You're probably too young to remember this, but there is no such thing as "running up the score" in the NFL. Still bitter about Monday night I suspect.You do have a good point though. It would be very polite of the Patriots to run the ball every snap and go three and out for their opponent.
Right after you typed that they did here. I just switched back and the game is back on. Must have caught a lot of flack.

I don't think it's a special gameplan, but they do make some alterations. If you look at the receivers' routes, there's a lot less emphasis on making cuts to get YAC, and a lot more emphasis on straight line running. Watch the receivers on a screen and it seems like they start running forward before they get the ball. Watch the crossing routes and it seems like they're running more forward like a slant, not just straight across. That doesn't mean they aren't cutting, it just means that they tend to have momentum on their side when they do make their moves. Hester's best return was similar - he was running straight up the field, then made a sidestep here or there. It's hard to cut in the snow.
That big ol meanie from NE just intercepted that ball. Doesn't he know he should not be doing that??????Classless
After the pick he should have run backwards to his one yard line and downed it, you know, just to make things fair.That big ol meanie from NE just intercepted that ball. Doesn't he know he should not be doing that??????Classless

The guy is crying because he thinks the Pats are running up the score, everyone is piling on the guy but you single me out.Hilarious.Are you related to ScottyFargo????
I'll take unknown rolling head smileys for 800 Alex.3-10-NE 29
Another myth, but from where I sit, the Bears have no interest in even playing this game, never mind mustering any energy to hurt somebody.
I have not been watching this game, but I think that happens a lot in these really ugly weather games. Once a team falls behind by a lot, especially early, they just want to get the game over with. It reminds me of the Titans losing 59-0 last year.
Believe me, I love throttling a team just as much as the next guy. And myths aside, wouldn't you rather see your backup QB getting mop up work, in this kind of weather, just in case something bad were to happen? As a fan of this team with all my hopes riding on the arm of Brady, I would not want him in the shotgun with 5 minutes left in a 36-7 blowout. As I'm typing this, BB comes to his senses.
I'm actually not a fan of anyone in the NFC North....I just find your posts annoying and immature.Do you get enjoyment coming into this game thread being a troll just because the Packers lost???

Agreed, I'm unbiased (Broncos fan) but I'm amazed at what NE has done the past few weeks and over the course of the season, especially after getting rid of Moss. Pretty incredible. I was not a believer until last week.
I agree, I also really questioned the trade for Branch. Moss for a 3rd....branch for a 4th....but it's turned out better than most have imagined. Hard to see anyone stopping NE at this point.

I'm thinking they give the Pack a nice beatdown next week. I think it'll be much uglier than today's Bear game.
I'm thinking that they will get a beating especially w Rodgers possibly out (which he should be based on the NFL"s concussion rules). Glad I have NE D and when the team is kicking everyone"s butt the defense seems to step it up in December!
I'm not knockin' either of those teams --- new orleans certainly embarrassed the pats last year, but how did atlanta do.....?http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore;_ylt=...gid=20090927017Seriously...those teams couldn't beat teh NE practice squad players. I like Ryan but...31 points total (thanks to Turner)? And NO is just not that good this year. They are struggling with STL.I suspect he means ATL and NO.New England at Buffalo?
This is a bump for the thread that just got shut down. You have no room to talk about calling people 12 year olds Flash.I find you annoying and immature.So we're even.Quit stalking me.I'm actually not a fan of anyone in the NFC North....I just find your posts annoying and immature.
