The days of "running up the score" are over for this season. Belicheck did what he set out to do in the NFL this year. He fielded an exceptional team and most importantly he raised the level of play in the NFL. You have to admit that the Pats' opponents aren't bringing the sorry arsed style of play now that they were bringing earlier. They're playing all out, partially because the games actually mean something now (the sorry part is they didn't then) and partially because they don't want to get their noses rubbed in it. BB coached them all into playing with pride.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
