What are your thoughts on this?

This was poor sportmanship. One does not run the score like this when you are a clear winner. This was shameful.

He clearly lacks good common sense and leadership skills.

His inability to anticipate the consequences of his choices for this team proves his inability to remain in this position.

Short of trying not to score whats the alternative ?

I mean how do you play a game and stop trying ?

What would they do, pretend to try ?

Play out the 24 second clock.

Play the 3rd-stringers and bench warmers.

Thats not an assault on the other teams pride ?

I mean the Detroit Lions lost 16 games this year but I dont feel sorry for them. I saw a few of those games and they fought through the whole thing. They never stopped trying.
