WTF just happened?

WTF just happened?

The pats suck.   Get used to it, they did the same thing to Miami.  Except everyone said how horrible the defense is, instead of how great Peyton is. 

[NADS]

Blame Belichick.

[NADS]

Oh yeah, and Manning.

[StL FinFan]

Belichick is an arrogant idiot and it blew up in his face.

How?  You think those extra 40 punt yards would stop manning?  If the pats convert the 2 yards, the game is 100% over.  The probably have ~75% to convert the play, and backing manning up 40 yards probably only stops him from scoring 10% of the time.  So do the math.

Sorry, what book has the % of peyton manning scoring against a tired new england defense from their own 30 yard line vs. NE 30 yard line.  Sorry your hatred for belichik has made you a dumb results oriented fan.

[StL FinFan]

^ ooh, he called me dumb

goodnight troll

LOL

That quote made me laugh

[Spider-Dan]

I agreed with the decision.  You have a chance to seal the game with your all-pro magic wonder boy glamour model QB.  Your defense wasn't going to hold on your 30 or their 30; Manning was basically shredding them at will.  If your defense is going to hold, let them hold on your 30.

[Thundergod]

Manning rocks.

[Denver_Bronco]

You have got to punt the ball there.  If you don't think you can stop them you still punt the ball...... Hopefully someone coughs the ball up or Manning makes a mistake and throws a pick.

[SportsChick]

You have to punt, but it showed how little faith he had in the defense which wasn't able to stop Manning in the 4th quarter. But I was screaming at the TV wondering if someone slipped him some crack during half time or something, This wasn't 4th and inches, it was 4th and 2, a long 2.

As for if it would have stopped Manning if they made it, good chance it would have. Keep in mind that would have been a first down with them still driving down the field. They only needed a field goal to get it out of reach.

[Dave Gray]

I don't think it was a terrible call by Bellichek.  He's always put his players in a position to win, and he thought that the odds were better that they get 2 yards than to have to stop the Colts from driving.  He's made his name by doing this and it's worked out.

Had he converted, everyone would be singing his praises today.

I think Bellichek is an asshole, but he's a great coach and one that goes for the jugular.  I respect that.
