52-7 the Patriots over Washington.
Talk about Capitol Punishment!!
Redskins linebacker Randall Godfrey complained that the Patriots purposely piled up the points. Godfrey says he told Patriots coach Bill Belichick that it showed a "lack of respect for the game."
Memo to Godfrey.
STOP!!
This is the NFL. This is the ultimate in professional sports. If you are that concerned with feelings and playing nice...enroll in an etiquette class. And Randall, just like some Pee Wee leagues, we'll make sure you get a trophy just for participating.
The best way to end a whippin' is to stop a whippin'. Godfrey should talk to his teammates about a "lack of respect" for ALLOWING the Patriots to roll it up. Mike Ditka says it so well, "don't get mad, get EVEN!"
Last I checked, "strength of victory" and points and tiebreakers in the NFL. Just the week before, the Patriots took pedal off medal with a 42-7 lead. Miami cut it to 49-28.
Belichick has a massive boulder on his shoulder after the fallout from "spygate". He is making the rest of the NFL pay for it. And why shouldn't he? The critics can say all they want. As long as the Patriots are undefeated, do you think Belichick cares?
The true laugher in all of this...Godfrey says he hopes to see the Patriots again. After winning 52-7, I'm sure the Patriots would like the same.
