Romeo Crennel: When asked, "What is the proper etiquette at the end of the game when a team is so far ahead? Do you throw it in the end zone in that circumstance like Belichick did?" RC: "The proper etiquette is to try to win the game, and I think that is what he tried to do. When you go out there, it is the defense's job to stop the offense. Whether they run or whether they throw doesn't make any difference. It is our job to stop them. We were able to stop them, so we were able to get off the field in that instance."

Well stated by Romeo and he's spot on.

"You play to win the game!"

So when the Colts score late its running up the score. But when NE does it, it's called "playing to win the game".

Ok.

How about if you don't turn everything into "Colts". Jesus. I frequent a Browns board but am smart enough to when when to play my card vs. when not to. Quit it.

Well I can go back to liking Romeo again. I've been rooting against the Browns up until now with them on our schedule but they're in the rear view mirror now.

Ok.

Those words have never come out from me on this message board. So, please direct this to those on the board that say this about the Colts.

Thank you.

Always loved Romeo. I saw some good things out of the Browns yesterday. Loved how they never gave up and tried making a late run.

I still think they need quality depth in the backfield.

Ok.

Come on Ryan, when "so far ahead" is ONLY 10 POINTS it's just called football.

There was still a minute left. The Browns have home-run potential with the likes of Braylon Edwards. They hit one long pass, suddenly you're looking at an onside kick with just a 3-point lead. You have to go for the touchdown to secure the victory.

As for pass vs. run, I'm sure BB & co. would have rather stuck with the ground game except for the little problem that scoring running touchdowns has been this team's one glaring weakness through week 5.

Ok.

Why don't you go back to tipping cows or whatever you rural hicks do in Indiana? By the way, this is the New England Patriots message board not the Indianapolis Colts message board.
