Joe Gibbs has class - in the early 80's when the Redskins where kicking butts big time - more than once, Gibbs did a kneel-down or a punt to avoid running up the score on a defeated team. Class versus the classless.That might have been so in the early 1980s but in 2002, the NFL changed their tie-breaking rules which basically means that a team taking a knee when they have opportunity to score more points may be screwing themselves out of home field advantage in the playoffs later on down the road.
But the bottom line is that there is really no such thing as "running up the score" in pro football. This isn't Little League where the inning is over after 7 runs If an NFL team doesn't want to have the score run up on them, they ought to suck it up and make some blocks.

Hard to believe GB and Dallas were the cream of the crop in the NFC, the way the Giants have been able to play them this postseason...

What a great game! Eli got tired of being disrespected and GB can’t win the game without being winnie little babies.

Mara, long time no see. Happy New Year!
The Giants better quit giving up the big play though.
To: michigander
Nah, reply 706 is encroachment. Yeah. Encroachment on my tenuous mental well-being.

Well it’s not like they seriously whipped the Cowboys or are seriously whipping the Pack. The Cowboys beat the Giants on every single stat except the scoreboard. And this one is touch and go, the Pack were doing really well against the Giants offense, and the Giants special teams haven’t been that great (which is weird for them).
