taking out bradys knees

Re: OTL stoking the fire

Riiight, I think it was David Garrard's ankle that was injured on the hit Monday night.....

And we're still waiting for the fine on that one... or does it just apply to pats defensive players?

 

[Fahrenhype]

I already can't wait for the bye week. People are more upset about the Patriots than wild fires, terrorism, and people in their 20's that don't know the English speak english.

Re: Can we please stop the "let's maim each others quarterback threads"?

Great thinking!

"Instead of PM'ing the Mods, where it flashes up on their screen where they can't miss it, can quickly see it and remedy the problem, I'll just ***** and moan publicly and twirl around by starting a new thread (which a Mod has now merged into this thread)complaining about all the redundant threads."

You're a Mod yourself at NEM's site. You would think you'd know better.

In the meantime, now that I've seen this (later than I would have if you merely PM'ed me) I have consolidated the threads as you requested.

Sorry shmessy, I've never contacted a mod before. Sincere apologies.

I'm not really one in the same sense as you. It's kind of like a little museum that not many people go to where I post old time Patriots threads.

That's OK, Ray. It's all good.

Folks, the best way to get a Mod's attention ASAP is to use the PM capability. We're not always on the site and we can't see everything in every thread, but if you PM us with any request - - it will flash on the screen the next time we are on Patsfans and we will most certainly respond immediately to your request once we see it.

Myself, I go back and forth from my business screens to this site throughout the day - -so it is catch as catch can.

 

[jcdavey]

if ne wasn't running up the score, the media wouldn't be saying someone is going to kill brady soon on a late hit.

it's going to happen, it's a direct result of running up the score and keeping him in late, and that in turn is a direct result of spygate, which itself was caused by the jets

so you guys are about to really hate the jets again soon, and i'm thinking it's going to happen when you least expect it

i expect NE to beat the colts to death this coming weekend though , at least by 30

I've used that little triangle when somebody posted porn, but that's just for a post.

All the mods are listed on the bottom, should we just guess who's on, or is there a catch all PM?

Also, I kind of did mean to voice my disapproval for everybody that starts, or feeds, internet tough guys, "let's break the quarterbacks legs", threads (it doesn't matter if it's ours, it always ends up in a back and forth).

I think it's juvenile, pointless and I guarantee most end up Being locked.

If an opposing player makes a threat, that's a league issue.

If a poster or writer does, "That is the reply of losers", in the words of the late Bucko Kilroy and should be ignored.

Just my opinion.

I think what all of the media folks perpetuating this story forget is the great amount of respect TB has from the players in the league. Players look out for one another and don't just "bounty" good guys for blowing their team out. Tommy carries himself with class on and off the field, and is well-liked by other players. He's no renegade QB running up the score and talking crazy smack degrading the opponent. He's a great player executing an offensive gameplan.

I agree, but all it takes is for one guy, tired and frustrated from being dominated all day, to go after the knees. It wouldn't be personal against Brady, it's a shot at Belichick. They can't go after BB's knees (although I'd prefer that to Brady ) so Brady's the next best thing.

I think it's more likely that Brady gets hurt on a freak injury when he's still in there late in a blowout, to be honest. That seems more likely than a cheap shot to me.

Anyway, this won't be a problem in the Colt game, clearly they won't be getting blown out and Brady will be in there the whole time. After that, we'll see. Maybe Belichick's bloodlust will be sated by that point, who knows.

I find it a little disturbing that this is taking up so much of the conversation with the media though...I don't know, just strikes me as weird that people are discussing potential deliberate injuries to franchise QBs like it's just another topic...just gives me a sad feeling.

folks, shmessy is right... when you need to contact important people on this site such as myself, all you have to do is send a PM.

I'm a very busy man and i have very busy plans. I work hard. You work hard, you play hard. You work hard, you play hard, you buy nice things.

PMs are the way to go. I will you show the way. Lets start a revolution

 

[PatsFan#37]

This seems to be the sentiment from fans everywhere. go to any rival site and I guarentee you there is a patriots thread. open the thread and you will see idiots talking about our "lack of class" yet ironically the suggest taking bradys knees out. THATS WHAT THIS HAS COME TO GUYS, scared and insecure fools no longer able to think up a real way to beat the pats so the suggestion of intentionally injuring #12 seems rational. now thats class

I guess the team is fortunate that the fans don't play the game.....

I'll guarantee I'm the toughest guy on the internet. I'm 7'10" 400 lbs. of solid muscle and I run a 3.91 40 on sopping wet grass.

You don't want to mess with me!

