Re: The Patriots are officially clowns
 

...which anyone who can think reasonably and objectively will have to disagree. The way our defense was playing, the time left on the clock, and with the amount we were up by... that was absolutely smart and logical decision. Now while on the other situations that were brought up, the Pats were classless... but this by no means, is equivalent to anything of that nature. I was thinking it was the beer talking yesterday... I guess not.

I hope we aren't put in position to break some NFL records by leaving Brees in with it pretty much being over. I mean we don't want to be mistaken for being classless clowns too.

So you are saying that clowns aren't capable of reasonable and objective thought?

That is a little offensive Papz.

Re: The Patriots are officially clowns
 

But what I dont understand is how are they the clowns instead of bill belichick being classless? i dont think they decide when they play or not play. if i was playing in the nfl,i would never want to leave.

I actually thought Bill Belichick was a pretty good sport at the end of the game. It appeared that he congratulated Coach Payton and Drew Brees. The question of pulling players in the 4th, yeah not sure what he was thinking. I did notice the camera shots of Brady he looked like Nicholson after the shock treatment in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I also think it's been a long time since Coach Belichick has been in a situation like Monday night. Personally not a big fan of his but I do respect him as a Coach and love the way he loathes the press.

Here's some irony for you - Belichek pulled his starters in our game with 6 minutes to go...not because they were losing so badly but "to prevent anyone from getting injured".

Why then, pray tell, are they all playing in a meaningless game against the Texans in which Wes Welkers blows out a knee and is lost for the playoffs?

Methinks Bill speaketh out of both sides of his mouth...
