out his knee while running up the score? That the coach takes unnecessary risks with multimillion dollar assets?

Also, I was just a teenager when Gibbs left, but when did Gibbs run up the score?

1992 against the Cardinals. Buges was the coach. He sent in Cary Conklin to throw a meaningless TD to Monk. He also did it to Glandville in 91. But who cares? I don't care if someone does it cause to me it's pro football. It's not classless what Bill B. did nor was it when Gibbs sent in Conklin to throw a pass when the score was out of hand. You're getting your guys some work during a game. Run your offense and defense til the game is over. End of discussion. I get so tired of this running up the score crap. Brooking looked like a punk ass little kid and so did Randall Godfrey.
