I guarantee you the Colts, Steelers, heck (I'm a Redskins fan) even the Cowboys wouldn't do such a thing.
if you're going to leave brady in, you run the best offensive plays and players you have. their spread offense is what affords them a running game. just line up and play. when brady comes out, they'll run the offense that gives them the best chance of scoring. it's not classless. it's the game.

What team in the NFL has that many DB's to cover all the receivers and sets the Pats can throw out there. Answer: No one. You would have to run dime or quarter the entire time, and then there are 2 problems, you give Brady all day and it leaves the run game open. Not to mention that your Dime Backs would then have to cover Welker and Watson who could be a #2 WR and a starting TE on any other team.

Pats used to be classy before Belichik got a chip on his shoulder and decided he had to prove something.

Make Belichick a deal:

Lose the Cheatriots, *, and SpyGate; and the Patriots lose the FU attitude. ;)

I don't care how many years from now it takes, the next time the Pats can be embarassed, some coach is going to really tee off.

That could take a while. The pats currently have the #2 pick overall in next year's draft! LOL!

i don't mind what the patriots are doing, but if they kick an onside kick then that's just taking it too far!

To make it more fair, the opposing team should be allowed to keep the ball after scoring.

The opposing team would need to score more often to make that fair

Who cares what the rest of the league thinks? Fuck them

Hmm you seem like a person who values class on their team a lot -_-

(Oh and I don't think I even asked what you guys thought the rest of the league was thinking-- in fact I don't think I even mentioned it)

At the very least, it would allow them to keep the Pats offense off the field.

Can anyone actually beat the Pats? Seriously! I don't think any team in the league can even come close to the performance they put out week after week. Why even watch their games anymore? It's like putting out some powerbait during opening day of trout season..

Was just thinking..they should put their snapper in as the RB..
