As in - having their second string quarterback (Hoyer- a rookie) play almost the entire second half?
As in , with their two top running backs (Taylor and Morris) out, having Ben- Jarvis Green-Ellis running up and down the field?
As in collecting 6 turnovers, and watchingTennessee fumble THE SNAP 3 times?
Tennessee couldn't even TRY to stop a backup quarterback and a 4th string running back, in a Nor'Easter blizzard?
Please- it isn't running up the score to continue playing in the SECOND QUARTER! - Dr. Mac

why is it everyone always complains about the Pats no one complains about the Giants or NEW ORLEANS WHEN THEY RUN UP THE SCORE.

I am not a Pats fan - but - as a Raiders and Lions fan - I think that if one team is just playing better then the other team, those are the breaks. They get paid to play football, if Tennessee's defense can't stop them then the score is going to be high and one sided (and trust me my teams are usually on the low ends of those sides) . It is a bummer when you are rooting for the losing team but there is always next week .

when you get over 40 some odd points and still have the starting QB in, who is returning after a season ending injury, that is just pure stupidity. I was honestly wishing he got hurt again and I am not sorry for saying so. Tom Brady and Billicheat are classless. They proved it time after time. This is just one of MANY examples.

The Titans also went 2/14 passing, for a TOTAL passing yardage for the day of -7 yards!! And you'd better not blame the conditions.
Perhaps the Patriots shouldn't have been such meanies,and should have helped them out a little there too?
Sorry, but when a team totally packs it in, on both offense and defense, and stops playing 20 mins into the game, (except for their heroic running back- did you know both teams had exactly the same rushing yards- 193 - which is pretty good), don't blame their opponents. - Dr. Mac

I wouldnt say that bill and brady are classless. any team in that position would have done yhe same thing

Like u said they have a qb which was out for a whole season and still has a slight shoulder injuery, and one before he left was one of the top qb's in thw game. Now he comes back after the injiry and isnt making passes like he iused to

Then comes out and throws 5 td passes in the snow, against a team that last ywar had a top defence.(imust say not playing with that same intensity as then).

You call it classless i call it highclass coaching to get your qb back with the confidence he left with.

just a lil note patten against tenn didnt throw that kind of game. And brady played them in the snow.

A little pre-emptive strike-
The Patriots were a very bad team for a very long time.
One remembers Ed Marinaro's quip (incidentally, Mr. Marinaro was a classmate of mine at college) when the Patriots drafted him that he might play for The Pats (or Patsies, as they were known) for awhile, then go on to play professional football later.
I have to say, it is a helluva lot more fun to be rooting for the team being accused of running up the score than to be rooting for the team that is whining about it! - Dr. Mac
