With ticket prices where they are, and extremely limited opportunities for the fan....Hell with 'em. I pay good money to watch the best of my team, not to scale it back. Most decent folks aren't afforded the luxury of getting the chance at more than a game or two. Besides, they are professionals...stop us or pound sand.

Nobody said that when peyton "jughead" manning and the broncos dropped 52 points on phillys 20. All they said was they got the best team in football.

Bingo.

Maybe the guy who wrote this article is Mercury Morris undercover.

Good point bob.
Dude, so true.
WD, waht I meant is that it was not a big, huge, gigantic lead in which the Saints could have rested starters, relaxed, and let their guard down.
Like someone here said, MDophs still had some game in themselves.
They did not quit. Why should the Saints have quit.

The article by this <>>)( ^%$ man, and our posts makes a good separate thread really.
When should starters be pulled and shut down? Depends on point spread and what quarter.

Wow! .... just 'wow', ... saw that headline right off before even logging on, hadn't even read the article and I knew my blood pressure was gonna' be high this morning, . What a moron, is he really referring to 'karma' & Drew Brees getting hurt? SHAME ... and to think at a time in the early seventies I admired the Dolphins & their fans. No more. If they wanna' act like Falcon fans, they're gonna' get treated like Falcon fans. Bet.

Late to the thread and seeing much of my initial @#$%! already covered, Old Maid's observation on when do you pull the starters? immediately caught my attention. When do you pull 'em?

Who pulls their starting QB with an 18pt lead and 5 minutes left in the game? Not me. That's only 3 scores, bub ... ever see what some of these NFL teams do with 5 minutes left on the clock? If I had the time and the inclination, I'd research any number of NFL games to see exactly how many teams have pulled their starting QBs with an 18pt lead and 5 minutes left, except I already know from experience not many do, and even then, it's only for a snap-or-two. Comparing Saints/Dolphins to Broncos/Eagles is just nonsense ... Manning would have remained in that game at an 18pt lead with only 5 minutes left, for shizzle.

I watched the game, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary ... disgruntled Dolphin fan just got his dreams of another 1972 season crushed ... that's all, .

They say 'success is the best revenge' ... "mission accomplished" WhoDats, .

Playing to win the game and keeping your foot on the gas the whole time is not classless. Classless is spiking the ball, mocking the other team, kicking them in the nuts, and doing all sorts of tacky things...none of which we did. We just won, straight up no chaser.

In other words, the guy who wrote this? Screw him.

How can this punk talk about class and at the same time wish an injury to a player? What a POS.
