    So - I say again what I said yesterday to this moronic way of thinking: What then is the solution from all you whiners? Take a knee on every down? Kick a field goal on fourth down instead of going for it? But that's disrespectful. Go for it on fourth instead of kicking a field goal - and that's disrespectful. When does Brady come out - third quarter? Second quarter? First quarter? How very disrespectful! Should the Pats have to kick off 10 yards farther back than the opponent? Again disrespectful. Maybe they should play with fewer men on the field? Maybe they should spot the opponent 2 touchdowns? End the game with a mercy rule? Or, maybe some of these other teams should grow a pair and defense the Pats. I ask again - what is your "respectful" solution all of you whiners?

    "we don't mind losing but do you have to score so many points on us? You embarrass us and it hurts our widdle feelings. "

    somehow a cheap shot is alright but scoring points isn't...

    one thing not mentioned is that points scored and given up can be a deciding factor in home field advantage

    this ain't Sunday school'..this is professional football..about the closest thing to gladiators we'll probably ever see..a loss is a loss is a loss..does it matter by how many points you lose?
