I don't think it's the running up of the score that has everyone's panties in a bunch, it's the fact that the Pats are doing it every single week. It's not something that has ever happened before...we're now at the halfway point and the pats have blown out EVERY SINGLE TEAM, including two of the best teams in the NFC and the Browns and Chargers, who should be fighting for playoff positions down the stretch.
People are afraid of and intimidated by things they don't understand. This team, this collection of Pro Bowl talent across the entire roster, just doesn't happen in the NFL's vision of parity (and, for that matter, it wasn't happening 20, 30, 40 years ago, either). So they see a team that has no choice but blow teams out week after week (I mean, can you really call the dogs off in hte 3rd quarter every single week?), and their fear turns to anger. That's it and that's all.
