As the Patriots learned last year, it's important to allow your backup QB to get some experience when he can. Like I said... if they really wanted to run up the score, they would have dropped 80 on the Titans. In other news, notice that the losing team is never the one complaining about it. It's always the fans. The losing team realizes that complaining won't do anything, but that they just need to get better, and it won't happen next time. I'm not a fan of the Titans. Obv. they could have tried harder. I just don't like the lack of sportsmanship sometimes from Belicheck & co. First drive of the 3rd quarter, Brady threw it 6 times and Maroney ran it three. This was already with a 40+ pt. lead. It wasn't as bad as some of the games in 2007 when they were going for it on 4th downs with crazy leads. Whatever, I guess. Yes

#6 \| 34 days ago rigatonys (+)	Like i said earlier, these sports reporters are hypocrites. Would the Wilbons of the world even mention this if it were the Colts, Saints, Giants or some other team scoring mega points? OF COURSE NOT!! We'd have to hear all about that particular teams wonderful awesome offense. I get sick and tired of hearing it. Pat, you're 100% correct and i couldn't agree more. Thanks for the comment. No

#7 \| 34 days ago jerryyelverton (+)	There is no such thing as "running up the score" in professional sports. As a Saints fan, I once saw a 35-0 halftime lead end up a 42-35 loss to Ken Stabler and Oakland. Winning or losing big does not gain, or lose, "style points" for rankings as in college. These players are being paid mega-bucks to perform and should give 100% the entire game.... whether winning or losing. Now personally, as a coach, if I had a big lead, I would rest my starters to prevent injury. But, if the other team started a comeback, I wouldn't hesitate to put them back in. No

#8 \| 34 days ago Pat (+)	In other news, the Patriots averaged 9.5 yards per pass attempt. Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis, the Patriots backup RB, averaged 9.6 yards per carry. Maybe, by passing, the Patriots were trying NOT to run up the score. No

#9 \| 34 days ago hockeyfruit95 (+)	haha patiots will go far this season but i dont think they can make it to the bowl. i am a pats fan but honestly vikings and saints have and amazing team this year. it will be one of them. No

#11 \| 34 days ago WISAC1 (+)	offense=score points. defense=prevent the points. these were PAID professionals, not the intramural bingo team from little sisters of the poor convent. it's an embarrassment to be sure but it happens. call it like it is. one team STUNK. No

#12 \| 34 days ago stagehandscott (+)	they just played football! No

#13 \| 34 days ago vindog (+)	(Edited by vindog) Well considering they pulled Brady and Moss midway through the 3rd quarter- I say NO! AND they ONLY scored 7 points after Brady and Moss left the game....... It wasn't like they were throwing 50 yard bombs to Moss while being 40 points up with 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter like they did a few years ago against the Redskins! LOL No
	5
#14 \| 34 days ago rogercarver1960 (+)	Isn't scoring points the whole purpose of a football team? The Pats didn't do anything different than any other team to score points, they just did it more often. You could say the same thing about the Saints running up the score on the Giants or when the Bears beat the Lions 48-24. Yes

#15 \| 33 days ago medonnaj (+)	I'm proud of my Patriots, they played one hell of a game. They just showed that it takes team work to win a game with huge points or not a WIN is a Win period... don't hate..

#16 \| 32 days ago carlalbert64 (+)	There is no such thing as "running up the score" in professional sports. If one team lays down, what are you going to do? I would also say if you play with less the the max intensity in these games, that is when injuries happen. As was mentioned, the Patriots did pull starting players in the 3rd quarter and only scored 14 points in the second half. I would agree that if one of the Manning brothers had a performance like this, we would have had to face a week on salivating, butt kissing coverage by all the sports reporters that have their noses so far up the Mannings *sses! No

#17 \| 32 days ago JKB37 (+)	Its a football game. A professional football game.. Their job is to score points.. The defense is supposed to stop them.. And considering most of the regulars only played until the first drive of the 3rd quarter, then no, they didn't run up the score.. No

I'm glad you agreed with my prior comment. However, since you brought it up...... I, for one, am glad to see the "sports reporters" salivating over someone besides Tom Brady for a change. I bet Brady's a$$ is more comfortable now without all the noses that have been up it for the past 7 years. (But I'm sure a Pats fan wouldn't have complained about that). But, that is not intended to demean Brady, as you were obviously trying to do to the Mannings. I think Brady is a great QB and a sure HOFer. Peyton is already there too, but Eli has more to prove. They all deserve the attention they get. It is not any of these guys fault where the media sticks its noses. They smell for a "what have you done for me lately" aroma. No

I think you misunderstand me....... I think both Mannings are VERY good.... I just don't LIKE them at ALL! I am tired of seeing their stupid faces on every other commercial....... Peyton should be a HOFer, no doubt and Eli MAY exceed even what Peyton has done provided the Giants keep him surrounded with good talent...... If I was trying to demean the Mannings I would have started a thread like Pat did about Worthlesburger saying they are over rated and then ranted about it for a month..... hehehe No

#21 \| 28 days ago jerryyelverton (+)	Apologies for misunderstanding... but why do you not like them? They are great guys. I was born and raised 50 miles from them, so they are home boys for me. Went to all their high school games and some of their college games. I have met and talked with them and Archie many times. Great family! I've been a Saints fan since Archie was there, but I pull for the Colts and Giants just because of them. Hoping for a Saints-Colts Super Bowl. lol No

#22 \| 27 days ago Reddwarfer (+)	If they really wanted to run up the score, they'd have kept Brady in. Also, they would have challenged the safety they should have earned. They shouldn't stop playing good football just because the Titans were beyond pathetic and their defense was a complete joke. Any given Sunday. Never take a win for granted until the clock runs out. No

Whatever, I guess. you know somtimes the patriots are smarter than the fans.when you are playing a game and you have the ball you try really hard to score no other reason. andif there is a lead you practice other plays it as simple as that no professional team should ever sit back No

I would assume the losing team would be complaining about it BECAUSE THEY LOST. Anyway, they're coach's last name is Bellicheat. Yes

#25 \| 9 days ago jacobmrley (+)	The Tennessee Titans used to be the Houston Oilers and they once led a playoff game 31-3 and lost 41-38. In the pros, there is no such thing as running up the score. The players are all there to do a job. Plus, the Pats let up in the second half, removing all trace of doubt. The embarrassment should be on the Titans side. No

#27 \| 9 days ago hwsteelers (+)	Maybe the Titans should try playing some Defense. Losing one player dosen't make that big of a difference. Does it? No
