Redskins defensive coordinator on the Patriots going for it on fourth down:

"They could run the ball. That's what most teams do when they get ahead like that in the fourth quarter," said Daniels. "They run the ball to knock the time off the clock. It's better to kick the field goal. I would be satisfied more if you kicked the field goal rather than throw the ball or go for it on fourth down. You've already got a giant lead and you still want to go for it on fourth down, to me, that's running up the score, no matter how you look at it."

I kept waiting for the word "cocksuckers" to appear in the quote.

I have a feeling that karma, and the fact that this will be bulletin board material for every team the Pats will face, has ruined any chance for the Pats having a perfect season.

A motivated professional athlete is a dangerous thing.

The fake kneel down and then pass by Brady ought to be notice to the rest of the league that whenever Brady attempts a kneel down, the defense should knock him on his ass, every time. If no quarter is asked, none should be given.

There is no such thing as running up the score in the NFL. With only 53 guys on the roster it's not like you can empty your bench and play a bunch of freshmen.

Like somebody else said, you don't like them scoring so much? Fucking stop them then.

So I "watch" most games via Yahoo scoreboard (sad sad, I know) since I'm on the desk during Sunday. All day I kept thinking how the Skins would keep up with the Pats, and as I keep seeing the Pats score TD after TD I'm thinking, "Jesus effin Christ -- these guys are a machine." Is anyone going to come within 25 points of the Patriots this year, Colts included?

This might be the most dynamic, devastating team ever. 52 points on the 5th-best defense.

And yes, the Skins farked up my afternoon parlay partay. Bitches.

Cowboys came within 21

When you have a comfortable lead, run between the tackles three straight times and use all the playclock running the next play. Then you punt or kick a field goal. Actually, with a lead, pinning a team inside their 10 is much more valuable than scoring three more points and kicking off to a return guy who could break one to the 50.

Steelers have done this for 38 years.

Trust me, it works. Just ask Bill and his 93-1-1 when leading by 10 or more after the half. I know that stat is off a few games, but it makes its point.

The Redskins are absolutely pathetic. Show some pride and stop 'em. Atleast Cassell on that run for crying out loud.

Love the Patriots mentality. They basically used this game as a prep for next week. What a cut--throat football team. I say they beat the Colts by two TD's, Brady throws 3 or 4.

Cry me a river when a WR is crippled for life in a pre season game.

Boo hoo.

Boston fans have short memories.

And people call me a fanboy.

It's not prep for next week. It's Coach Hoodie being an asshole. Not that he hadn't already proven that even before this season started.
