The Rams did it when they were the greatest show on turf, my Packers did it in 96 to teams like the Bucs and Chargers. the defense is paid to stop scoring and they're paid 3-6 mil a year on average for the starters. These aren't kids where you have to worry about them anymore, they're grown men. If you want the other team to quit playing, then take your own starters out of the game. I didn't see the Skins taking Portis or Campbell out, so why should the Patriots? This isn’t anything new for the Patriots so why is suddenly so offensive to everyone?

They aren't showing anyone up. They are playing hard for four quarters and I applaud them. I'm not even a Patriots fan, but I like the way they play. They look like a team on a mission and as long as you aren't a fan of the team they are playing, it's fun to watch. They aren’t show boating. They aren’t showing anyone up.

If they dont the Pats will score the 'f-you' TDs every single time. The Patriots I think have made it clear what anyone in the league thinks is fair and whatnot. Wipe your tears and play better.

Will you think it's a problem then? Good luck turning that ship around. Seriously, just because these guys are making a lot of money to play doesn't mean we should just throw sportsmanship out the window. That's simply ridiculous. Not only is what the Patriots are doing unsportsmanlike, but it's stupid. Leaving Brady and Moss in during the 4th to run up the score? Brady is luck he still has kneecaps. Karma will catchup with these bitches soon enough. You start letting unsportsmanship run rampant in the pros, you’ll see it at lower levels soon enough. Will you think it’s a problem then?

Aren't those 11 guys on the other side of the ball getting paid a king's ransom to stop them? What should the Pats do when they are winning by 30? Punt every 3rd down just so it is 'fair? Reality check people this is not t-ball, no one is on the sideline patting the Skins on the back telling them 'At least you tried your best'. I hate this crap about 'sportsmanship' leave that crap in your gym classes this is freaking pro football. Who cares if the Pats run up the score?

I mean they are tied with the Colts for the top spot in the AFC and they just happen to play them this week. I don't know how many times over the years I've seen supposedly unbeatable teams pull their starters early as they crush weak opposition week after week, only to eventually run into a tough team and be unprepared for a four quarters fight. This week is the AFC Championship preview, and the winner has the inside track for home field throughout the playoffs. I personally don't mind seeing the starters play late into the fourth quarter. It's risky, but I think it prepares them better for the playoffs. Is it possible that Belicheat just wants his players to stay sharp?

Like I said before. I have a feeling that Brady or Moss won’t complete the season.

Jon stated that "Karma will catch up to them. In this league Bounty's do happen and it's real. I wouldn't be surprised if someone puts a bounty on Brady. Somone might say Hey, Ill pay you $20,000 to break his leg." I have a feeling Moss or Brady won't make it the entire season. You know they do have the Ravens on there schedule.
