Oh, come on... used as a tiebreaker? The rest of the Pats’ division is a combined 3-17, and two of those wins were against each other (1-12 in non-division games). They’re going to clinch the division by week 11 or 12.
The only tiebreaker that could possibly matter to the Pats this year is the head-to-head matchup against the Colts, and that’s strictly on win/lose.
Anyone with any ideas as to why it is only the losers that whine about running up the score. I can’t seem to come up with anything - it’s dreary and rainy here in Baltimore and I’m not thinking clearly.
Although, clear thinking leads me to believe that my Ravens will not win against the Colts or the Pats. And I will not whine when Brady puts up 35+ points on the Ravens D, while the Ravens O generates 2 or 3 field goals. For the Colts, I just want Bart Scott to give Peyton the same treatment Roethlisburger got last year. As a QB, Peyton does not spend near enough time picking his teeth up off the ground.
And yes, it pi$$e$ me off to think that Johnny U will lose his place to Peyton as the Colts all time touchdown pass leader.
What if the Pats-Colts game ends in a tie? It does happen once in a while, it’s a possibility. But of course in the end it doesn’t matter, play better football. And some of this stuff is overblown anyway. In the Dallas game Dallas called a timeout in the final two, if they hadn’t done that time would have expired before the last play went off. In the Miami game the Phins were down 21 and at the exact same time the Texans were erasing a 29 point deficit, and lets not forget week 4 Chicago and Detroit, then there’s always Heidi. No lead is safe in the NFL, stack up the points until the gun.
