I've been wondering why does the Patriots get criticized for running up the score, while the Seahawks, Giants, and Texans don't? Is it because the Pats do it regularly, even if it's to a team that deserves it (the Jets)? Irrational hatred. That's the only reason I can give you. Teams run up the score all the time in the NFL. If you're going to criticize one team for doing it, you should criticize them all. You can't pick and choose who you get onto for doing it and saying it's unacceptable when one team does it, but fine when another does. To the players I say, stop complaining and stop their offense. You are in the NFL with a multi-million dollar contract for a reason.

Is it because the Pats do it regularly, even if it's to a team that deserves it (the Jets)? The Seahawks did it with their bench players. The bench needs to get in real reps whenever they can. The Texans do it by running the ball up the middle, for the most part. If you know what they are going to do in order to eat up the clock and you still get run over, whose fault is that? The Giants big win was relatively close until the very end, or at least that was my impression (I did not watch the last half of the 4th quarter).

The Pats could win a game 100-0 and it's still a professional game between two teams of very highly paid athletes. Basically the whiners are morons. Also, nice to see the Lions being as classy as ever.

This EDIT: The height of the stupidity was Miami players complaining and calling the Patriots 'disrespectful' because the Pats kept running the same play over and over and their defense couldnt stop it.

Having played high school football in Wisconsin, I can tell you that it's really easy to lose the ball when it's that cold. Your hands feel like they can't even move.

That was a really lazy route by the receiver more than a bad throw by Stafford I feel.
I'll take it either way though.

This is IMHO apples to oranges after what happened last week- I read that Brown and Brent were close friends, so this isn't one of those volatile situations ala Belcher. This, to me, is a case of the dangers of drinking and driving.

One would think with all that money, there would be someone they could pay to drive them home from clubs/bars
