MustOfBeenDrunk Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Unless I'm way off base ?? Many NFL players have contract $$ tied to their performance So when we see a score like this weekend of 62 - 7 and some people claim it is classless to run up the score if a player on that winning team salary is tied to how many Sacks Tackles Touch Downs Receptions Rushing Yards How do you ask a player or team not to preform to their best when it would mean taken money away form their kids education or just their pay check ?

Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The stripping industry in many NFL cities is dependant upon those dollars being earned. Won't somebody think about the Stippers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 0ne Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Uh, if you don't want the score run up on you, play better. It's a pretty basic concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% but even if a coach wanted to cut another team some slack, if he had to do it at the cost of a players salary that wouldn't be fair either is my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 also, somewhere in breaking ties, points scored is used... you have go go deep into a tie-breaker, but its in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see what you are getting at but I dont think it will come into a coaches thinking when deciding if they should keep their foot on the gas.

Chloroform Rx Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am the type of person who loves watching records being broken. So when I found out that the Saints were 12 points away from breaking the single-game scoring record with almost an entire quarter to go, I found myself a little disappointed that they weren't going to do it based on sportsmanship. I understand why, don't get me wrong, but I was disappointed nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Bears would still hold the largest margin of victory record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondString Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't think the players on the field often slack off intentionally. It's the coaches who have more control over the running up of the score by whether or not they leave the regulars in, and the play calling choices.

They could have pounded them for another 14-17 easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
