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

Maybe its cause he's the only one watching the games.

Against SD, the game after the scandal broke: with 3 minutes left and a 31-14 lead they go for it on 4th and goal with 3 yds to go.

Buff: With a 38-7 lead and 4 minutes left, they go for it on 4th and 6 on the Buffalo 8.

I'm too lazy to look up the other games but are you guys starting to see a pattern?

What are they supposed to do, kick a field goal? It's pretty standard with a big lead deep in your opponent's territory late in a game to go for it all 4 downs, worst case scenario you make your opponent go 90+ yards.

Exactly. I mean it's one thing if they're throwing Madden-style bombs to Moss on 4th down near midfield. It's another if they're just playing it safe and avoiding a fluke loss. And yes, I've seen more than one Pats game this year [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
