Apeforce

and he has Brady, Moss, and Welker on his fantasy team.

That’s the best reason that I can come up with for what happened in the 4th quarter of the game last weekend (Redskins at Patriots). 
For those of you that didn’t see, the Patriots had a 38-0 lead in the 4th quarter, and Washington hadn’t sniffed the end zone all game.  So, with ALL of the starters still playing and 1st-and-10 from their own 49, when they should just be running clock, Brady throws a 35-yard sideline route to Randy Moss!  Then when the Redskins finally get them to 4th-and-1, they go for it!  Then they THROW for another TD!

For Christ’s sake, the backups have been playing “garbage time” for many weeks.  (NE is the only team in the league that regularly has any garbage time).  If you put them in and they score then everyone cheers!

Instead we have this whole controversy about running up the score, and if Belichick is trying to make a statement about how good their team is.  TMQ sums up my feelings pretty well (scroll down to “This Week’s Anti-Belichick Item“)

Bullshit. 

He needed those fantasy points.  I’m sure he’s got a coach up in the box whose sole purpose is to keep him up-to-date on his live stats.  He needed another 20 points, so he keeps Brady out and calls plays to his boys.
That’s probably why he was trying to spy on the Jets in Week One.  He had started Thomas Jones and was trying to find out how many points he would go for…
