The Patriots SHOULD have run up the score against the Redskins on October 28th.
This is football, not ice skating. The Patriots are as good as they are because they play 100% every time, every down. They are dominating right now. They don't take plays off, and they punish people.
If the Patriots start taking it easy, or going soft on teams, it could become a habit, or they could get a little too much of an ego and start playing at 99%. As good as they are, not many teams in the NFL can win at 99%, and The Patriots have the Colts coming up this week, they need every edge they can get. Maybe they were practicing new plays to use against the Colts. Maybe they were showing the Colts some new looks. Who cares why, they have a right too.
The Redskins do not get to ask the Patriots to tone it down. The Redskins have to get off the field on their own. This is football, this is America, you get up and off the field on your own, with the team you came with. Don't ask the other team for help, or mercy, or pity.
To the Redskins credit, they did not say anything ill too the Patriots, it was mostly the media.
I say, let em play.
