Default Bill Belichick...Footballs version of...

General George Patton:

"I don't want any messages that we are holding our position. We'll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy! We're gonna hold onto him by the nose and we're gonna kick him in the ass! We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose!!!! You know, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against..."

Bills been manufacturing this season for the sole purpose of redeeming his teams loss last year to the Colts in the AFCCG (38-34). A game we could have and should have won! We eased up on the gas pedal in the second half and got pasted. There will be no repeat of this in the future. This has been made abundantly clear to all!

William Tecumseh Sherman

The Union general wanted to end the Civil War as quickly as possible so he enacted a 'scorched earth' policy on his march to Atlanta and the sea, burning anything that could be used to help the Confederacy. Even some in the North questioned whether his tactics went too far..(sound familiar?)....

Sounds very familiar! I'll take the General that wins at "all costs" over some General that cares more about not losing than winning.

Go Patriots!!!

That would have been Gen. George McClellan.As President Lincoln once wired him because of his aversion to combat,
"If you don't want to use the army, I should like to borrow it for a while." ...

The closest BB will ever got to the military was hiding behind his late father's career at Navy.

Please tell us you are not a Patriots fan who is upset by our margins of victory....PLEASE!

If we were to maintain our scoring pace, the Patriots have a "chance" to break the Minnesots Vikings season scoring record. This means that the Vikings must have run up the score quite a few times themselves.

Keep in mind there are several teams that barely fell short of the Vikings record and we all know they could not have been in 52-34 type games all season.

I would rather have the most dominant team EVER than a team that was the 4th or 5th most dominant team ever because their coach was nice and let up at the end to keep "honor".

If I had the personnel the Patriots have and a chance to be the most dominant team of all time, I would try my absolute hardest to be the most dominant team of all time.

ANY COACH WHO WOULDN'T DOESN'T DESERVE TO KEEP HIS JOB!

So who out there would rather have;

1. A nice coach who "maybe" could have had the most dominant team ever, but didn't want to do because he'd hurt people's feelings?

2. A coach who saw that he had perhaps the best team ever assembled and decided to try and become the best team ever and could care less about hurting peoples poor wittle feelin's?

Which is it? 1 or 2?
