"We're trying to win the ballgame."

Sprewell, looks like your "feed my family" line has an up and coming challenger.

"Astutely discerning that 45 might not be a big enough lead..."

Especially when the over/under is 48

NE has changed the perception of running up the score and I don't have a problem with it. Everyone labeled them as cheaters and now that they have their signature "Eff You" TD everyone is crying foul. You don't have to show class and character all the time. Look where it got Joe Gibbs and his skins. They have lots of character and class, AND LESS TALENTED PLAYERS!

My dream scenario for next week: with a 21-point lead late in the 4th quarter, the Pats leave Brady in. The Colts call a jailbreak blitz, and about four guys land on Brady, an extremely late hit, resulting in a concussion, two separated shoulders, maybe a broken rib or hip. Brady has ligament damage and never plays again, and karma is restored to the universe.

Hey, at least I didn't wish for an LT-on-Theismann outcome (I wouldn't want that for my own worst enemy).

O SHUT UP running the score.
Thats what losers say when they get their *ss handed to them.

The offense has a job
The defense has a job
The issue here is if you can't STOP the offense, you cry about running up the score. Its BIG BOY football folks, don't
be whiners

caphcky: If Brady (the QB, not the TE) gets hurt, do they have any chance at winning the Super Bowl with their backup?

I hope Tom Brady, or any other starter on the Patriots offense gets injured while running up the score so Bill Belichik can stick his foot in his mouth and will kill himself

Their chances diminish of course, but whats the point?

Sixty minutes are in regulation and you play until the end. Period, end of story. WTF were the Pats supposed to do, take a knee with 9:00 left in the game?

The Redskins defense has more holes than a brothel. Not once did the defense rise to the occasion. This was the worst butt kicking since the Kennedy Administration.

Just horrible game prep by a "Hall of Fame" coach and two overrated and overpaid assistant coaches (Saunders and Williams).

Season over.

"I hope Tom Brady, or any other starter on the Patriots offense gets injured while running up the score so Bill Belichik can stick his foot in his mouth and will kill himself"

ROFLMAO, thats moronic but you are entitled to your opinion (even if it is childish)

I LOVE IT! It's making me think about being a NE fan. Their coach was involved it seemed in every facet of the game while Joe Gibbs stood on the sideline looking befuttled for the majority of the game. The skins didn't just lose, they got embarassed with EVERY play it seemed. A little faint or hesitation here or there got them EVERY time. It was awesome to watch and I'm from DC.

I think it's funny that a print journalist in the Boston Globe wrote a column regurgitating what Bill Simmons has been saying on the Intertubes all season.

And the Pats kicked the Redskins asses - so the Skins players can't talk about running up the score or it just sounds like they can't take a beating. The Patriots are annoying though, with their cheating, running up scores and D player touchdowns to screw fantasy football (another Simmons point).

I actually had more respect for the Cowboys of the early 90's - and that's amazing.

To Dan Steinberg, Randall Godfrey, et al:

Just like baseball, there is no crying in Football. If you don't like what the other team is doing, stop them. Don't cry after the fact. It makes you look like a whiny loser.

ROFLMAO, thats moronic but you are entitled to your opinion (even if it is childish)

Posted by: caphcky | October 29, 2007 12:47 PM

Seriously dude, get off the floor

LOL, cheating (only if you get caught and I'll bet there are 30 other teams that haven't been), running up scores, and D player touchdowns to screw up fantasy football.

Well, well, well, whining about running up scores and D player touchdowns are THE SAME CRY. Stop the guy defense DO YOUR JOB. I can't believe it went to Vrabel on that play....there is NO EXCUSE for him being open. My MOM knew it was going to Vrabel (and she's been dead for 5 years) I find it hard that the Redskins missed it.

The fantasy football is just hysterical. Stop whining and get a life.

Joe Gibbs had better stop the "character" requirement and look for "talent" and "smarts" in his players. The lack of talent was obvious as were the mental lapses.

