On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them.
But when the shoe’s on the other foot, and Bill Belichick’s team has been beaten, he can’t sit there and take the pain for a few seconds.
Belichick showed how much class and sportsmanship he has yesterday when he walked off the field before the game was over. It was typical of how arrogant he’s been all season and throughout his career. Pat’s fans, this is why everyone was against and don’t like the Patriots.
Was anyone else hoping Coughlin would kick a field goal when the Giants got the ball back with :01 left? I knew he wouldn’t, but it would have been great to see after the running up that Belichick did all season. I’d probably 75-25 odds that good ol’ Bill would have done it.
As funny as that is to think about, you obviously don’t risk doing that when the other team could block it, you could fumble it, etc.
A fake kneel down with another pass to Burress, though… that’s a different story altogether!
Yeah, it would be stupid to do to risk it, but boy would I have loved to have seen it. =)
