Patriots Running Up the Score; What’cha Gonna Do About It?

onthebuzzer.com bill belichick4th and 1 on the Buffalo 3, Patriots up 35-7. What does Belichek do? They go for it and Brady throws his 5th touchdown pass of the game. Pouring it on, running up the score, call it what you want but the New england Patriots don’t care. They don’t care about their opponents, they don’t care about you, and they don’t care about rules and sporstmanship. I don’t mind it, you go out there and you punish the team you’re playing against until they give up. Sure it looks like the Bills have given up, but if they don’t wanna play, get off the field. This is supposed to be a professional football team and they look like a Div II-A team, if even that. I will say one thing, if the Pats were running up the score on me, I would definitely send in the goon squad for a cheap shot, send them a message. Everyone knows that when an NHL game is out of reach, the goons come in and fights break out. In MLB, someone might get thrown at. Old school NBA-a hard foul. Cheap shot, late hit, roughing the passer, whatever it takes because when the Pats come into town, they’re playing for keeps.

  1. Here’s the deal…
    The Patriots will stop trying to score when the opposing offense takes a knee on every snap.

  3. Brady has been out for most if not all of the 4th quarter in the rout games. 2nd-string and 3rd-string RBs did most of the work in the 4th quarter against the Bills. What people don’t get is that the Pats ARE taking the foot off the pedal, but even when doing so, some other teams (Bills, Redskins) can’t even stop them then. Meanwhile, blowhards like Steve Young–whose 49ers passed in the 4th qtr of rout games, includign a SB rout of SD–conveniently forget that ll good teams with high-powered offenses have routed other teams. Even the 72 Dolphins, with only a “pretty good” offense, ran it up… on the Pats, as a matter of fact.
