Did the Dolphins run up the score on the Patriots? (1 Viewer)

Best thread this season, and I'm a NE fan. Laughed even harder as I started reading all the responses.

Beautiful stuff, just beautiful...

I have to say, as a Shark, this type of thread pisses me off! This forum is for serious business only - of course a lot of people are going to take this type of post at face value! If you're looking to yuck it up take this crap over to the FFA where it belongs!!

Thanks, Mr. Bell. While watching the game my only solace was seeing Ronnie Brown on my opponent's bench. Now, after reading responses in this thread, I see that there are people even more clueless than New England's defensive coordinators.

It's gonna be a long season . . . but we can do it! 18-1 YAY!

[Novice2]

..... Dolphins ........ their high powered offense .....

Im sorry i had to stop reading there.

 

[ravnzfan]

I came of age in football watching coaches like Joe Gibbs have their QB's take a knee late in games to run out the clock even if they were in the red zone and you could expect them to score against a totally outclassed team. But yesterday I was horrified to watch the Dolphins continue to run their high powered offense - the same thing over and over and over again - against a clearly vanquished foe, and have to say that I was crestfallen at the lack of sportsmanship.

Do you have to keep running Ronnie Brown off of direct snaps when the Patriots have clearly demonstrated that they can't stop it?

I felt bad for Belichick at that post-game press conference because decorum doesn't really allow him to fault the Dolphins, but you know that deep down he's got to be hurt by the disrespect. I think the league should step in and offer sportsmanship awareness courses for coaches like Sparano who take the game beyond decent sportsmanship and turn it into some sort of ghettoesque free for all with other coaches' and teams' self respect.

I'll get off my soap box now.

Add in an insult to the Miami Dolphins organization and fans, and a random attack on one of the Manning brothers you have 10/10.As it stands, 8.5/10.

 

[Silver & Black]

Hell no! I say good for the Dolphins. BB ran up the score several times last year and made no bones about it. Turnabout is fair play.

Not so easy for the Pats when you can no longer cheat! 2008 is a year of redemption.

So not only did you miss the point of the thread, but you missed where the 'cheating' thing was after the first game last season, so they obviously weren't for the other 15 wins. You may want to run a tox screen on that silver face paint.Bitter? Me? Noooooooooooooooo

I am a Dolphin fan, so it pains me to say this:The "cheating" was a non-issue. I won't rehash the reasons why because that is another debate. I would say "Not so easy for the Pats without their World Class QB!" is a tad more accurate.

I didn't read a thing in this thread, but IMO there is no such think as running up the score in the NFL. These are professional athletes not Pop Warner mitey mites. Whether you lose 52-7 or 28-7 really shouldn't make any difference.

It works both ways. If a team wants to leave their starters out long enough to tack on some extra points, they are exposing themselves to more injury risk. Had Brady suffered the injury he had in Week 1 this year late in the 4th quarter of a 52-7 pasting last year, I suspect people would have been even happier than they are now that he got hurt.

Please forgive us for not being quite up to your intellectual level. MAYBE.....people understood the original poster was being sarcastic (as many posts before mine indicated) but decided to join in the ongoing conversation, regardless of the OP's intent? Just because HE was being sarcastic doesn't mean the thread must die and the subject can't be discussed. Personally, I made a comment to my brother yesterday that the Phins were running it up on them and I was enjoying every McFadden impression Ronnie Brown did so the topic is valid IMO. You take away the sarcasm from a Pat's fan that's offended and this thread would be legit.

 

[LILB811]

The left handed toss is probably what really ticked Belichick off the most. Sparano and Brown definitely stooped to new lows with that one.

Easy dude, I was just having a little fun at the expense of the Patriots.First, I agree with David, there's no such thing as running up the score. Crazy things can, and often happen in NFL games. You score when you can and as often as you can. Period, end of story. I am in the camp that if you don't want to be humiliated and scored upon, then play some defense. That's the reason I am a fan of the sudden death OT. All those people that complain the game is decided by the coin toss are nuts, imo. If you lose the toss, man up and play some defense and get the ball back.I digress.As for my jibe about cheating...well, you wouldn't begrudge a die hard Raider's fan some longstanding bitterness against the Pats, would ya?

As a Pats fan, I think they had it coming. Wounded ducks who are being hunted. If you can't stop the Ronnie Brown direct snap formations you deserve to give up 5 TDs.

I didn't read a thing in this thread, but IMO there is no such think as running up the score in the NFL. These are professional athletes not Pop Warner mitey mites. Whether you lose 52-7 or 28-7 really shouldn't make any difference.

Had Brady suffered the injury he had in Week 1 this year late in the 4th quarter of a 52-7 pasting last year, I suspect people would have been even happier than they are now that he got hurt.

Pats fans are pretty much forced to respond like this. The Pats made their bed last year.Do I detect some sour grape assumptions in the 2nd quote?

I don't think the score should be the defining factor of what running up the score is. If it's in the 3rd quarter and you're winning 42-0, I don't think it's running up the score if you throw another TD pass to make it 49-0. However, there is such a thing as good sportsmanship. If it's 28-7 and there's 5 seconds left in the game and you throw up a bomb, to me that is running up the score and it is poor sportsmanship.It's not how many points that you're up or down that defines running up the score, but when and how you do it.

Imagine if the Giants do it this year? Now that would be a story. Actually, the only thing that could make Boston area football fans feel worse now, would be an undefeated BUF vs undefeated NYG in a subway (type-like) Super Bowl. To quote another movie... "I just threw up a little in my mouth."

People were calling for Brady to get hurt last year in these situations and some even indicated this year when Brady did get hurt that the only thing better would have been if it came in a game they were up by 40 points.As for the good sportsmanship part of the game that is missing (IMO) compared to youth sports, I was at a Pop Warner game yesterday where one team was way ahead (like 20-0) late in the game (last minute). The losing team had the ball first and goal inside the 10 yard line with no time outs and the team that was ahead used all their timeouts to give the other team a chance to score. They didn't end of scoring, but I thought it was a unique way to end a game.
