I'm still pissed at Woodson, Favre and Greenbay for not beating the Giants 3 years ago. We were supposed to have played Greenbay in that superbowl.

I hope and hope we make super bowl and the Giants show up as the opponent!

Terrell Suggs is just upset because his tooth-to-gum ratio is horrific. He looks like he has Tic Tacs for teeth when he opens his mouth.

That is so disrespectful.............to Tic Tacs.
I like those!!

Guess what, it's the jets* again.

Jets' James Ihedigbo working hard to return from injury sustained on "dirty play" | NJ.com

James Ihedigbo watched the play several times on film. And each time, the Jets safety grew more convinced his right leg was injured because of a "dirty play" by the Patriots.

"It was definitely dirty," Ihedigbo said. "I watched the play several times, and he went with the intention he was trying to hurt me.

Ihedigbo sustained a sprained MCL in his knee and a high ankle sprain on a 35-yard pass play in the third quarter of the Jets' 45-3 loss to New England in Week 13. On the play, he was blocked by tight end Rob Gronkowski. The rookie shed Ihedigbo to the ground, where Ihedigbo's ankle tangled up with center Dan Koppen, and then Gronkowski appeared to push down on Ihedigbo's right knee with his own knee as he tumbled onto him.

I can remember a time, for many years, that no one hated the Patriots. No one really cared about the Patriots and they just laughed at all things Patriots.

I'd rather see the Patriots hated by our opposition than being laughed at. Envy is the reason the Patriots are hated now.

The description of that play sounds more like just about every NFL play: a block, a pileup, players fall on the ground. Obviously the writer never played the game; questions is, has the writer ever even watched a game before?

Semi-OT: Running up the ******* score

Sigh... another article, another 'Pats running up the score' theme.

Mods: Merge this if you'd like. This topic just seems to tick me off!

This is the article that got to me: Does Tom Brady run up the score? - AFC East Blog - ESPN

Yes, yes. Another mediot hating on the Patriots.

To me, running up the score is adding to the margin of victory when victory is certain. In the NFL, as we all know, victory is [almost] never certain. Remember when the Manning led Colts were behind by 21 points to the super-de-duper awesome defensive Bucs with 4 minutes left in 2003? The Colts won. Indianapolis Colts vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Recap - October 06, 2003 - ESPN

This to me, says that no NFL lead is safe unless the losing team has conceded defeat. If the losing team does not concede defeat, the contest is not over. In every Patriots contest where the loser has conceded defeat by not trying to score, the Patriots have also stopped trying to score [stats not available - I'm shooting from the hip here]. When the other team keeps trying to score like the game is not over, the Patriots keep trying to win.

In other words, if you are getting plastered by the Patriots, you need to wave the white flag before Belichick will take prisoners. If you are defending the Alamo, even if you are the last man standing, BB will drop a laser guided missile into your left nostril just to prove that he can.

If you are still trying to score, even if fans think the game is out of hand, the Patriots will continue to try to win the game. If you stop trying to score and concede the game, the Patriots will stop trying to score.

Again, I'm shooting from the hip here, but this whole 'running up the score' stuff is BS, and has been since 2007. If you're still trying, the Patriots are still trying. Don't cry when the Patriots do it better than you, because you know they will.

BB likes his teams to play 60 minutes... I wanted the patriots to hang 55 on the Jest!

Cross 5 off your list. SoV is the w-l record of the team you beat.

no tied teams have EVER gone down to tiebreaker #7, the first in which scoring lots of points matters

Re: Semi-OT: Running up the ******* score

Let me google that for you:


Strength of victory is figured by calculating the combined winning percentage of the opponents a team has beaten.
Examples:
If two teams end with identical records, combine the records of the opponents in each of the team's wins and calculate the total winning percentage. The team whose opponents have the higher winning percentage wins the tiebreaker.

Re: Semi-OT: Running up the ******* score

I think most of the medidoits finally realized that being a man playing professional football means you enforce your will on the other team. Not doing that makes you look like a little wuss. Anyone that can't respect that needs to go back to grade school

I believe the reporter is Jenny Vrentas who claims she is in her "Rookie season covering the Jets for The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J". That tells you something right there. Still, she seem to understand the video better than Ihedigbo. What he classified as intentional/dirty play, she calls "tumbling". In my experience people who are falling don't tend to do a lot of intentional things.

Which has zero to do with running up the score. You claimed that 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. tiebreakers are all affected by the total score not just wins and loses. #5 is not affected by the total score.

You don't have to google the def of SoV. I know what it is. But even though you have now pasted it in the thread you still don't understand the concept.