Yeah the 6 year olds in the game yesterday got their embarrassed by the big meanies on the other side of the field. Rather then exposing the coaching staff and players as no talent quitters with zero pride, the winner team should have mercy upon their weaker foe. We wouldn't want them to lose their job over just one game.

Being the typical homer you are it is much easier and popular to point out others fault rather then looking at one's inabilities.

The Patriots are now officially the Cobra Kai of the NFL

"No Mercy!!"

Where's Daniel-san when we need him...

"Sixty minutes are in regulation and you play until the end. Period, end of story. WTF were the Pats supposed to do, take a knee with 9:00 left in the game?"

Going for it on 4 and 2 in the 4th when you are up 30+ points and can easily kick a FG is running up the score, no matter which way you look at it. You'd have to be an idiot to disagree. Of course they ran up the score.

But the Patriots dont see running up the score as a negative. And thats fine for them. But this isnt Euro futbol where goal difference means something.

BIG BOY Football
There's no WHINING in the NFL

No Defense in Washington either but
that would probably be "running up the
obvious".
ROFLMAO

Play better. Hold onto the ball. Suck a little bit less.

And can we really have a post about a lack of class without commenting on Macklin. At least Schlereth didn't need anyone to hold a towel for him.

January 1, 1984 - Redskins 51 - Rams 7. Did we complain? Did Joe complain? That was before the Raiders thrashed our behinds in the Superbowl. Didn't the Bears once beat us by 70 points in an NFL Championship game? Now that's running up the score!

the only thing the redskins are doing better than losing this year is whining.

They didnt even show up AT ALL!

What the **** is wrong with the redskins???

Its as if everyone is hoping the other guy is gonna stop that guy, catch the ball, whatever. That was embarassing to watch.

Keedrow,

And there's the problem. Even when Joe Gibbs goes after talented, but troubled players, we get Brandon Lloyd. He has to be the worst player personnel person in the history of the NFL.

I used to think the Patriots were a real classy organization that worked real hard. After yesterday I realize they are a bunch of jerks who have no respect for the game. The plays they were running may not be "cheating" by rule but they were dirty in my opinion, which I am entitled to.

Someone had to come out and take position... thanks Dan.

Not that I think that NE should stop the way they are playing. The Pats are allowed to play however they want to (like everyone on the team said...) Hopefully it will catch up with them sooner or later.

Sportsmanship isn't a rule. But if it were, they would break it too.

"I used to think the Patriots were a real classy organization that worked real hard. After yesterday I realize they are a bunch of jerks who have no respect for the game. The plays they were running may not be "cheating" by rule but they were dirty in my opinion, which I am entitled to."

YES YOU ARE! You should also be entitled to a job at the Post. You sound just like a sportswriter who sees the team play ONE game and can analize everything they did right or wrong. No respect for the game? When the Redskins quit in the 3rd quarter I sort of lost respect for them but thats probably not remotely possible in your world.
ROFLMAO

"You sound just like a sportswriter who sees the team play ONE game and can analize everything they did right or wrong."

Fixate much?

The best way to stop the Patriots from running up the score would have been to show some DEFENSE. The Skins were outplayed, outcoached and lost big. Same old Skins, year after year since the Danny era.

"Running up the score" is bad until the team with the huge lead "CHOKES" and loses the game it was "winning". THIS NFL season had the following: the Titans have a 35-7 lead heading into the FOURTH qtr but barely escape with a 38-36 win. The Bears had an, again, 4th quarter lead but lose by letting the Lions score 34 points in the quarter. A few years back, the then Super Bowl champion Bucs gave up 21 points in the final 5 minutes of our fav (FOURTH) qtr and lose the game in OT. In today's pass friendly NFL, "RUNNING up the score" is a phrase that has outlived its relevance. FYI, I am a Skins fan since birth.

Heard this on the radio thought it was a great point - should the Patriots Defense have stopped trying or put 2nd stringers in to allow the Redkins top score and avoid an embarressing shut-out? Of course not.

Why should the offense stop - and what does it matter if its a pass or a run? To me, kicking the field goal is more "piling on" then going for it on 4th down.

