To say that the Pats have no class, looked unprofessional or they were babies is questionable. Every single Pats interview clearly said, "We didn't get it done today and the Giants played better in every aspect of the game." What,is everyone expecting Belichick to be smiling and doing cartwheels giving an interview? C'mon, the guy barely cracks a smile when they win! I haven't heard any whining or finger-pointing like what went on in virtually every opponent locker room after the Pats beat them. They ARE a very classy organization that gives credit where credit is due and don't typically make excuses.
Yes, coach and some players left with :01 to go. Were they aware of the clock? Who knows. Does it really matter? The coaches shook hands at the 50 and it was over. Not as big a deal as some are making it out to be. It boils down to people can't stand someone that is successful. We'd rather see an accomplished winner fall than anything else. Pretty warped if you ask me.
18-1 is still one more win than the perfect 72 Dolphins. They broke almost every record there is this year. Without a doubt, this was an incredible year for the Pats and I would take this exact same line up again next year without a single change (except for Ellis Hobbs). |
Ben,
I understand what you are saying and I won't argue too much, lol! My perspective is a little different than most on here bashing. I'm not a football guy. Basically if the Steelers aren't playing, I don't really watch. I also don't watch every Steeler game. I watch enough to sound OK around the water cooler. So, I have no idea how Belichick racts all the time. I can say that still don't agree with with how he and some of his team closed the game. This is a huge national stage and I think he should have been a bit more professional. How, I'm not sure. But for a "Non_Football Fan" it looked poor. You can not take away what they did accomplish. They did bring some on themselves with the whole video tape thing. Just my 2 cents.
Later,
