I've never heard so much nonsense as I'm hearing now about the Patriots running up the score. I still can't believe that they were accused of running it up against Miami despite being outscored 21-7 in the second half.
Anyhow, I'm curious what the whiney crybabies thought of the following Super Bowls when they took place.
Super Bowl....................Result..................................Year
XXXVII..........Tampa Bay 48, Oakland 21.................... 2003
XXIX..............San Francisco 49, San Diego 26.............1995
XXVII.............Dallas 52, Buffalo 17............................1993
XXIV...............San Francisco 55, Denver 10................1990
XXII................Washington 42, Denver 10...................1988
XX...................Chicago 46, New England 10.................1986
XVIII...............Los Angeles Raiders 38, Washington 9.....1984
I......................Green Bay 35, Kansas City 10................1967
These were the good old days. I can't remember any crying back then. You could beat the snot out of a team and all the players, coaches, and fans knew how to take it like a man.
What has happened to our society? Have we really digressed to the point where we must cry about everything?
Do we really think great teams should bench their players at halftime because they're so much better than their competition?
And as fans who spend a lot of money to see our favorite players, is it right for our favorite teams to simply stop trying once they get a large halftime lead?
This is PROFESSIONAL football. The players are paid big bucks. The statistics and records are supposed to be meaningful. Is it right that a team should sacrifice all their stats and potential records because they happen to be so much better than the competition that they're not supposed to play the whole game.
I mean listen, there were posters on this very site that criticized the Patriots defense for giving up 28 points and over 170 yards rushing to the Dolphins. How can a team be expected to take it easy on a team and then criticized afterwards for giving up garbage time yardage while taking it easy.
It makes no sense and defies logic.
There is only one logical explanation. This is all just a bunch of homerism by Patriots haters who can't stand the fact that we really are the greatest team the league has ever known. They can't stand the fact that not only are breaking records, we're shattering them.