Many many times late in games BB and the Pats have sat on the ball late in a game when it was clearly over - the late score by Brady was in the opening minutes of the 4t Q!!!

"There are 60 minutes in a Football game", and "What were we supposed to do, kick a field goal", are all that needs to be said about the character of that jerk in NE. So, stick to your guns, you classless A-Hole, and when you have Brady dropping back on a team, with a 35+ point lead the next time, I hope someone takes a late hit on him, and ends his career. "What was I supposed to do, slow down and not hit him?" would be the best line heard following the game. I hope the Colts destroy them next weekend, and put at least 3 or 4 of their players out for the year. The best would be to see Manning still in there at the end of the game, throwing a TD pass, while they have the game securely in their hands. I know that wouldn't happen because Tony Dungy has class.

Like washington has never scored in the 40's or 50's. What was the detroit score?

Kind of funny how our sound sytem went out a few times when we were on offense.
Coincidence? Regarding the above thread, there's a reason why many people do not like Belicheck (sp?) even though he is proficient at his "job". When it get's down to it, it merely shows his priorities. One can agree or disagree with running up the score, but it just shows his character. People can then judge whether they find that trait favorable or not. Obviously, most find that act less than respectable.

What does "ROFLMAO" mean?

I'm generally confused by anything and everything that caphcky has posted. There arent any sentences or arguments.

Anyway, Pats were running up the score. Its a value judgment whether you see that as a positive or a negative. Most here see it as a positive - offenses are on the field to score, so if you think you can make a 4th and 2 instead of going for a FG, you do it. Which the Pats did. End of story.

I have heard that just about every team that has played the Patsies at their stadium have complained to the league about their communications sporadically going out. They have said that it will go out for like, 2 out of 3 plays, then be fine for the punt. I think it is laughable that the league hasn't stepped up and done something about it, just like they did nothing about their filming incident. I don't care what other fans may think, but I will say what all of us really wish for. I cannot wait to see Tom Brady laying on the ground with his knee completely torn to shreds. Then, let's see what Bellicheat says then.

I'm utterly baffled by these conversations.

Is there a mercy rule in the NFL like Little League games? Is this a professional football game? If so, the game should have ended in the third quarter. Would that reflect well on Mr. Gibbs or the Redskins organization? Should the Patriots simply come out and taken a knee on every down in the fourth quarter?

As Bill Parcells once noted after a Patriots lopsided loss, "It's not the offense's job to not score."

If people don't want the Patriots or the Colts of year's past or the "greatest show on turf" Rams to score -- then play defense.

To all of you criticizing us and the players for whining, I don't like whining either............but a wise man once said "show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser". I would rather hate getting our a**es kicker and have it stew and come out next week and take it out on the jets than take our lumps quietly. I like that at least one redskin said "I'd like to see them agian" maybe their not all Pu**ies

The Patriots played hard through the whole game. In most of the sporting world (from what I understand), that's a mark of respect, not a display of classlessness. Throwing in the reserves, or slacking off says "We don't need to play hard to beat you." That's where the disrespect is. Anyone else catch this the end of the Giants game at Wembley? The Brits were booing Eli Manning for taking a knee to run out the clock. They booed him for not trying to run up the score!

JW, it is not the "amount" of points, its the fact that once the outcome was certain, NE kept in their frist string, passed on fouth down, and went for a touchdown rather than a field goal or punt. You play to "WIN" not see who can score the most points so you get to the BCS championship game.

Maybe you feel Campbell should have taken a knee and run the clock when it was obvious the game was over?

The Skins ticketholders should be glad they got to see at least 1 team play this weekend.

You play until the clock stops, and you play hard. And in baseball, you run hard to first base every time. You want the mercy rule, go play little league.

You want class? The Pats kept playing. And they played the same damn game the whole time and the skins still couldn't adapt. Makes me glad I'm not a 'skins fan.

"I've been coaching too long," Belichick said. "I remember being on that side. When I was coaching defense it was my job to keep the score down, not theirs. When you're playing defense it's your job to stop them. It's not (the offense's) job to not score. It's like I tell the offense, what the (bleep) do you think I send you guys out there for? To punt? We have a punt team for that. That's not your job. Your job is to go out there and score points. If you come off the field and you haven't scored points you haven't done your job."
------------------
There you have it.

