Brady's going to take a cheap one someday

How ironic, people calling Bill Bellichick classless on this forum, and a majority seem to be for the Pats star player getting injured. Stay classy, San Diego.

I'm with davy on this. This is pro football, not pee wee.

Its funny the same people who think running up the score was a cheap shot and were ticked are the same people who want to see somebody take a cheap shot on Brady. If it happens I hope the league kicks the person out for a year.

The 4th and 2 didn't bother me at all.

It just gave the Pats a fresh set of downs and the chance to run more time off the clock.

By that stage of the game the sooner it was over the better.

The 4th downs didn't bother me either. It was the bomb to Moss before that got under my skin.

I'm curious as to how those who thought it was fine would react if we had done the same thing and someone had taken a cheap shot on Campbell and knocked him out for the year.

I know the responses already actually "Would never happen, because Old Man Gibbs is scared to score"

Neither is right, running up the score nor intentionally injuring a player. But there is such a thing as reap what you sow.

There's a big difference. Running up the score is not against the rules. Intentionally injuring a player is.

that was my thinking at that time in the game too.boy i,m glad this is about over with....

i was wondering myself why gregg williams wasn,t blitzing in the first place i mean pick your posion..for me i rather see some aggressiveness and it never happened but what did happen is a 52-7 beatdown.

take it like a man.....they were simply better than us anyways..

I'm talking about "right" in terms of sportsmanship, not the rule book. Still, you do raise a valid point. My post was not meant to advocate anyone taking a shot on #12.

Yeah, but there are many acts that are against the rules, that is why teams get flagged. A late hit is a foul that will cost the Colts 15 yards. Supposedly it is a good while after the ball was delivered, now that would be interesting. It might not only be a penalty but a fine as well.

Sean Taylor and CP got fined for wearing a different socks than allowed (I think). Hitting Brady would make a lot more sense to me. That is why I was surprised not to see a late hit in the Skins-Pats game. Some might say the Redskins won't do it because it shows no class, well, what the Pats did showed no class either.

Bob Sanders made it easier for the NFL to fine him, and maybe a suspension if he hits Brady late.

Well if people lived there lives by saying he showed no class then I won't show no class then we would live in one screwed up world.

Im sorry but the guy has it coming to him, the pats are just out to break records. 2 wrongs make a right after all.

I can cite several instances where Gibbs called off the dogs with the shoe on the other foot. During the last Super Bowl season in '91, he had a very similar blowout win against a very good Atlanta team. Mark Rypien had already thrown 6 TD passes, yet Gibbs resisted the temptation to put him back in with most of the 4th quarter remaining, despite Rypien being 1 TD pass away from tying the NFL single game record. Bottom line, Gibbs didn't have to worry about a cheap shot on his QB, because he stopped throwing the ball downfield when the game got out of hand. Same with the '91 season opening 45-0 win over Detroit, the Super Bowl win over Denver in '88, and even the Cowboys game in 2005. Bottom line, Gibbs knows how to win a blowout with some degree of grace, a concept that Belicheat has yet to grasp.

So because they are one of the best O to have ever played the game so someone should take a cheap shot at Brady? Did you even read that before posting?

Then maybe the Pats should start palying like it is. I am not against them trying to score, but to say it is not cheap is a stretch. So is a late hit on the star player of the team.

My logic is, if Brady is in the game acting like it is a normal game (when they are up by a bunch) and trying to score, fine. Brady or any other QB coud get a late hit in any game whether behind or leading by 4 touchdowns. If he gets hit, no one should complain. I am not sure that he will but we will have to wait and see.
