Padding his stats? Does Belichick think that 38 points is not enough? How would you feel about it if he suffered an injury at this point in the game?

If Cassell can't protect a 38-0 lead, I'd hate to see him start a 0-0 game. Wow! Brady better stay healthy!

Going for the Touchdown record! Ooooooh yeah! Go Brady! But from a game standpoint, yeah it's risky. Then again look at their offensive line, that's about as safe as you get in the NFL.

Because it was HALFTIME! They were leading 38 to nothing at HALFTIME! He is a starting QB. Anyway... did you see what happened last week vs. the Dolphins? They took Brady out at the beginning of the 4th and Cassell through an interception for a touchdown on his 1st pass of the game. Some of you might say big deal, but after they had to endure that defeat last year in the AFC Championship game they are trying to make sure that doesn't happen anymore... and also I think we are playing a team you may of heard of this week... The Colts... ever heard of them... Superbowl champs, undefeated, one of the best teams of all time? No? Wow... just checking though. How is he padding stats when he's scored 5 TD's in the first half in one game... what is supposed to do, just not score... to make you feel better... but it wouldn't, because if he stopped trying you would say "Oh he's such an a5shole, he doesn't even think he needs to try." I mean... Cassel came into that game with 10 minutes remaining, that's SO much time considering it's regular season NFL game against one of the leagues top defenses for a backup to get. I mean... you wouldn't see a backup get that much time in a game in the 4th quarter unless the QB was hurt... but it's not, it's because he's playing so damn well. Oh and "iceman"... Peyton would be sat by then? So he'd been sat at the beginning of the fourth? How about we rewind to the year when he beat the TD record and wouldn't listen to Dungy about coming out on 4th down because he wanted to go for a TD and throws a pick... how about that? Talk about padding your stats. Brady has never been about that... just because he has weapons to work with and the score gets that out of control before the 4th quarter has nothing to do with him or Belicheck running up the score... they are just rediculously good.

It is pretty stupid on Belichick's part. Basically padding the stats and rubbing it in. People say there's no rule against it and the other team should stop them if they don't like it. Which is true to a point, but it does put your starters at an unnecessary risk. The Pat's fans giving the "cry me a river" defense will drastically change their view if Brady tears up a knee playing with the game won.

Why is Peyton Manning playing and PASSING with 4 minutes to go in a 42-14 game?
Week 10 - November 14, 2004
3-1-IND 41 (4:22) P.Manning pass incomplete to M.Harrison.
and a couple of minutes later here's some class for you:
-10-IND 30 (1:47) D.Carr pass intended for A.Johnson INTERCEPTED by V.Hutchins at IND 23. V.Hutchins for 77 yards, TOUCHDOWN. PENALTY on IND-V.Hutchins, Taunting, 15 yards, enforced between downs.

Belichick keeps playing because he wants to destoy every opponent he plays. He's got a mind set that they are going to play their hardest every play of every game. Which is typically a good thing, but to be honest, watching the end of the game, I was hoping that someone would hit Brady hard and knock him out of the game (and maybe the season).

He was in the game because Belichick is on a mission to humiliate and destroy every team that crosses his path this season.
And it seems as though he might actually be able to do it.
This weekend will be the test.

The same reason Manning stayed in all those blowouts the year he beat the TD record. Short memories again Patriot haters.

Romo and Manning would have been long gone.

I guess if he got hurt they would be asking for it however they only keep him in late in games with a big lead when there playing soft defenses ,,,,,,,THey wouldn't dare be able to do that against the Chiefs Defense~!~!