Re: Wilbon endorses knocking out Brady thru dirty play

The goal is to legally hit the QB on every pass play. I do not expect anything other than every team trying to get to Brady every single play of every single game. A late or dity hit however is not tolerable no matter the circumstances. To suggest a late or dity hit because you can't stop them is acting like a baby with no integrity. Have some damn pride and stop them if you dont want them scoring. Or just quit and stop trying to score yourselves damnit. What the hell kind of mind frame to people have to have to even suggest that one team should stop trying but allow the other team to still try their hardest...

You mention "integrity" but you see nothing wrong with what Belichick did? IMO that shows a severe lack of "integrity" as well........besides the fact that running up the scoreboard can result in nothing but potential problems down the line. Late and questionable hits being one of them......

 

[Fencer]

im 100% sure that if a scumbag took out brady. harrison and the defense will take theirs out with the blessings of belichick.

Well, if it was too blatant the offender wouldn't leave the field in the first place with his career intact.

That alone limits the risk somewhat.

It's a shame you don't know what running up the scoreboard is. But before I go on, what specifically are you talking about. Going for it on fourth? Keeping Brady in with 11 minutes remaining? What exactly, please specify so I can address your concerns the best I can.

You're comparing setting out to deliberately injure another player the same as running up the score? Seriously?

I'm sorry, but the more I read the more I'm convined the NFL is made up of a bunch of little children. I'm supposed to feel badly for the Redskins players, a bunch of overpriced stars who quit in the middle of that game yesterday? The Patriot players should what, feel sorry for them?

The Redskins players should be down on their knees thanking the Pats for the fact that this running up the score business takes attention away from the fact that the Skins looked unbelievably unprepared, and made fools of themselves on national television. Gibbs gets it. However pissed he was at Belichick, he didn't say it publicly because he knows his team embarrassed itself with its play.

The reason I want Belichick to take a step back is because I worry about a Brady injury. That's it. I'm not worried about the Patriots hurting the f'n feelings of a bunch of millionaires who can't be bothered to even play hard the whole game. If there was some guarantee that Brady would stay healthy, I would want this Pats team to shove it down everyone's throat the rest of this season.

What a bunch of whining ****ies. God, the more I read, the more annoyed I get.

I've been an avid football fan for over 30 years so I have a pretty good idea when I'm watching a team "running up the score" on another.

I was referring to the 2 4th down plays that FG's would have been more than sufficent instead of going for it.

I never said they were comparable but both deal with the issue of integrity. Football is a vilent game played by extremely proud players. You don't think that it is a possiblity that someone would take retribution for rubbing their face in it by taking a "cheap shot". If Belichick keeps it up it will eventually happen.

Not for nothing I imagine if the situation was reversed you would have an uproar on this board for the same thing.

Ok, lets think about this for a second. Up by 38 points, you are saying a FG is better than going for it. When you are up by that many points, your main goal is to kill the clock. A field goal has only one purpose in the NFL and that is to score 3 points when you need points. Kicking a field goal is NOT an option. There are two 4th down options you have when leading by so much so late. Go for it (when in FG range) or punt it (when in your territory). Kicking a FG would be RUNNING up the score, adding 3 unnecessary points for no reason other than to score 3 points. You want the clock to run down, therefore you want the first down to keep killing the clock. You kick the FG in close games and early in games because you need every point you can get.

It just makes absolutely no sense to kick a FG in those situations, ever.


Now if passing is considered running up the score, well BB brought up a great point today on WEEI. In those situations where we have chosen to pass late in the game, the defense is playing heavy on the run putting all their force to stop the run. Handing the ball off and running right into it, causing forceful havoc in the trenches is a much larger risk for injury. Throwing the ball in that case is easier and safer.

Of course I think it's a possibility that someone will take a cheap shot, that's what I said in the post you quoted. But that's the only reason I want Bill to back off. I don't think running it up is ruining the "integrity" of the game. My God, people are practically having bigger fits about this than spygate, which was a much bigger 'integrity' deal in my opinion.

And if those Redskins players were extremely proud, then they should have played like it. They gave up on that game. I'm not going to sit here and cry about how Belichick injured their poor pride. This wasn't an NFL team playing against a college team, these are professionals on both sides.

Of course Pats fans would be crying if the situation was reversed. Fans are fans, they're supposed to react like that. It's the Redskins players and the media whining and wailing that's the most unbelievable thing. And if the situation was reversed, which Pats player would whine about it? You think a Bruschi or a Vrabel would talk about how their feelings were hurt instead of talking about how much they stunk up the joint? Would Brady? Rodney?

That's why I said, if there was some guarantee that Brady would stay healthy, I would want Belichick and this Pats team to score as much as humanly possible. This 'public outcry' sh*t is getting ridiculous.

The more talk about this the better. Its everywhere.

If Goodell has not heard about this he isn't paying attention.

Needless to say the idiot who attempts it will get at least a year off.

If anything, take it as a compliment. It just shows how good we are that this is the only way to stop us.
