Oh God no. This team rivals some of the old Raider teams in the complete lack of class department. Cheating, running up scores. They're garbage.

Who cares. It is football, if you don't like them scoring so much then stop them. I don't like the patriots but oh well.
The only good thing about Brady staying in all game, is that somewhere down the road, a player is going to get tired of it and take a cheap shot at Brady, which will be Belichicks fault for keeping him in. I would be cautious of playing Brady late in the 4th with a big lead against Baltimore, Ray Ray might lay the smack down. But seriously, I can honestly see someone taking a cheap shot at his legs if they are scoring in the 4th while winning by 28 or more. Not that I am for it, but it could happen. Throw in a back up who doesn't play and just lay him out. If i got tired of it, thats what I would do. Then their season goes down the drain.

Yes. People say that they run up the score. Boo hoo. This is the NFL not pee wee football. If a team cant hang, that's their fault. The Patriots are classy because they dont play dirty. They win their games simply by playing better football than the other team. They dont try to get away with everything they possibly can to win. They play straight hard nosed football and have the skills to win.

after reading the answers before mine and i have heard the commentary on ESPN and i can understand both sides saying yes and no to them be classy. Now i can understand if you cant stop a team from driving down the field you have no room to talk, but the redskins stop them twice on 3rd down and the pats were up by at least 28 points and both times instead of doing the "classy" thing of kicking a field goal and getting off the field they go for it and that is just......i am not going to say unfair, more like unnecessary. It's like your playing madden with your best friend and you really want to kick his a*s*s because he drank the last dr. pepper or coach bill is playing in 2,000 dollar fantasy football league and he is down and needs fantasy points from Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Pats Defense

i have read all the posts and can see both sides. what tips it over to one side is the way they have gone about things this year. 1. running up the score. Playing football hard I do not have a problem with but they clearly ran it up on washington. its not like college where turning in a huge performance vs. poor team actually helps your ranking. leaving brady in that long up by 42 was stupid, arogant and classless. cheating and getting caught was classless. this question will probably be answered the next time NE plays the Jets...they will beat them to a pulp! i will lay 28 pts in that one!!!

Don't blame an NFL team for running up the score, this isn't college, these guys are getting paid to play, so blame the Redskins for being sorry.
Classy?? Well I guess they're as classy as the next team.
Remember, all teams were warned against taping signals, which means all teams were doing it, the Patroits just didn't stop doing it like everybody else did.
And I'm not a Patroits fan, I actually don't really like them, but I have to give credit where it is due.

Total classless. They are without equals. The NFC threw their best at the Patriots and both teams got "E-nnihilated" (thank you Muhammed Ali). Ergo, without class. Peerless. Heads and shoulders above the rest.
Pass around tissues to all the town-cryers who need the wambulance crying about spygate and now running up the score!
Pick your friggin poison you worthless farts. How dare you call yourselves football fans? Rams were called the Greatest Show on Turf. Colts are class and "good" according to that fartbag Greg Easterbrook. But suddenly the Pats are classless and evil? Whatever. Double standard losers all abound.

cowboys fan. and heck yeah they are. the spy-cam thing is way over blown as all teams try stuff like that. doesnt make it right but they do.
back in the day, landry and the cowboys used to rent out all the hotel rooms surrounding their practice field to keep the skins coach from spying their practices.
and they don't run the score up. they put their backups in. what would you have the pats do? take a knee midway through the 3rd? if the other teams don't like the score, i would suggest they make a tackle every now and then.
i think ol' bellicheck is cool! standing there in his ugly *** hoody kinda flipin' off the league and the establishment. all he's saying is stop us if you don't like us. it means a lot to him and they are a first rate organization.
anyone who doesnt admire, or, at the very least, respect the patriots organiztion is either jealous or a fool.

No, thats the one thing I really don't like about them.
They don't have any respect for other teams and when they loose Belichick is a pretty bad sport about it. He's an incredible coach but he needs to take lessons on how to behave from Tony Dungy.

Yes, but they are a arrogant classy team. They accept the challenge of being the best team in the NFL this season (so far), and are daring any team to knock their block off.
Sort of like them saying... "If you want to play football against the New England Patriots... This is the kind of football your going to get..." "Y'all come back now, hear?"