I can't wait to get back at the Pats in the Super Bowl! Just let them try to run up the score then! This is just the motivation Hall of Fame coach Gibbs needs! Now if the Redskins can only get better instead of being stuck in mediocrity! That goes for the whole NFC!

What a joke...this is the highest level of football, if you aren't good enough to stop a team's offense it's your own fault. The Pats want to continue to improve, so they are basically using the 2nd half to "practice" real game situations. If you don't like it, then just stop them. If you can't, then get better.
And the field goal/4th down thing...kicking a field goal is a guaranteed 3 points, going for it on 4th down is giving the defensive a chance for a turnover. View it as you may. I don't think 8 minute drives would be classed as running up the score either.
And I just love how every Pats hater wants us to show class after the entire sports world bashed the hell out of the Pats with the whole overblown camera-gate thing....you're all getting the *ss-kicking you asked for while ganging up on us at the beginnning of the year....blame yourself.
Pats beat-down the Colts this week by at least 25 against a Colts team that, in your words, "ran-up the score" against us back in the regular season last year. It's officially payback time for every team out there, and every whining hater.
Get better...or go home

Scott---I caught that in the Giants game.

I would have booed as well, you are overseas trying to sell the product...that was NOT the time to take a knee.

BTW, the Belichick quote was BEFORE yesterday's game...

For the record, I have no particular feeling about the Redskins and am not from D.C., and I also have no particular feeling about the Patriots. All I was arguing was that it's crazy to argue about whether or not they were running up the score, or about whether or not that's considered a classy way to play football. If I liked a team and they were 16-0 but "non-classy", I wouldn't be complaining.

"My dream scenario for next week: with a 21-point lead late in the 4th quarter, the Pats leave Brady in. The Colts call a jailbreak blitz, and about four guys land on Brady, an extremely late hit, resulting in a concussion, two separated shoulders, maybe a broken rib or hip. Brady has ligament damage and never plays again, and karma is restored to the universe."

Yep, thats classy all right. Wishing for a player to be injured and his career ended because your feelings are hurt.

What does "ROFLMAO" mean?

Like Wilbon says, it's a violent game. I thought at least Sean Taylor would have started headhunting, but the Skins couldn't even muster that up.

Gibbs should have told ST that Belichick stole his ATV.

I don't think any skins fans on here are arguing that we played well and/or didnt gey blown off of the field. we did. but all it takes is a glance at the interview with belichick. when directly asked if he was running up the score, he refused to answer, instead giving some muttering about playing a game. he couldn't even say no to the question.
the pats are starting to make TO's and ocho cinco's behavior look saintly

Running up the score? What are we playing here, women's softball where you have a mercy rule? It's football! C'mon, the Skins proved that they are another lowly NFC team. Bring on the Colts!

Did the Patriots run up the score? Sure, but why is that an issue? Football is surely an intense game, but -- and this may seem counterintuitive -- if you 'let off the gas', you get lazy. And that's when injuries occur. In any case, I suspect that the players, to a man, figure that the best way to avenge accusations of cheating against their coach is to sweep through the NFL like the Mongol hordes.

Can't wait till some team takes Brady out for his coach's lack of class. Of course then PatriotNation will cry like little girls.

Here's why i hate NE fans now: yeah you are a fan of a dick team, but that doesn't mean you have to in turn be dicks too. just admit yeah they ran up the score, i would be mad if the shoe was on the other foot too. but its "we aren't running up the score, your sore losers. i keep hearing "well everyone called them cheaters," hello they got caught cheating! all they keep saying is "well other teams do it too" but no one has been caught yet. deal with it, your fans of a dick team, you are becoming dicks too, and you are now hated across the country as the new yankees fan. congrats.

