Normally i wouldn't give two shits about what the patriots or any other AFC team was up to but my god, that team needs to tone it down. We get it, you're good, you don't need to act like ***** any more. Aren't their unwritten rules about running up the score in a game? Be good sportsman and don't try to humiliate other teams.
Trust me, people are going to celebrate their downfall.

I probably would complain because they would create a lot of enemies that way. They would either risk retaliation on the field or once the team went south, you would never hear the end of it.

This is professional football. There is nothing wrong with scoring touchdowns. The Patriots are just too good; they don't even have to try to score. If the other teams don't like them running up the score, then stop them and make some plays on defense. If you cant even do that, then the Patriots deserve to score on you. I don't see why everyone is mad at the Patriots running up scores. If they are really as good as they are, then they have to show that (and thats by scoring touchdowns).

1. We must not have watched the same game. The Patriots executed and the Bills did not. The Patriots offense moved the ball against the Bills defense. The Bills offense was stymied all night.
2. Both Al Michaels and John Madden played down the running up the score angle. The Patriots are good enough that their second team can beat a .500 team's first team.
3. Don't run up the score sounds more like little league than the NFL. As John Madden pointed out, that is the responsibility of the Bills' defense, not the Patriots offense.

Belicheck is such a pompus a**hole. I would love to see someone take out Brady and than have to watch a press conference where Belicheck has to defend having Brady in the game during another of their blowouts!!!
But it doesn't seem likely to happen.
I have no problem with the Pats overall ,they are an amazing team, but I cannot stand Belicheck.

Wow, all this whining is ridiculous. If you don't want the score run up on you then stop the other team from scoring. They pulled their starters at the end. Jeez, this is football people!!!!!!! Not patty cakes where everyone has to play nice. STOP WHINING!!!! They're laying waste to anything in their path so people can't bring up to tape scandals against them. They're saying they can win without cheating. This could turn out to be the best team in the history of the NFL and all you people do is whine.

I sort of agree, except... I'll bet you that you wouldn't complain if it was YOUR favorite team. I like to think otherwise, but odds are if it were the Lions (my favorite team), I probably could care less so long as my team won. Also, consider this: if they kept the score down to be "nice" and the other team came back and won, they would never hear the end of it.

Is kicking a FG any worse than going for it on 4th-1? The Pats ran their 2nd string FB right up the gut and the Bills couldn't stop them. Maybe teams shouldn't be down 5 TD's in the 3rd quarter.

What the Pat's are doing is to lessen the likelyhood of the NFL to go after the team for getting caught doing something illegal, which happened earlier in the season. The more they win and win big it was not due to tapping their opponent. They can win because they are mighty good. God bless 'em

That is a world of MEN, real MEN!
If you dont want to be humiliated in a fight then throw some punches and fight back. If you dont want to be humiliated in a football game then play some defense and score some touchdowns.
By the way what is the league limit for scoring points? i know they dont have one do they? Thats for babies!

Yeah I agree with you. The Pats are a fantastic team this year, but I dont like the way they play. First they start off the year cheating, and now they humiliate teams. Not to mention that Tom Brady left his pregnant girlfriend.
