Pats rip Dominic Raiola cut block

[The Brandon Five]

Disgusting. At least Suh is violent all game long. This guy got his butt kicked all game and then turned into a cheap shot artist when the game was long decided.

Right, when he no longer had to deal with Big Vince.

When there are relatively few runs (20 out of 64 plays from scrimmage), it's fair to look at the one outlier that drives the average up.

We'll just have to disagree on the rest. It's my view that if you pass 2x as often as you run, your plan was to de-emphasize the run, especially when you ran more than you passed the week before against a weak run defense.

The only drive during which the Pats ran more often than they passed was on the drive right before the two minute warning in the fourth quarter: seven of their 20 runs for the entire game came during that drive.

In the entire rest of the game, they only ran the ball 13 times but passed it 43 times. There is just no way that it can be argued that the Pats were not staying away from the run game yesterday.

Well, Blount averaged 4.1 a carry if you take out his 33 yd run, so still pretty effective considering the D they were playing.

That the most cowardly part of the whole thing right there. I mean a cheap shot is cowardly to begin with, but that's just icing on a chicken-s*** cake.

Mosley and Raiola should both be fined.

If they chose to fine Gronk $8500 for throwing Sergio Brown out of the club, they should fine those two knucklheads for potentially concussing players.

Good point. Makes you wonder whether they might have run more, but when you beat down the best ranked D (notice I said "best ranked," not "best") in the League for 34 points, I guess you don't argue with success. They clearly had the right game plan.

As an aside, I also wonder how many of those yards were put on during the drive right before the two minute warning when the Pats ran seven out of the only 20 times they ran all game.

How the hell is Raiola not going to be fined??? That's just absurd! 4 straight plays of illegal acts and no fine? Nevermind the fact that the Refs ignored it.. They should all be fired for their negligence on the issue. But the fact that the league isn't suspending Raiola, who is a repeat offender, shows the double standard they have..

If I'm Kraft, there is no way I'm not on the phone reaming Goodell over this.

Easy way to get Raiola fine? Simply put Beats headphone on him during media interview, automatic $10k fine.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the NFLPA needs to file a grievance about this. when one of its own intentionally tries to injure another and nothing is done, it's clearly discriminatory on the part of the Commissioner.
