NE is up 31-7 with 8:30 to go in the 4th.

They have been in a 5 wide set every play this drive, and they went for it on 4th down.

Why would they do this?

They must feel thats the best way to attack the vikings defense. There's too much time left to get too conservative, vikings are knocking on the door right now.

Tom Brady makes the Qb position look easy

They said he has the same QB coach since he was a young kid... always working on getting more and more accurate

The Pats played like they have their mojo back tonight.

And they let his best receiver go. He does it with a bunch of nobody's.

Amazing how good the guy is.

Belichick is a prick, that's why. I was saying the same thing during the game. He should have had the backup QB in and running the ball to kill the clock.

Belichick never ceases to amaze, though. That fumble, woops, I mean incomplete pass that he whined about was total BS too.

They have gotten a number of good breaks over the years, they are the embodiment at times of the old saying "I'd rather be lucky than good."

They still play well, don't get me wrong. They don't need any extra help though, haha.

Running 5 wides and going for it on 4th with this type of lead only means one thing.......you are trying to run the score up.

I hope the Colts lay 50 on them next week:laugh2:

Running up the score like that is tasteless and awful karma. Tom Brady will get in to a car accident next week on the way to the game.

No need to wish something horrible like that on someone, that's totally tasteless on your behalf. You play the game until the whistle blows!

I don't know about the karma part but running up the score in a NFL game is tasteless. This is not College Football you get no style points.

I've never understood this sentiment. As long as you're out there on the field, you should try to score. That's the point of the game. Perhaps you do it without starters, but that's only to protect your own team, not to keep the other team from getting embarrassed. There's nothing tasteful in laying down.

Pats weren't going to run out the clock by running against Minnesota. They were protecting their lead, as they should have been.

I didn't wish Tom Brady would get in to a car accident. I'm merely fortelling the future. Brady is one of my favorite players. Unfortunately, not even he can escape Bellicik's bad karma.
