The Patriots are just plain classless and I wish them nothing but bad will.

you're crazy if you think they were running up the score

they yanked brady after the first series of the 2nd half, with over 25 minutes left in the game

that's gotta be a record for yanking a qb during a regular season win, where the qb wasn't injured

 

59-0 isn't running up the score?

 

not when it's 45-0 at the half haha , and not when 7 of those points came from your #2 qb (on a run no less)

and definitely not when you decided not to kick fgs late when you could have made it even more of a blowout (like 68-0)

 

i mean if you guys are saying the pats ran it up, by trying NOT to score in the 2nd half as much as they could have, then you're also calling your own dolphins a team who tried to run up the score vs the bills

 

you're basically calling the dolphins classless for destroying the bills

that's what you're doing, and that kinda self-hate is pretty sickening

 

when you hurry down the field and are up 38-0 thats calleeeeeeeddddd........

 

38-10 vs 59-0 hmmmm

 

that's called raping a team in the first half

it's a fact you can't run up the score in the first half lol


the dolphins scored more on the bills in the 2nd half than NE did vs tenn today


in your guys opinion...you're calling your own team classless

that's what you're doing......

 

miami = 21 in the 2nd half, NE = 14

miami was just called classless by their own fans...that's sad and pathetic

 

miami was up 17 - 3 against the bills by second half
new england was up 45-0 against the bills. Not sure what your point is. Not sure again, how they are remotely related.

 

im doing nothing of the sort, see my above post. and raping a team in the first half, sure, but its still running up the score when taking a knee into the half would have been more classy. Spin it how you want.

 

You've got some f'ed up logic dude.

 

You're not sure because they are completely unrelated. Bellicheat has proven how classless he is in the past. It's nothing new. They were running up the score. I love hearing people try to justify it like this is college football or something. Jeff Fisher and his team doesn't deserve this. You beat them, pull the starters, just like the Giants did last week after the half.

 

or like peyton when he downed the ball against the ravens. But thats why jauron and manning are what we call classy.

 

In fairness, with Brady having his injury comeback I totally understand why they decided to keep him in. Whether it was cocky or not really is a moot point. They've got a QB who hasn't been playing up to his normal calibur in a while, and is running hot in a game. If I'm the coach, I keep him in and let him get back into his groove.

Yes, it sucks for the Titans, and I hate Bellichek and the Pats as much as anyone, but I really don't think thats what it was.

 

That game is not even comparable. It's laughable you're suggesting it is.

 

The Pats have run up the score before, especially during 2007. Not sure this game qualifies though. They pulled Brady with six TD passes, one short of the NFL record.

 

Cheatriots' doings will catch up with them.

 

How does this game not qualify? They're up 38-0 with 40 seconds left in the half and thew throw it down the field. Then they come out at the half in a 5 WR set and once again throw it down the field. This AT home against a 0-5 team. That's classless in every sense of the word.

 

Its classless and should be little debate about it. Can someone tell me why are you throwing the ball up 40pts again? You come out in 5WR sets...piling up stats for no other reason than to PILE UP STATS. What you do is pull your starters and get your backups work. Not wait till Brady can get his 6th TD pass and then pull him. What if Brady would have got hurt while trying to throw that 6th TD? Did they worry about Tenn mounting a comeback???

This looks eerily familar does it not? Have never seen a team other than NE who throws the ball and throws it downfield when up 40. Did they go for it on any 4th downs?? I would not doubt it. It will bite them down the road...just like it did going for 19-0. Classless then...classless now

 

I've hated on the Pats for running the score up against crappy teams in the past, but this week they honestly didn't. Those points were in the first half. If they kept doing that in the 2nd half I would hate on them. But doesnt anyone remember the Monday Night Miracle back in 2000? You have to score as many points in the first half that you possibly can to avoid that.

 

I see nothing wrong with this. I also believe, in the first half, no matter what, you can have the petal to the metal. With the reports of Tom Brady's demise being greatly exaggerated (look in this very forum a few posts down) they wanted to see 2007 Brady back. I'm throwing him back in after a halftime because we've seen two different teams sometimes just after a half. he comes out, gets a TD. Cool. All is well. Pull him.

