Belichick is one class act! cough

We pretty much did the same thing in the home opener to preserve the shutout, didn't we?

**The_Philster** · 12-28-2003, 12:09 PM

We had Gilbride calling plays. He was gonna screw up anyway.

When a team has a chance to get a shutout, coaches often feel they owe it to the defensive players to give them the best opportunity to make it happen.

**casdhf** · 12-28-2003, 12:18 PM

I woulda done the same thing, how often to teams get a shutout, let alone against a team that shut them out earlier in the season

Spoken by a true master of the blatantly obvious!

**saviorbledsoe** · 12-28-2003, 12:22 PM

we didnt do that in the first game because it was coy wire who made the pass int that put it on the one and then he made the stop on a. smith to preserve the shut out.

+ how about the way the f#er had brady out there slinging it down field up 28 in the 3rd quarter on every down. he wanted to run up the score!

Besides, who cares?

Why wouldn't he want to ride into the playoffs on a shutout rather than "giving" the Bills a late score?

And as far as class goes, I'd MUCH rather have a "classless" coach that goes for the jugular like Billichick did yesterday than a "classy" guy like GW who bumbles away game after game.

I completely agree.

Okay. Who are you? And what have you done with LOG?

Mad-

You won't get your chance at retribution for a long time. The Patriots are going to rule the roost in the AFC East for years to come. They have two number ones and two number twos in the next draft. A QB that is playing extremely well, a top notch defense, good personnel evaluation, and the best coaching in the league.

It is depressing but true, I don't like it anymore than you do.

I was hoping nobody would bring that up. I wouldn't be worried about any of those other things, but the great coaching is what going to kill us. That's the main reason why they're so dominate in our division.

I'm worried we are going to bring in another *lame duck* coach. I don't think Haslett or Fassel are the answer and TD better not bring in another *friend* (Like Haslett). Otherwise KG might still have a job in Buffalo.

Sounds true, but.......at the begining of this season who woulda thought the Buc's wouldn't even make the playoffs this year ? They seemed like a shoe in to repeat as champs.

Predictions are well.. just predictions. They play the games for a reason. There are no more dynastys in pro football.

I can't believe he called a timeout to bring in his starting defense to maintain the shutout. I'm suprised nobody is making a big deal of this. That guy is a real jerk and I hope once we get our sh#$ together next year we remember this moment and take it out on him as his team. To end the season like this and that bastard has the nerve to twist the knife even more.

I thought I could never hate a team as much as I hate the Patriots now. I hope they get knocked out of the playoffs in their first game.

Larry Izzo made the INT to finish the game while starter Teddy Bruschi was on the sidelines.

I saw no issue with it.

We put in a Better player in Brown for the 4th, why can't they?
