**** Belicheck using exploits in real life to block a punt against the Giants....that's why everybody hates them!

I'm glad that I didn't watch. Ironic in that another way it's like MFN all the Giants play makers are injured much in the same way my guys were against Gustoon for the Parody Title.

But, yeah, all the Giants play makers are out and against Brady, Patriots ='d why bother watching. :)

Should have watched....Giants have nothing to he ashamed about in that game....21-14 in the 4th quarter and 7 points came off a punt block.

Future is bright for Giants

It is but holding out Barkley signaled they were punting the game, figuratively.

We'll double back next game and be strong.

I literally thought of all the MFN controversy as it was happening.

I would much prefer that the punt block exploit should be made public instead of being a jealously guarded secret held by just a few players. In my mind, this is just another exploit that I had to learn. I sympathize with some people who apparently have the misconception that the game should be fair, but that's not how the game is now. The game is still fun, but fair? Not even close. My experience is, anything goes.

I don't think you have to do anything. Now that it's *public knowledge*, people are free to block punts or defend against blocked punts to their hearts' contents.

I'll paint a quick scenario. You're in the Title Game and have been through 22 Game Plans, 22 Scouting Scenarios, 22 Game Preparations (Preseason - 3, Regular Season - 16, Playoffs - 3), not to account for the seasonal set-up at Preseason Game #1....that's a massive amount of time dedication. Game sims, we'll make it this league, middle of the night. You stay up. Your opponent is up as you see on the chat. Maybe they watch the game, maybe they don't but PING the immediate reaction post to the game's result.

They won because a punt block got you and it saved their hide. Your game plan was winning over their game plan but a punt block turned the tide and you lose the title.

That's not enough, they've green lit the board to tell you all about it.

Ima pretty much wanna fight them. Obviously, you can't. I'm a nice and civil person and I just want what's fair. Me? I know if I won like that - I'd quietly not say a word on the board and let it cool off.

You don't deserve to be cheated like that, but luck is part of the game. Rest assured that if the other guy is good enough to get to the championship game, he worked pretty hard too. You don't have a monopoly on elbow grease. I'm getting lucky, but I'm also working hard on getting lucky. Blocking punts is not as easy as, "put your fastest guy on the wing and let'er rip." If it were, then everybody would do it.

I agree that it is pretty jerky to post smack on the boards after you pull off a blocked punt, but part of the exploit is to make the most of it. However, by doing so, you are disrespecting the efforts of the victim. Just because you have a right to vent doesn't mean you are right to do so.

I suppose some things you just have to leave up to 'karma' and let it go.

If someone acts a certain way it'll come back to them in the game, eventually. BTW, I want to see you be successful. I have nothing against you. :)
