Belichek deserves "A**hole of the Year Award" hands-down!

[joeyb7]

I give Jeff Fisher a lot of credit for admitting that the Pats didn't run up the score. As it was said repeatedly throughout this thread, this league is designed to display raw talent, sell tickets, and keep fans excited enough to keep coming back. Despite the fact that it was a beating, it was still entertaining to watch, and to be honest, it didn't look all that difficult to score.....do you want guys to just run around the field and drop the ball to make it more fair? That would mean people would flip the channel which is exactly what the networks wouldn't want.

 

This whole thread is ridiculous...these are pros out there getting paid millions...if they can't get it together they should be exposed.

Except the dam network flipped to a different game in the 3rd quarter. I have Chris Johnson on two teams i wanted to see if he got any late yardage for me.

Belichick is an "a hole"? Isn't this stated every year? Is this a 5 year old thread?

[G.K.Trey]

Running the ball absolutely kills the clock more so than throwing it. If they break a long TD run, well so be it.

 

NE had to have slowed and changed something because Tenn. certainly didn't. It is rather pathetic that Tenn. would have to rely on NE to put in backups to slow scoring down.

 

 

only if the passes are incomplete, and I didn't see too many of those.

[Grits and Shins]

I notice the OP totally avoided addressing the issue that the Titans didn't stop trying to score ...

[LosGatosEnFuegos]

I answered "yes" but not because of the game. I just don't think anyone will top him this season. Prove me wrong Haynesworth. Prove me wrong.

[jetsfan]

I voted "yes." Not because of this one game, but because of his fine resume of being an Third Eye Blind

Can this guy be for real? What was his motivation for this? The targets been painted on his teams backs now. Good luck Pats!

 

I even started Moss this week and I'm still fuming!

 

I like this better:

 

CityOfChampions deserves "A**hole of the Year Award" hands-down!, Keeps FF starters in thru 3rd Quarter -- runs mouth

 

Call me, The Equalizer! (Thank-you, Thank-you very much! I'm here 'till Thursday.)

just a thought here. i think he did it because they have not been on the same page all year yet. also it was snowing and belichek might have thought it would be good to get some experience playing in the snow since it might not be the last time it snows in new england. this is not high school football. tenn should be ashamed of themselves anyway. new england's backups were scoring at will untill belichek just started running the ball and handing it over after 4th down.

Can we get a sticky that says the NFL has relaxed rules so scoring is easier?

I guess they should have played Tenn the way your Steelers did. I mean, certainly nobody accused you guys of running up the score.

 

Hey, that is a low blow.

Yes they did!!! They just started from the beginning of the game. Couldn't you tell?

[Menudo]

I've got no issue with what the Patriots did and agree with many of the posters supporting this, so, I won't re-state those points. However, if I was the coach, I probably would have pulled the starters at halftime to avoid the risk of injury. Like I said, Belichick is the coach and he can run things how he wants, but, I would have pulled them at halftime, not because I was worried about sportsmanship, but, because I would be worried about an injury when they likely don't need to be out there any longer.
