I was definitely upset about it at first but eventually I felt like I agreed more with the sentiment that it's a game and if you don't want it to happen, you need to stop them. If they don't want to pull starters in the 4th, or settle for a field goal, that's their prerogative.

I think w/that much of a margin it's still not only classless, but flat out bad karma & risky. If Brady got hurt throwing on 4th down it would've looked pretty stupid on Belicheck's part. Getting beat like that makes some players frustrated to the point of fighting, late hits, etc. Guess hoody knew we couldn't get to him!
