I'm not misunderstanding your post, I'm disagreeing with the possibility entirely given what I recall of that game (and that was a beat down).
Rodney Harrison got taken out by one of Gregg Williams' players in 2006. I'm sure Belichick was aware that it was a possibility.
Does anyone think that BB maybe knew about the bounty program and that played into him uncharacteristically pulling Brady with enough time left to make a comeback in that game? I remember he got hammered for it at the time, people saying that he was "running up the score but the moment they are down he throws in the towel"
just a thought....
If we're going to look at any hit from that game it should be the one on Faulk (was it Vilma?) He got crushed on that hit but bounced right back up.
That game was a blood bath, Saints fans still talk about it 3 years later. It has to be a top 5 franchise win for them. I try to explain that's it's barely a blip on the radar as far as losses go for me but they just think I'm still mad over it, which I find strange.
This is true.
Well, except for the fact that Rodney was hurt in 2006 by a Titan offenseive player and not a Redskin defender.
BB was working as a secret agent for Goodell to collect information on the Saints bounty program.
No it was Sharper. I don't see any reason why we should not talk about the win though. We don't talk about the bears, vikings , etc...
Its really a thing of respect if you think about it. Beating the Patriots is special, because you are so good year in year out, and we knew we were modeled after you at the time.
No one Braggs about beating the Browns, but yeah, I was at that game and it was special because it was almost a right of passage for us. We beat a truly amazing organization. Not that we will next time,lol.
And I bought many Pats fans drinks.
It might seem small to you because you win all the time, but for us it was pretty big. We beat someone we respected and knew that with out a doubt was the best. Its a huge complement to your ball club and boys if you ask me. Just my perception. See it for what it is, respect.
It really does the last 10+ years into perspective for us Pats fans. The 2009 Pats were, I'd argue, the worst team fielded since 2000, and Belichick had essentially given up on the defense when he traded Seymour and replaced him with Jarvis Green. Yet, it was a milestone for the Saints to stomp us.
