I also see no one mentioning WS continuing to play and scoring, then going for an onside kick. Why didn't they lay down, as they should have according to some of the "expert knowledge" being displayed here?
Again why aren't people complaining when other teams score 50+? It's not like its the first time its been done.
Jealousy is a bitch, just like many sore losers of the teams the Patriots are beating.
No doubt.
Sure running up the score isn't being a super nice guy but football isn't about cradling fragile ego's. He let Brady do his thing, started pulling starters and went for it on fourth rather than take guaranteed points.
Players need stats too since thats basically what gets them paid. They could have stopped at 40 sure but redskins didn't seem to want to slow down either. As long as the other team continues to play to score why should they stop? Gibbs could have come out run it 3 times and then punt but didnt see him doing that.
I mean at like 38-0 Gibbs could have also come out and just said "look you win can we go home now?"
