How long until someone cheap shots Brady if they keep running up score (1 Viewer)

I realize it is the D's job to stop the offense, yada yada. But In a tight game the Pats kick a field goal, but up 35 - 7 they go for it on forth down and 1 ? This has happened multiple times. At some point one of these defensive guys that doesn't like being shown up and doesn't care is going to go after Brady's knees when they keep doing that. One would think Bellichek would care more about that then trying to show everyone up.

 
I haven't really cared about this, but I don't see why you go for it on 4th and 1 when you are up 35 - 7. I think a FG was the way to go there.

 
Perhaps you underestimate the power of arrogance and the imagined length ones penis becomes when you really stick it to someone.

I know it's frowned upon here at FBG to add to any posts related to the Patriots' scoring, but I agree 100%.I've read all the arguments saying that kicking the FG in that situation (up 4 TD's) is worse than going for it on 4th and 1, but I don't see the logic...particularly when they're passing in that situation. I think that the play call there is a standard dive play...if the Bills can't stop it, then it's no fault of the Patriots.

I don't have issues with going for it on forth down say up 10 and trying to put a team away. I just wonder why you risk trying to piss a team off som much that someone would maybe cheap shot your QB.
 
Pretty sure Mangini's putting a sniper in a luxury box for their upcoming matchup. He'll go for the knee, and Brady will deserve it.

 
I think Brady will suffer an injury, but it won't be on the field. He'll mysteriously fall down a flight of stairs. I'm serious. Kind of like when Brian Griese tripped over his dog.

Do you carry a cup around with you to catch the drool, or do you have to do laundry all the time instead?
 
Brady's not calling the plays. That said, I'm a long time Pats fan and am becoming embarrassed now. Brady and Moss should have been on the bench awhile ago.

 
If I were a Pats fan, I'd be pretty pissed if Brady stepped foot on the field in the 4th quarter. The only way the Pats don't win the Super Bowl is if Brady is hurt, and the way that line is playing, the only way he gets hurt is on some nonsense garbage time play where someone just decides to take his suspension so he gets his shot in. It's really just unbelievably reckless.

 
It'll be interesting to see if the opportunity is they will keep pouring it on like this against the Ravens with Ray Lewis and boys across the ball.

In a way i agree...i think the pats have made their point...now it`s overkill.Nobody likes a bully...just sayin`.

I think someone does have to send a message to BB and the Pats but I hope they don't go after the knee. They could just knock him on his ### really hard after a play is over to send the message. Just to plant the seed......

Why will Brady deserve it? He's not the one calling the plays, he's just the one executing them. Does he deserve to be seriously injured because he committed the grievous offense of being very good at what he does?

Absolutely. This act of scoring points is so despicable it deserves anything short of death.
 
The top reasons NE runs the score up:

1) Brady wants record

2) Billicheat's ego

3) put NE in a position where psychologically NO ONE will really believe NE can be beat.

 
Do people really think the NFL is like the Last Boy Scout or something? Everyone is calling for cheap shots... how about calling for some defense.

In any case, Brady might as well be playing a game of Madden back there in the pocket he has so much time. In order to cheap shot him someone has to get near him. I don't think his OL will allow that.

The idiots that say a FG is worse than going for it on 4th down are moronic Pat fans. :hot: No logic or understaning about football at all. :(

You realize that Brady was in for 1 play in the 4th quarter, and it was a handoff.
You realize that Brady was in for the drive that ended on that handoff? A drive that began with 5:55 remaining in the third quarter, Pats up 42-10, on which Brady threw 4 passes - 3 on first down and 1 on 4th & 1 at the BUF 7 - plus scrambled on another first down dropback?I think they are playing with fire. It only takes one.
 
So 10 years from now when you guys are telling your kids about the greatest NFL season in history, a season where a team went undefeated... won it's 4th superbowl in a decade... where the players completely rewrote the record books... where the entire team operated on a level that has never been seen before..... will you tell them that you spent the entire year whining about it on a fantasy message board?*

*Obviously the undefeated/records are purely hypothetical at this point but I'm hoping most folks here are bright enough to catch the actual point behind my post.

PATS GO TOO FAR, AGAIN

With a bye during Week Ten and a close game against the Colts before that, it has been three weeks since we've seen the Ferrari among a flock of Fords that is the New England Patriots.

And it's clear to us that coach Bill Belichick still doesn't know, or care, if he laps the field 50 times.

Twice in the third quarter while sporting huge leads, the Patriots kept the field goal unit on the sidelines for a fourth down deep in the Bills' end. On the second occasion, the Pats were up 42-10 on the Buffalo 10 and New England faced fourth and one.

The groan of disapproval from the crowd at Ralph Wilson Stadium was barely audible over the comments of NBC's Al Michaels and John Madden, who seemed to see no problem with the maneuver.

We did, and we do. The Patriots are abusing their power, in our view, and they'd better hope that Earl Hickey is wrong about that whole karma thing.

We don't know whether it's karma or fate or just an innate sense of justice and fairness, but we've had a feeling for a couple of weeks now that something will happen to keep the Pats from getting to the Super Bowl or, when they do, someone like Brett Favre will find a way to chop down the beanstalk.

Well, now that the receving corps are similar skill wise I think we can put the debate over who is better between Manning and Brady to rest. :thumbdown:

And just imagine how much worse of a thrashing this would have been if the Pats had some "illegal" video to pore over :hophead:

This post struck me as funny, especially with the username you chose....

Its got to be an all time something when guys are complaining about how NE plays in the 3rd quarter. I dont even know how to term it. I dont want to call it whining, or crying, or hating, or complaining or despising, because all of that is unnessecary and insulting. But it really is something. I just dont know what it is. Running up the score in the third quarter?? Maybe 4 or 5 more of these 3rd quarter blowouts can help me figure it out.
So you're saying that what the Patriots are doing is not "running up the score"?
Well, now that the receving corps are similar skill wise I think we can put the debate over who is better between Manning and Brady to rest. :yes:
Well, now that Manning has finally had a competent defense in the playoffs, I think we can put the debate over who is better between Manning and Brady to rest. :yes: Seriously, Brady won a ton of superbowl rings but didn't put up great numbers because he had an awesome defense and brutal receivers. Manning put up a ton of numbers but didn't do anything in the playoffs because he had awesome receivers and a brutal defense. Last year, Manning got a great defense, and he won a superbowl ring. This year, Tom Brady got awesome receivers, and he's putting up stellar numbers. Neither proves anything other than that each could have done what the other did if he was surrounded by the other's cast.

So there's no way it could ever be possible to be running the score up in the 3rd Q?What's the official time into the 4th Q where it becomes possible to label a coach/team as running up the score?

:yes:

 
I heard that at all home games they're going to have a drawing at halftime and a lucky fan gets to qb the team in the second half.