Pulleeeze!! Cut the moaning about the bullies stealing your lunch money! From the 'inside' here's the REAL DEAL: AFTER 'camera-gate' and all of its attendant hysteria, our man Bill called his troops together and showed them how their 3 Super Bowl championships were being demeaned. Did the Pats moan and cry because of what people were saying? NO! They indeed are now giving the entire league the 'effu' treatment. They were fined, they paid the price. Now you're ALL going to pay------BIG TIME!! .... Like Mr T once said: or was it Clubber Lang? "I Pity the FOOlS !!!!!!!! Here in New England we will NOT show mercy -- nor should we. YOU asked for it with your holier than thou B.S. Careful what you ask for!!

What shows a lack of class -- whether as a player, a fan, or a sports writer -- is whining when your team gets spanked. What shows a lack of respect for the game is thinking you can (or expecting others to) stop playing your best halfway through the game because you think the other team isn't up to snuff.

Every dog has his day. Today is Belichick's day. Players and coaches have long memories. When there is an opportunity for them to return the favor to Belichick, Brady or the Patriots, they will do so, with interest. Meanwhile, the Redskins should acknowledge the fact that they were completely outplayed. And Redskins fans should ask themselves why they take it so personally when one squad of multi-millionaires runs up the score against another squad of multi-millionaires.

As a Skins fan watching this game was a horrific experience. I enjoy watching the Patriots play because they are so well prepared and execute their gameplan to perfection. I wish that Gibbs, Williams, Saunders could be that competent. Because it seemed as if every play the Pats called worked. That said I don't think that the Pats should have gone for it on fourth down when they did. I don't have a problem with leaving starters in the game, if they get hurt its your problem, but refusing to kick a field goal when you are going to win the game by 35+ points just seems ridiculous.

Babies. Go home and cry to mommy, don't do it in the media.

"The Colts wouldn't run up the score because Tony Dungy has class" Well, I guess he must have only revieved his class in the last couple of years, because in 2004 when Manning was going for his touchdown record, the Colts were running up the score every week. You pretend to be fans, if you are a fan you might actually remember something that happen 3 years ago in the NFL.

The Patriots play the full game so their fans get their monies worth. The Deadskins didn't even show up that the game. Maybe if they put an once of effort into the game yesterday they would have scored some points.

You know what it's called when a team deliberately doesn't score? POINT SHAVING!!

Lay off the Pats, the 'Skins D was exposed as the fraud that it is yesterday.

Only the last few comments in the article shed light on the real issue. The Patriots are holding a grudge and giving a big middle finger to the NFL, but more importantly their using it to attain a true Undefeated season/Superbowl winner mindset. They've cast aside the notion of being classy in favor of this attitude: "Every down, every play we will do our very best to crush you. We will not stop ever until the 60 minutes is done or until you stop us. Every play is chance to improve. Every play is another chance to learn to dominate in our quest for perfection." They're mindset is, "We can not and will not let down our intensity even for an instant, even if we're winning 1,000 to nothing. If we do, we endanger our season." It's called The Killer Instinct. Um, Duh!
The Patriots have accepted that they have to do things that others don't like to be the best.
PS: I'm a Redskins fan.

Wow. When NE beat Dallas and Dallas fans complained about the late-game TDs, Washington fans told them to be quiet and take the beating. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, look who's complaining.
"keedrow," I think yesterday was the first time I ever saw a FIRST-HALF eff-you TD! Absolutely classic. For me, that was the best bye week ever!

"I remember being on that side. When I was coaching defense it was my job to keep the score down, not theirs. When you're playing defense it's your job to stop them. It's not the offense's job to not score. It's like I tell the offense, what the heck do you think I send you guys out there for? To punt? We have a punt team for that. That's not your job. Your job is to go out there and score points. If you come off the field and you haven't scored points you haven't done your job."

Eh, we got our asses handed to us.
Bill is a douchebag, and eventually he'll pay for leaving his Golden Boy in the game so long.
Nobody gave a damn about the Pats until recently, this "dynasty" will end, likely sooner rather than later. It honestly can't come soon enough, I'm getting sick of the long, slow, sloppy one the media is giving the Sox and Pats. Isn't it funny that Moss was a locker room cancer in Minnesota and Oakland, but now that he's in Beantown, he's "The Smartest Receiver in the Game". Riiiight. More like... sluuuuurp.

