Would you send in a player in to intentionally hurt Tom Brady?

Behind the line of scrimmage, hit a QB like you would a kicker. They are put into a vulnerable position due to their role. So sack them, but don't maim them.

Ahead of the line of scrimmage, hit him like you would hit a running back.

I didn't like Joe Montana all that much, but I still can see that Giants lineman (Leonard Marshall) putting his helmet into the middle of Joe's back at full power. Joe came back eventually but that dirty hit ended his "legendary" days.

I know a lot of folks don't like Brady for one reason or another, but once you start hinting at personal injury as a punishment for a personal insult, you need to check yourself into the local psychiatry clinic.

Who's gonna get through that line?

I'd send some over-weight scrub off the end of the bench and give him a cheap shot after the play is over. Roll over his knees.

take a knee when up by 5-6 touchdowns

At that time of the game, taking a knee is insulting your opponent, and kicking a FG is running up the score.
If you are in a position on the field where a punt is not an option, you go for it and give the opposing D the opportunity to stop you.
Every, yes every, football coach, even the clueless Eric Mangini knows and understands this. Gibbs did not complain about what transpired, just some media folk who dislike Bill Belichick because he is not a warm fuzzy interview, and has snubbed many media members in the past.

Have you ever seen a game where anyone takes a knee with 11 minutes to go?

I haven't and I have been watching football for over 30 years.

On that particular play, they were damned if they do, damned if they don't.....they were in field goal range....kick a field goal, you're running up the score....go for it, you're running up the score.

I don't see kicking a field goal as running up the score... they were in field goal range on 4th down, just kick the ball and go about your business.

I don't think they should kneel 3 times and punt the entire 4th quarter, but to go for it on 4th down, just so you can try to score a touchdown is low class in my opinion.

If you where coaching against the Pats and Belichick had him in the game still throwing the ball trying to run up the score....

I would.

If that guy doesn't cross the street faster I am speeding up to hit him.

My last sentence makes as much sense as your "I would".

No, that's when you run the ball. Going down field when you're up buy 30 with ten minutes to go, is not a good idea. 1, you could throw a pick, 2, the clock doesn't keep running, 3, it's in poor taste.

Football coaches find kicking a FG in a game out of reach to be running up the score, because their team has no real opportunity to prevent those points, whereas when a team runs on 4th down, the defense has a chance to stop them. All coaches on the defensive side would prefer the offense go for it in that case, and a field goal would be considered a slap in the face.
That is the way it is in coaching circles. It amazes me that so many of the "experts" in the media and on ESPN are so clueless and up in arms still about this 3 weeks later.

Intentionally hurting a player reflects poorly on everything football. I don't care about arrogance, intentionally hurting someone should cost the player and his team major amount of money to be PAID TO the person that was hurt and his team. Of course, then ban the badass and the coach for the rest of the season, and remove the entire team from playing for 2 games. The opponents of the next two games would be automatic winners.

Intentionally hurting someone is a shitty thing to do.

I can kinda see that... and I also don't understand why scoring so much is such a big deal. Like I said before, I don't have a problem with them continuing to score, but I am willing to bet that leaving the starters in that long is going to come back and bite belichick in the ass...

josevolution

this is bullshit so because the pats are up by 20 they should put it in the bank you guys are on drugs ,anyone remember HOUSTON VS BILLS yeah how did that go ,people if your defense sucks and you can't stop the opponent that is too bad as much as i hate the pats and i do i would never wan't to see BRADY or for that matter anyother player get hurt. because some asshole decided that you have to take brady out to stop the pats, now i hope the pats go undefeated and fuck those redskins they sucked and couldn't stop any offense you people need to get re examined cluless assholes ........and i hate all boston teams ....

While I suggested this three weeks ago, it was in response to the ESPN sportscasters and Pats fans saying "do something about it". I said the same thing when Manning was doing this shit two-three years ago. If you are really pissed about the starters still being in do something about it. Bellytits has as much right to leave those players in and keep passing the football as we do to complain about it, but all you have to do is do something about it. Last week when Big Ben was still in the game Terrell Suggs powerslammed him about 5 minutes too late, and Mike Tomlin had visions of having to play that dude from Bowling Green.

I'm not sure if I'd really do it, but I'm pretty sure that it's not out of the realm of possibility for the Ravens to do this to the Patriots in a few weeks, because their D coach is Rex Ryan whose dad used to give money to the Bears and Eagles for taking out QB's. Part of me sure would love to see Tom Brady writhing in pain with his team up 45-0 (sick I know, but my hatred of the Pats grows each day), but another part of me would get sick of hearing 'woe is me' Patriots fans complaining that they are underdogs again.

How about someone does this first, then we can talk about the sportsmanship of it later .

Sounds like Buddy Ryan is/was my kind of guy

I am a big Redskins fan from my time in Virginia, and I had no problem with that game, or score. Stop them and there is nothing to bitch about.

Plus it came in handy for the Pats that they were used to playing 4 quarters vs Indy. Why the hell should they pull their players and not take advantage of gaining game time experience? It's not the Pats fault that other teams can't hang with them.

Well a field goal is less of a slap in the face.

Eagles Cowboys were fun games to watch back when he coached.
