The high scores this year are unreal ... remember when all the rage was parity ... I guess that went down the toilet. There may be 32 teams but the league is watered down ... let's face it the salary cap era has led to a watered down league due to superstar desperation to make $$$.

You are unclear on the concept, apparently. Having LT accumulate all of his carries in only the first half is the opposite of running up the score. It's not about the points you score, it's who scores them, if you are talking about running up the score.

Please, you have got to be kidding me. Doesn't even compare with any of the games where the Pats were considered to run up the score.

1. Detroit threw 5 interceptions.
2. We pulled our starters in the 3rd quarter.
3. We ran the ball most of the 3rd quarter, and all of the 4th quarter.
4. The Lions self-destructed.

As opposed to the Pats playing their starters the entire game and continue to throw the ball. THAT, is the difference.

No need to get all bent out of shape. Everyone in the football world knows the Chargers wouldn't stoop to something as cheap and as baseless as running up the score...the Chargers fans define it a little differently...the score just happened to accumulate because of their class and good will at taking their time scoring touchdowns.

No problem. Now you can go home. Thanks.

Why did I know this thread would get started? Bottom line, SD rested people and the last score was all about the 2nd team.

I haven't taken exception to anything the pats have done this year. I think in actuality it's pretty hard to take exception with the pats this year. The pats had a workman like performance today and I applaud it. The pats are a very good team and I hope SD gets and opportunity to learn more about them this year.

So it's Detroit's fault that you were able to score

But in our case, it had to be our fault to score

You ran the ball the entire 4th quarter. That is what you do best. If you did not want to score and give the opponents a chance, you would have thrown the ball. Why didn't you guys do so? You guys did what you do best - run. We did what we do best - throw.

When the Pats pulled out the starters in the 3rd - 4th, we were still called running up the score.

Talk about blinders...
