Even Mike Ditka in 86 when the Bears were thumping the Cowboys 44-0, asked Ryan to "call off the dogs". Ditka had respect and professional decorum towards fellow coach Landry.

Again..you site a REGULAR season game. I gurantee you Ditka calls off no dogs in the playoffs.
And it is just common sense. Why take Brady out if there is any chance you will need to put him back in? If there is a chance that Denver is going to make a comeback, then you want Brady on the field.
Many NFL games are dependent on momentum...what kind of momentum would the Broncos had gotten had they seen Brady on the bench at the end of the first half? They would believe they would have chance? And what a let down on the Pats side? If BB had pulled Brady and the Broncos made a Buffalo Bills comeback...fans would be screaming for BB's head and justifiability so. Your point screams football ignorance.
The men on the field are professionals. They get paid to play. As many on this board have stated many times...if you don't want the other team to score, play some defense and stop them.
