“That’s what you should do,” he said. “You shouldn’t be conservative and sit back just because you have a lead. They took Tommy out for a while and they put him back in because of the interception. That’s what the game is.

“If you don’t want people to run the score up, then stop them. I have no problem with it.”


Amen.

I totally agree. It is funny though. Both the Rams and Colts have run up the score in years they were the best offenses in the league, but I have never seen it as much of a big deal from the media and fans of other teams before this year with the Pats.

If you look in the media though, most former coaches and players have no problem with the Pats running up the score. Mike Ditka, Bill Parcells, Mike Golic, Marc "Stink" Schlereth, Boomer Easiason, and others have all echoed Taylor's sentiments. Ironically, Marino is the only former player who seems to critical of the Pats when he has been known to run up the score himself in his day.

Marino is still pissed about his last playoff loss. What was that 400-7?? I never watch him or his stupid show. He really is still the whiniest guy I've ever seen.

Pats 2nd half last week: Miami 21 - Pats 7 "Running up the score"

Colts 2nd half week 1: Colts 31 - Saints 0 "Protecting a lead"

It seems to me like Jason Taylor is sick of the Dolphins. There is no doubt in my mind he is gone after this season. Hopefully he plays well the rest of the way so we can get a first rounder for him.

A first rounder for a player in his 30s who is likely to retire totally within 3 years or less...Are you serious or just dillisional?

3 years ago yes a first rounder was possible...now a 2nd or 3rd at best

Amen. If you don't want another team to run up the score, then stop them. It's that simple.

BB would not be afraid to say "Hey, we couldn't stop them, that's our fault"...
