Listen, Moron. Since you don't understand about FOOTBALL, let me fill you in. The FACT of the matter is that it was 4th down with 1 yard to go from the Washington 7.. The Pats RAN the ball. Was it the Pats fault that the Skins didn't stop him from getting a 1st down? NO..
What should the Pats have done? Kick a field goal? If they did, you'd still be whining that they ran up the score. What are the Pats supposed to do? Just take a KNEE? There was over 11 minutes to play in the game. That would have been an even BIGGER insult to the Redskins.
Next, you are going to complain that the Pats put Cassel in and let the kid actually have some live snaps to get him some game time in passing situations..
You should STFU and listen to your team's CAPTAIN. You know, the Defensive MVP from last year. The one you are always beating your chest over. He said that the Pats weren't running up the score last weak and if people are going to be upset they should be upset at MIAMI for not stopping the Pats. The same things applies here.
You're right on the money with everything you say. I have a sneaky feeling that Aqua probably knows it too.
Let's face it, the Patriots can't win in this. Let's say the Patriots did what the Dolphin fans wanted last week, and took a knee from the second quarter on, they would be BLASTED for insulting/embarrassing the Dolphins. You know it, and I know it.
Ditto this past week. You can't take a freakin' knee with the whole 4th quarter left to play. Aqua, I challenge you to give me one example when a team ever did that in the history of the NFL. You can't. It doesn't happen.
DaBruinz, the Patriots put in their 4th string RB, and back up QB with 8:30 to go in the game, and then put in back up defenders, and people like Aqua say 'running up the score'. That should tell you all you need to know about who's being disingenous, and who's not being classy.
And, mark my word, if the Patriots actually attempted a gimme FG with 38 points up on the board, Aqua and others would have cried foul. It's disingenous. It happens when a fan roots for a team that has 0 wins on the year, when his rival team has 0 losses. It's phoney. It makes him feel good.
Anology: Let's say somebody makes a bet with you, and they lose the bet. Then, let's say that person doesn't pay up, and makes up stories about why he doesn't have to do so. It's being dishonest, but it makes him feel good.
