*AHOFLE WINS* NFL Last Man Standing Pick 'Em 2009

<< < (29/36) > >>

Flake:
I was only mentioning Brady because that is who you guys had mentioned earlier.  So take it in context, not out of it.  But to answer your question, I would have pulled my entire starting offense except for the line maybe, and then maybe some of them - especially with a lead like that.  Either way, the Pats can better sustain an injury to Moss or Welker than they can Brady.  As far as Fischers defense, you dont pull starters when your down.

Clearly the starters can't get it done - you're down 40 points.  It's time to try something else.

In the NFL you don't pull starters who are succeeding.  Manning never comes out.  Brees never comes out.  The Titans are lucky as the Pats could have put 100 on them but didn't.  The Pats are under no obligation to pull Brady when they do.  Defenders get paid too.  The NFL is not high school.

Flake:
I never said he had an obligation to pull them.  I just dont think it makes any sense to just pile it on by keeping your starters in there when the game is clearly over.  Especially in those weather conditions.  I think its part of Bellicheats smugness, that frankly, I hope backfires on him someday. 

And thats really all I was saying in the first place.  I know your a Buc fan but clearly, living so close to Foxboro, the Boston area love fest with Brady has finally rubbed off on you.

I find it more offensive that the Titans folded up in pregame warmups than the Patriots putting up 59 points.  They never even attempted to play a viable game in the snow.  The Cardinals did the same thing last year and I got to see it from the 8th row.  The Cardinals didn't even take pregame warmups and were down 44-0 because they didn't feel like playing in snow.  That's unprofessional and especially disappointing as a fan when you pay $400 to see a team that has no intention of competing.

So a locale being happy with their team is a love fest?  Is it a problem everywhere or just here?  I'm not so much a Brady fan as I am a fan of anyone who plays at a near perfect level.  Plus I clearly enjoy taunting people who irrationally hate the Patriots.   ;D  So many people seem to have forgotten that for 40 years the Pats were a punchline of a pro sports franchise.

Actually you are right on two points here. 

1.  I do irrationally hate the Patriots.  I admit it, not ashmased to say it.  Its probably due more to the media's portrayal of them over the last decade but nonetheless I still hate them. 

2.  The Brady love fest is nationwide not just local.  Apparently its spilled over into the officiating crews as well.  Did you see the personal foul roughing the passer flag for a DE's slap to Brady's face?  I almost spit out the diet pepsi I was drinking at the time all over the carpet.  Whats that now, two or three weeks of ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- flags called for "roughing" up the NFL's prince charming?  We certainly wouldnt want Brady to get actually tackled in an NFL game.

If Manning was better looking I wonder if the officials would circle around him after every snap so as to ensure he never even gets touched.
