Can't believe I'm agreeing with Dr. Z

I also think BB's players will end up paying for it. I'm actually surprised the way he's going about it as well - it just doesn't make sense. For instance, he seems to be exposing Brady unnecessarily, and if he loses him, it'll be bad news.

For instance, what was with sending Brady on the sneak for the TD. An LB plugs that hole, leading with hishelmet and good night Irene.

I would think he'd be interested in the future a little more, and getting his 2nd string QB in there for some very important development.

Agree with Z. BB is playing with fire. What goes around comes around.

I agree with Butler and Ditka. If I was the DC and my squad was getting trounced for 38+, I'd send the house on a blitz and just crush the QB. If that wasn't clear enough, I'd start going after the receivers. Not to end their season or career, but to send a message.

There is no mercy rule, but there is karma.

I hope Brady will be telling a story similar to Len Dawson's.

Like I said in the Charles Martin thread, I predict the end of the AFC Championship game will get nasty. Especially if the Pats are winning...

Cowher: Brady could be target of cheap shot
Wednesday, Oct 31, 2007 4:13 pm EDT


As the New England Patriots pour it on opponents, fans have to be wondering about it and Tuesday former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher said it: If the Patriots keep running up the score, will someone like Tom Brady will be the victim of a retaliatory hit?

The subject of the Pats' late-game tactics is causing a lot of buzz around the NFL, particularly after Sunday's 52-7 victory over the Washington Redskins. On a CBS conference call with reporters Tuesday. Cowher noted the Patriots could be playing a dangerous game.

"At some point if this continues, someone's going to take a cheap shot,'' Cowher said. "Is that worth subjecting your players to if it comes to that?''
