does tom brady have his own rules?

Belichick simply makes me sick sometimes.

Why did he take his starters out? This is a coach that is known to keep his starters in the game, throw deep when they are winning 59-0 late in the 4th quarter.

Now, when he is obviously getting his ass handed to him and embarassed and humiliated on national TV, he just quits!?!?!? :frusty:

I remember the 2007 season when he unnecessarily ran up the score in several games when the outcome was well decided.

Seems to me a lot of team remember that. And now that favor will be returned upon him several times over.

Yeah it is pretty ironic that he doesn't hesitate to keep the peddle down when the game is in his favor, but he basically throws in the towel last night when he was the one getting spanked.

I hope the rest of the NFL takes notice. If you are beating the Patriots....keep the hammer down...embarass and humilitate them just like they did everyone else.....

I know this is a Brady thread, but let me say I was absolutely impressed with the Saints last night. Yeah, they beat the Pats and that was no shock considering how well the Saint have played this year. But it was how they beat the Pats and the intensity they exhibited from start to finish.

The Pats receivers had alligator arms (see Daren Sharper and Jonathan Vilma) on a few receptions, Brady took some good licks, and it was overall a hard hitting game. They didn't have a let down, which would have been completely understandable considering they were playing the Pats and the Saints were undefeated.

The Saints were the better team last night and they knew it.

In keeping with the thread's title, yes, Tom Brady is the Lebron James of football. If the chains aren't moving for the Pats, the refs somehow aren't doing their job and Brady and Belichick will let them know.

What's sad is an inferior team has to play their A game when they face the Pats because they're not going to get many calls to go in their favor.

Yep, great game by the Saints last night. I was never a big Sean Payton fan, but I think I'm a fan now. Great playcalling last night...and execution.

Did anyone see that Gregg Williams D was leading the NFL in takeaways? Wasn't that what fans got on him for in DC? I guess it is the guys that play on the field afterall.

You can take more chances and play a more agressive defense when your offense is virtually unstoppable. That, and the players in NO are pretty good too.

Yeah thats friggin ironic. Oncea again former NFC East coaches making history once the chains are off.

Sean Payton was the offensive coordinator for the Tuna in Dallas.
Greg Williams was the Defensive coordinator in Washington.

Both should have been promoted to head coach instead of letting them walk.

Seems to me a lot of team remember that. And now that favor will be returned upon him several times over.One of those games he ran up the score in '07 was against the Skins, when he still had Brady throwing bombs to Moss with a 38-0 lead in the 4th quarter. If the Skins are ever in the position the Saints were in vs. Belicheat last night, I hope we keep our foot on the throttle, and step on their throats.

After enjoying the Saints thoroughly undressing Brady/Belicheat on national TV, I believe they may be my surrogate team this postseason, but of course, I'm rooting for the Skins to beat them on Sunday.

BTW, Drew Brees has been notoriously poor against the Skins. In 3 career starts (1-2), he has a 1-6 TD/INT ratio, and his best yardage game of the three was 216 yards last year, which was his worst yardage game in 2008. The Skins may not win, but I wouldn't pick the Saints to cover 17 points, which just might be the spread for Sunday.

I can't understand why people hate on Brady. Yeah the crying against Baltimore was a bitch move but so what? If he was a Redskin everyone here would be on the guy's jock. I don't think he has his own rules. He got knocked around pretty good last night. But face it, when Brady is on the field it's great for the NFL. I mean look at all the hoopla all week long...Brady vs. Bress, the way the game was being marketed you'd think Brady and Bress were going to box.

It's the NFL. Too freakin bad. It's not NE's job to stop playing offense just cause we can't stop them. I remember this game very well and everyone around here was up in arms. I don't understand why. I use this as an example..I think it was Gibbs' last year in 92 and we beat the shit out of the Cardinals. The game was over and Gibbs put in Cary Conklin and threw the ball to Monk for a TD very late in the 4th q. Remember who the coach was for the Cardinbals? Joe Bugel. In other words Gibbs ran it up on one of his own guys.
