Perhaps Randall Gay should give back his pay check for not doing what he was paid to do and crushing the Colts.
I still say it's pretty gutless to say I need my ego stroked some more so I better heave up another 3 TD's and make sure we win by 42 rather than just winning with class and going with a solid win by 21/28 points.

So many things wrong with this. Don't you think it is alot eaiser on the defence when you are winning by 30 points vs 3 points?
The longer the offence can stay on the feild and eat away at the clock, it means the longer their defence can sit on the side lines and be rested for practice and another tough game next week.
Do they need to do it? No, but they are and it is fun to watch. Wondering if its going to be 11-0, 12-0, 13-0, ect. It brings a lot of attention to the game and I would say more people like watching vs the others who don't.
Why should Gay give back his paycheck? He won the game, he was saying that in response to some of the Bills players complaining about them "running up the score". They play professional football, either stop them or get off the feild. This isn't peewee football where we have to spare the feelings of 8 year olds, this is smash mouth, trash talk, american football.
