SoFlaJets Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 How do you guys feel about it when a team does that to an opponent? Weren't we taught as kids to always try and show good sportsmanship and that it was an important principle while playing sports? How do you guys feel on this subject and would you like to see the Jets play that way-every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 On principle, I hate it. But then you see what the Eagles did to the Giants and almost did again to the Packers and you can understand why teams do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you guys feel on this subject and would you like to see the Jets play that way-every week? Its a nice question to ask, but given that we have a hard enough time scoring at all... I'm not sure I can even envision a scenario where we are deciding whether or not to run it up weekly. I mean, we absolutely dominated the game vs. the Colts... but you would never know it by the scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxoboxo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think the "don't run up the score" principle applies to youth sports. Certainly not professional sports. If the guy across from you is collecting a paycheck, you have every right to run it up as much as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! What people seem to miss is that the NEP starting running up the score in response to the loss of the 2006 AFCCG in which the Colts came back from an 18 point deficit. You play for 60 minutes or you lose. If the losing team decides to pull its starters and just run out the clock, then the winning team ought do the same. But if the losing team still has its starting QB throwing the ball and trying to score, the winning team should as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Score until the clock stops. If you have a buffer and want to pull injured players, fine. But don't pull your starters for 'sportsmanship'. If you're the coach and that team catches you and beats you, nobody's going to care that you were a nice guy.

SayNoToDMC Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I usually take the over so I'm all for it I'm all for what NE did. We talked a big game all week and then didn't bother showing up for the actual game. Hopefully us sh*ting the bed that game pays off this week.

Kleckineau Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Heres the thing. The Giants Eagles game is a poor excuse as the lead was not yet insurmountable. There are insurmountable leads. To pad this type lead is inexcuseable. Example would be up by 28, 2-3 min left and you are calling pass plays in the red zone instead of run plays. NEP are known for doing this. Thats why they suck. Its like a boxer who punches an opponent when they are on a knee and still falling. Its called respect for your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it doesn't really have any long lasting effects at the professional level. Losing 45-3 can break the heart of a kid (or, a fan). But to a professional athlete, it's not a big deal. It's a day in a life. You write it off and move on. The fans take it much harder than the players. It's really not a big deal. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

It is one turnover and 3 onside kicks. Extremely unlikely, but not impossible. Once the losing team pulls its starting QB and only calls running plays to run out the clock, the winning team should reciprocate.

Or you take it, file it and remember it cause somewhere down the road you will meet again. I think every man on that roster will remember the a$$ whipping they got and remember how intense the Pats came out and know that they are going to take their intensity to another level. I think Keller will remember the clothesline he took I think the Jets will remember Willfolk ripping off Sanchez' belt and whipping it to the ground. I'm sure they will remember Bellichick gathering the team together telling them not to let up. And I am sure a certain RB will remember a bunch of Pats stomping on the lightning bolt in the middle of the field after a playoff game. The Pats may take every little percieved slight and turn it into a motivational tool. The Jets will have more than their share of slights that they will be able use as well. This is going to be fun.

Stonehands Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The more commited the players are to the sport, the less concerned I am about running up the score. Little league, don't run it up. High school, let's show some sportsmanship at some point. College, call off the dogs when it gets embarrassing. Pros, all bets are off for the most part.

Once a game is in hand, there are things coaches want to work on, and messages they want to send to their team. Are we scumbags for running it up against the Bills this season...twice? No. Both those games gave us the opportunity to work on things that helped us in the following games. If you have a weaker opponent, they are still a professional opponent. You impose yout will on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right. But history shows that the "revenge factor" is pretty much non-existant in professional sports. If a team clobbers another team once, they usually do it again in the same season. Usually, because the "clobberer" is much more talented than the "clobberee". In this case, I don't think it's a big deal, because I think the Jets know that, overall, they have just as much talent as the Patriots. With the big exception being at the QB position. Sunday's game comes down to Sanchez playing well. Not great, not spectacular...just a good solid game. The rest of the Jets will take care of themselves.

Kleckineau Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 NYJ sandbagged NEP in the Monday night game. They did this to instill false confidence knowing full well they would meet again in the playoffs. Now the NYJ will steamroll those overconfident NEP motherfcukers.☺ If Woodhead plays he will be splintered. The NYJ however will show sportsmanship and will put Mark Brunell and Joe McKnight in when the lead is at 41 points with 2 minutes left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Rex has the decency to tell the world he is an a$$hole. Belly tries to hide it, lol. If the game was "over" when NE went up by 42, why was Sanchez running the no huddle hurry up offense and going for it on fourth down? IF the Jets had sent out Brunell and ran the ball to eat up the clock, and then in response Brady was throwing balls down field to increase the lead, I would agree that is disrespectful. But as long as the Jets are still trying to win the game, the Patriots have an obligation to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But late second TDs when you could kneel on it, well, nevermind. Please explain the Flutie extra point to me?

I don't recall a single game where NE could run out the clock by kneeling three times in which they went for the TD. Up by a lot and extending the lead, yes. But not where the other team could not stop the clock and NE could simply run out the clock. Please explain the Flutie extra point to me? I think the place holder and kicker had just come down with a 12 minute flu and were unavailable. Lucky Flutie was around. That was hardly "running up the score." New England lost that game.

madmikeisback Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We don't need the fact that they ran up the score the last game to despise that fraudulent franchise. They have been cheating our team out of wins and success for the last decade with their illegitimate success that is all the result of unfair advantages and flat out fraud. They make the NFL into a joke every time they win a game. The fact that they would display a lack of class by running up the score after they stole another game from a clean franchise by cheating like they have been doing for 10 years shouldn't really be a shock to anyone. That is the kind of scum we're dealing with here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with them running up the score. You either stop them or you don't. The Patriots were found by the league to be cheaters. I am not going to go back and look up stats, to show particular games. I will say I don't remember them even plowing in with 10 seconds to go up big or anything like that. More of a general thing, they seem to have a tendency to run up the score. Like I said though, that isn't a big thing stop them if you don't like it. If not, don't complain about it. I just think that as good as a coach as Belichick is, he is a classless piece of scum. My original point alluded to this, Rex wears it all on his sleeve. You know who he is. Belly just sends hush money via Fed Ex. Plus Belly doesn't have a foot fetish and that's just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you guys feel on this subject and would you like to see the Jets play that way-every week? On principle, no you don't do that. But if there is one team out there that deserves that its the Pats. I for one would love pay back this coming sunday starting at 4:30 and ending at 7:30 sunday night. I can actually see Rex revving up the humilation card and running up the score card and no respect card. Yes, I can see us doing to the Pats what they did to us. In fact I am hoping for that.
