Originally posted by Just Russ: I seem to have gotten under your skin Nag. Sorry. You are cracking me up with your examples of Gibbs, however. The first example shows 10 points scored in the second half and their backup QB in the game to close it out. The second example shows they were only up 25 po...

You seem to think they do it not to be bad sportsman. I say that's just you projecting your opinion. They...

Originally posted by Just Russ: Sorry Alex, I misread your intentions with this quote... "Btw, you are aware of the fact that not a single NFL coach that I know of in the last 20 years (and likely longer) has ever said that he made a concerted effort not to score because the game was out of reach or...
