Re: Boomer Esiaison:BB should pull brady early in such games
Patriots have won only two blowouts (refreshing, really).
The first one was against the trash-talking Jets. No WAY Brady misses the chance to finish that game. The second one, Brady came out, maybe one series too late for a lot of people, but the Bears had had some flashes and were really a few bad breaks/plays from making it closer.
You also have to consider the importance of the 60 minutes theme. The Patriots lost some bad games in the second half last year and against the Jets in week two this year. They've also allowed the Steelers and Colts to put up some points late. It would have been pretty weird for BB to have had the big huddle in the Jets game, gone all "60 minutes!" on them then started pulling players.
Now, the 60 minutes message has been received. I'm reasonably sure that, moving forward, any Pats blowouts will mean more of Hoyer, more sitting of aching players.