Again, I get plenty pissed about the Patsies, but I don't see anything wrong here. In 2007 they were throwing TDs and going for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter with only a couple minutes left. That was when maybe you should have wished ill will. Not today. But hey, I'm not going to stop a fellow dophin fan from hating the Patriots.

 

Nah, your wrong Jdang on this one.
If indeed you want to solidify the gamean do you not start running the ball to run down the clock?
Billicheat instead is going no-huddle 5 reciever sets after up 49-0.
They are indeed bad losers as we know, and even worse winners

Karma will catch up with themz, and now its just one more fanbase that hates them.

 

I've given thought to your position, but at the end, I've concluded, I'm still right.

In 2007 they ran the score up to the very last minute. At the end of the day you worry about you, and if I was Belly, I'd want to see brady come out after the half, run one series, get him right (he's been inconsistent since coming back). So oh well, to each their own

 

So according to your logic...running up the score counts ONLY if you score in 2nd half?

Oh, okay.

So the fact that they were throwing it, while leading by 21,28, 35 is on...IS NOT running up the score...because it was first half? Your logic is flawless. You must fit in well with jests fans.

 

San Diego was down 28-0 and came back very quickly, on primetime and could have won the whole damn game. Forget all that nonsense, taking it easy is a bad habit. Almost 40% of the game was garbage time. Not sure what more yo want out of a team making 100 million dollars or so. Suck it up and play.

 

Even though I HATE the Pats and agree they are classless....if you don't like it- STOP THEM

Article goes on to ask, what do you want the Patriots to do, take knees for the rest of the game? Lol run the ball? They still may have ran up the score that way. Grown men getting paid vs. grown men getting paid. The Titans can find solace in their million dollar homes

 

Yes, just like the Dolphins did for the entire 4th Quarter while they had a big lead against New England last season.

Miami had every excuse to put 50 on the board that day, yet went the classy route.

 

Thankfully that's the difference between us and them.
Even here in the Dallas Metroplex, everybody agrees it was a senseless, classless thing to do.
And one more fanbase will be cheering Tammy Brady going out on a stretcher

 

the giants yanked manning in the second quarter last week against oakland.

 

mmm...Classless would've been leaving Brady in for the entire game in order to set a NFL record..which they didn't do...probably could've had 8 or 9 TDs...

First half...I'm of the mindset that any team can come back...you just never know...I think anything less than a 40 point lead can be breached.

Evidence:

35-point college comeback:

So...while I'll never be a NE fan, I'm not going to harass them for running up the score.
It's good for my fantasy football team. ^_^
(and yes, I have more Dolphins on my teams than players form other teams in general)

 

yeah because he was injured going into that game.....

 

Blah blah class. They're trying to win the damn ball game. and a superbowl. They work all week for a game plan, even though it is wildly successful, you've got a plan and you work it through. They worked it through enough for Brady and yanked him. Then they put in the backup to get him some work, get him used to some situations. Well Titans couldn't stop the backup QB either.

Classy would have been if the Titans were playing shorthanded due to tragedy or something. I see 11 pros beat up on another 11 professionals. It's part of the game. I mean, what the Dolphins did against NE a couple years ago when Zach et al scored a tape and deciphered their signals was considered bush league. Some might say, classless.

 

Great point.
That is the exact reason why they come out in 2nd half, up by 50, with their starting QB in the game throwing the ball.
They should of went for 2 point conversions and onside kicks too, since they are trying to win the superbowl, and have been game planning hard vs this great Titans team.

 

Comebacks in college football are not comparable to the pro game. Professional teams are MUCH better at holding leads than college kids. I'll go out on a limb and say I doubt Bellicheat had this in mind when he was running up the score.

 

You and Bellicheat have the same football philosophy I see.

Bottome line, no team has ever overcome a 45-0 defecit.

And no, what the Dolphins did was not classless. It was completely within the rules and had any of the other 31 teams thought of it, they'd have done it as well.
