London fans upset at not running up the score? - New England Patriots Forums

Like a minute and two seconds left. Hoyer comes in as the Patriots take over on downs at the Bucs 11 or 13.

Was it me, or did the crowd boo when they saw the kneel down formation. They WANTED another score.

It was a mixture of wanting the team to actively try to score again and the Bucs fans in the crowd just straight booing the Pats.

Makes sense. Their teams (soccer) don't lay down when they're ahead. They don't understand our flawed concept of sportsmanship (and I don't blame them).

Let's give the young Bucs credit. Unlike the Titans, they were constantly trying to make plays. The Titans took a dive and were standing around watching the Patriots run by them.

i want to see the media mentioning this after constantly berating the running up the score argument all last week

They were booing. They did it the past two seasons also when games were played there. Either they don't "get it", or don't care and just want to see offense.

I missed most of the game ... were they throwing crumpets?

Yeah, was gonna say. The whole concept of running up the score being a bad thing is absolutely alien over here. Very much an attitude of 'if teams don't like being hammered it's up to them to stop it, not the superior team to call off the dogs'. If any soccer coach over here came out and complained about being beaten 5/6-0 they would be mercilessly mocked.
