Blame Colts for making us the way we are at end of game. Not Jets..not BB.

Do you honestly think there was any chance that Washington had a chance to come back? The game was completely out of reach. Not to mention, leaving Brady in risked an injury. Sorry, but I think it was a poor move.

I posted this with more depth on another thread. 4 games were blowouts this weekend. All for winning teams kept their starting quarterback in until at least finishing one drive in the 4th quarter.

I tend to agree about the injury, I'm kind of surprised it took as long as it did to get Brady out of there. You can get hurt on any play, let alone when the team you are beating may think you are running it up.

This is certainly true. Makes me think, though...

- Why is it that so many players are publicly criticizing it this time around?

- Why is it that when the Colts do it it's all laid at the QB's feet, whereas when the Pats do it it's presumed to come straight from the head coach?

Was manning throwing touchdown passes in those games when he was up 38 points?

I honestly don't know the answer to that.