"Isn't it funny that Moss was a locker room cancer in Minnesota and Oakland, but now that he's in Beantown, he's 8-0"

Fixed that for you.

I am sorry I don't buy into the not running it up argument. Why shouldn't the better team give their best just because the Redskins suck? Look when you are being paid humongous amount of money, you are obligated to bring your best regardless of your opposition. If you want a mercy rule, go back to college. Otherwise, shut up, line up and play the game.

We'll stop running up the score if the other team starts wearing dresses, how's that? will that make the rest of the league stop whining?
Was Cassel ( the backup quarterback for the Pats ) suppose to not score when he had the opening to run the ball in? and by the way on that last score, we DID have the second team in ( Cassel, Gaffney, Eckels, Washington are all backups) and you still couldn't stop them, are the Pats suppose to stop playing hard because the other team is mailing it in?

Alec, I'm in total agreement. I lived in MA for a little while and enjoyed their first Suberbowl win. Now I can't help but think there is something fishy going on with that team. They are just "too" good, you know? Even Troy Aikman seemed a little shocked by how the Redskins were dismantled. Don't get me wrong - I felt a loss was on the way last weekend, and they did look down right embarrassing, but allowing 52 pts?? Nice Randy Moss push-off TD. I guess that is a pretty regular occurrence though. I hope the Skins can get it together and win some more games, or else (and I can't believe I am saying this) it is time for Coach Joe to really hang 'em up.

"Classy" and "moral victory" as words used by losers to justify their ineptitude.

And to think the top redskins coaches make way more than their counterparts in NE. Gives a new meaning for getting value for your money.

And Jason Campbell saying "When we're in those situations..." is such a riot. When have the Redskins been in that position? And if and when we finally do get to that position, I would we do exactly what the Patriots did: don't let up until the game is over. It's this lack of killer instinct (and of cos ineptitude) that caused us to lose all those games where we led at the half.

"I can't wait to get back at the Pats in the Super Bowl! Just let them try to run up the score then! This is just the motivation Hall of Fame coach Gibbs needs! Now if the Redskins can only get better instead of being stuck in mediocrity! That goes for the whole NFC!"

Whatever anyone's opinion may be, the fact is the Pats are earning lots of haters right now. I am a big time Dallas fan and was rooting for the Skins all the way, when have you seen that happen.

I find it amusing that folks want class from someone who wears a cutoff sweatshirt and uses video cameras to cheat.

There's no such thing as too low with this man.

""Classy" and "moral victory" as words used by losers to justify their ineptitude."

i find this a really sad statement if it's what you truly believe.

the way i see it is that clearly the pats ran the score up and certainly they are allowed to do so. it's true that if the redskins had any problem with it they should have played better.

however, i think there are separate questions concerning whether it was classy and whether being classy matters.

i understand a lot of redskins fans are hurt and upset about the loss (i would be too if i wasn't so numbed already from this team's ineptitude) and we're being kinda poor losers. but i am shocked by the comments of the (apparent) pats fans on this board.

since when does being classy not matter? you are all commenting on how great it is that you're pulling "eff you" TDs on the rest of the league and raising your middle finger to them. why? why is it cool to be an arrogant jerk? why not win with class? i completely understand that the other team has no reason to complain, but why are you so overjoyed that you're acting like dicks to the rest of the leage? has civility completely left this country? so far i've been talking about your comments, not necessarily from the way the pats played.

in terms of that, i can undersand leaving brady in, but why go for it on 4th down when the game is over? don't pretend that the pats did it cause "anyone can come back from any score." the game was clearly over, why rub it in like that?

to claim that they're doing it to get back at everone over the camera incident is ludicrous. the pats cheated. they got caught. they got off pretty lightly, when compared to the punishments given to recent steriod users. so why does that call for having an attitude toward the rest of the league?

just chill out and be gentlemen. you can still win big, just don't come on this board and act all giddy that your team is telling everyone else "eff you."

