[quote="Pete C"][quote="Trekgeekscott"][quote="Pete C"]I recall a game against Jacksonville in '98, we were up 33-3 late in the game, against a rookie QB (Jonathan Quinn) who passed for a total of 4 yards in the second half. We continued playing the starters and even blitzed. We sacked him (Randle?) and somebody returned it for a TD. Now it's 40-3. We scored 10 more points with most of our starters in the game. Cunningham was eventually pulled but probably due to the hand injury. Scott, would you have been in favor of Coughlin telling his players to deliberately injure Moss, even if it was an illegal hit?[/quote] Pete, it is 2007. The Vikings did not go for it on 4th down with a 45-0 lead. and if the Jags had a problem with the defense teeing off, and they went after someone on the Vikes, I wouldn't be happy, but I would understand it. If the Pats feel it is necessary to score f you TDs after they clearly have already won the game...then they should risk getting their players hurt. they want to pour salt on the wounds, then they should be prepared for retribution. Now ask yourself this. You think that classless cheating bastard Bilichick wouldn't have his guys lay a dirty hit on someone if they were running up the score? One of the big reasons he keeps doing it is because he knows most coaches out there wont play dirty like he does. Believe me, they start laying late hits on Brady's ribs...He'd stop running up the score.[/quote] ****************************************************** I wasn't aware that the Patriots were laying dirty hits on anybody. Maybe Harrison has that reputation but I think that came primarily from when he was in SD. You are the only one I seen advocating taking cheap, illegal shots in retribution for getting beat. I wonder if that is a tactic you would teach your children.[/quote] Really, Can't read JC's comments? And you can't read my statement either? I said if Bilichick was down 45-0 and the other team was going for it on 4th down, you don't think he would send someone to lay a dirty hit on the QB? He's already shown a disregard for the rules...why all of a sudden would they be important to him? And it isn't just for getting beat. They were already beat and the other team decided to rub salt in the wound. They were already beat and the other team opted to try to get 14 more points on the board. There is a HUGE difference. I would teach my children that if you are winning and beating the other team badly that it would be sportsmanlike to not run up the score. T respect the other team. If the other team can't show you respect, then they don't deserve it either. In the future, since you don't know me from spit, I would appreciate you not bringing my children into any conversation that I didn't bring them into first.
