Re: Should the Pats be running up the score on everybody in garbage ti
The main thing I see is that Belichick has already shown a propensity to take unnecessary risks for his team. And I know a lot of Pats fans want to rationalize why Brady is out there in blowouts (to keep the offense sharp, add to the legacy, etc) but I still think it's an unnessary risk. And after the "WTF Why would Belichick do that!?" reaction when they got caught cheating against the lowly Jets, I'd expect the same reaction if Brady went down with an injury in a blowout drive.
It's just a little easier to justify it when everything is going smoothly.
