Alright, I have had plenty enough of the crap people are spewing out lately, whining that the Patriots are running up the score. These men aren't playing pee-wee football anymore. There's a reason there is no mercy rule. Football is a business. If you were the executive of a sales department, and you were selling 20% more than your competitor, would you tell your sales people to slow down their attempts at getting accounts as to let the competition crawl back into it? NO! You do NOT hold back. You push towards 25%, then 30%, and keep pushing! You never stop.
Theres a relevant quote to this:
"Losers quit when they're tired. Winners quit when they've won." - Author Unknown
YOU DON'T LET UP EVER, not until the clocks expired. They only take out Brady when the game is "safe," yet they're still passing because the guys on this team are competitors. They won't quit because the other team can't stop them.
Theres a reason they're still getting better, as well. Belichick is going to feed these guys a bunch of humble pie after this game, in his weekly attempt to remove mistakes that crop up. Belichick must have been an Arnold Mori fan:
"Winners build on mistakes. Losers dwell on them."
-Arnold Mori
This Patriots team is so good because they are not becoming lackadaisical. They give it their all EVERY down and EVERY play, and scarily enough they are still improving.
All that matters after the game is who gets the W. Whichever team has the most points gets the left column incremented, and the points don't really matter at all. Who cares if they win by 1 point or 30 points? They still only get one win. The team is just making sure they can't lose - they're going to give it their all the whole game to keep the opponent down. If you expect them to lay down to make you/your team feel better, you need another sport. This isn't the little leagues anymore.
