You are gonna try to win this thing this year

68% is really good for the first 8 weeks.

No pressure.

Starmon finished at 64% last year
Revolution at 67% in 05.

You may not like it, but it's a foreseeable risk. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm not the first one to bring this up, the national media and experts have touched on the issue.

I completely understand what the Pats want to prove. All I'm saying is their methods could backfire. Suppose they're up big late, and in an attempt to try to score another 52 points, Brady blows out a knee on a scramble or Matt Light falls on him as he's trying to protect him in the pocket? The Pats aren't just rubbing it in, they're tempting fate. They better be careful.

uptownNY is right. If the Pats had tried this in the 70's with less quarterback-friendly rules, Brady might have been roughed up. Or the 80's for that matter. If you don't think a Ronnie Lott, Lawrence Taylor or Dexter Manley wouldn't have taken a shot under the same circumstances, think again.

I'm not shooting the messenger. I just think it's dumb. "Oh this guy's good so let's take him out". DUMB!!!!

"Carolina Panthers rookie Dwayne Jarrett was at his locker Wednesday answering questions about his frustrating season when teammate Steve Smith walked by and interrupted him.

"Instead of talking to the media, why don't you go watch some film," Smith said.

Jarrett broke into a half smile and started talking again.

"Seriously," Smith said, complete with his signature glare."

Damn.....Steve is pissed off. I really hope my Panthers can pull it together this year.

Steve has to realize he's dealing with a rook.

Why isn't he in the faces of Testaverde, Colbert and Drew Carter, well with the exception of the old man Vinny.

We've seen him explode on Carr , but this team is just having no luck due to injuries. I had Delhomme as a backup QB on my Fantasy team and had to ditch him.

Smith has always been a intense player, his mouth never quits.

I'm surprise his teammates haven't told him to bakthafukup and calm down.

In any event, USC rookies have developed a reputation for being diva-ish and expecting things to come to them. From Mike Williams to Leinart and Len Dale White to Jarrett.

If a fight is out of hand, the ref stops it. In some amateur baseball/softball leagues, a "mercy rule" is declared. Football and basketball have no such rules, but it is customary (not required) for a team sitting on a big lead to run out the clock, or put their bench players in, or simply hold the ball. This is not only a show of sportsmanship, but an attempt to avoid serious injuries to your team's premier players.

History shows that this happens in the NFL, primarily because it's not usually a good idea to show up pros, because you might pay. Believe me, there's some measure of payback rendered in every NFL game for some minor cheapshot or insult. Running up the score is one of the top reasons cheapshots are delivered. We had 2 in basketball last year, in Duke/North Carolina and a Knicks game.

The Colts I don't think would cheapshot a player if they're on the wrong end of a rout. They have a very classy squad. But the rest of the Pats' division is filled with rivals fielding bad teams. If the Pats try to run up the score on the Jets, Fish or Bills, or some other team out of the playoff hunt, look out. Brady better be off the field or he's got a bullseye on his back.

And that's as much the Pats' fault as anyone else's.