grow up

Once again, to those who don't get it. The Patriots don't care about class because they're too focused on winning. The Patriots only fear is of a let down. The Patriots made a decision at the beginning of the season: we will take our foot off the gas pedal when the final second ticks off at the end of the Superbowl. They will not allow a let down because they don't want to experience a let down for anything. To them, 110 percent effort for 60 minutes a game is paramount. Everything else is secondary. Everything else is an after thought. If I were a Patriot fan I'd be doing cartwheels right now. It must be joyous to be rooting for a team that is so utterly focused on getting the job done and getting it done with perfection and the utmost intensity.
I'm a Redskins fan, and I'm gonna lay down the truth for ya. I'm jealous. And all you skins fan whiners on this post are jealous. We need to get over it.

This is such a non issue being blown out of proportion as usual. These are professional football players that make millions of dollars each year to play a game. If they play a game as rough as football and cannot handle an ass kicking without crying, they need to leave the game and try their hand at horseshoes.

The article written above, was written merely to incite a level of hatred and anger in DC fans and certainly has at the very least gotten a rise out of a few folks. Comments such as I hope they keep Brady in the game long enough to give him a concussion and seperated shoulders prove my point. Belichick was fined a half million dollars for something that many teams do (videotape). No one manned up to the gamemanship that takes place in the NFL and many coaches left him hanging during the punitive stage so he has simply decided to hang them. No Mercy from a man and team scorned, no mercy to anyone in their path. Circle the next meeting with the J-E-T-S and you will truly understand the meaning of classless...52 will not be enough.

As much as I would hate to agree, Joe Gibbs did not deserve this. He is a great coach and a class act but this honestly has nothing to do with Gibbs, The Washington Redskins nor their fans. It has everything to do with the N_F_L. He will prove his point!

HDawg

Bill is going to get Brady hurt (period). And you will see if he is a good coach. Shoot, I would be in the Hall with Brady as my QB.

I find Jason Campbell's comment on how the Redskins classily deal with the running up the score issue amusing.

Not that he has ever been faced with that moral dilemma.

Could the Patriots be wearing an additional two Superbowl rings if they had put away the Broncos two years ago or finished the game against the Colts last year? You let up, you lose!

Between Belichik and Mangini, I'm starting to think it's time my alma mater stopped cranking out NFL coaches and went back to educating teachers...

all you boston folks must be real insecure. it is the day after your bosox (evil empire 2) win the series and the pats decimate the skins & you can't even enjoy it. you waste your time fighting on blogs instead of savoring your many victories. all i know is if my teams just won like that i would be more secure and just enjoy it. i feel sorry for you.

I'm pretty sure Belicheck would have broke out in a Neon-Deion-esque dance had he any rhythm.

That Belicheck sure is a cheat... and chump.

O we enjoy it. Even when the teams aren't winning, I still get to live in the greatest sports town/area on the planet.

Now the area is BLESSED with great sports and teams that are winning:

Red Sox World Series Champions
Boston College Football #2 in the country
UConn (Basketball School is in the Top 25)
Celtics are getting ready for a great year
Bruins started the season well
Pats are 5-0 and the rest of the league is crying because they score too many points.

Nope, don't need your pity. We have the best sports fans and our sports teams DON'T QUIT just because they are ahead by 45 in the fourth quarter.

The Evil Empire 2 comment is just envy.
Start to win down there and you'll be able to experience what we have EVERYDAY

What struck me what the contrast between Gibbs's after game interview compared to Belichick. Gibbs just exudes class from every pore while Belichick exudes a more noxious body product.

Running up the score or not (passing on fourth down while up by five TDs is proof that they were), Belichick couldn't hold Gibbs's jock strap in the class and decency department and the Good Lord knows it.

Well theres something you can hold onto then....congratulations!
ROFLMAO

the internet's anonymity ... letting brilliant people like caphcky get their message out to the world. awesome.

just as i suspected, nothing to add to the topic.
(pitiful)

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Are any Redskins fans complaing that the Caps ran up the score on Toronto? 7-1 hockey = 49-7 football.
