Default Re: Should the Pats be running up the score on everybody in garbage ti

[ QUOTE ]
If they are using last weeks game as an example I don't think they ran it up. At the end the score was 41-27 a 14 point difference. If they took a knee and turned the ball over on downs it was still remotely possible for Dallas to score, recover an onside kick and score again.

The last score was a straight dive into the line by their 5th string running back. If Dallas was that concerned about losing by 21 instead of 14, stop the 5th string running back from scoring on a straight ahead play.

They could have kicked a FG and still made it a 3-score game. Instead they went for it on 4th-and-1.
