what a fucking horror show and a horrible way to cap my 38th birthday! The only silver lining is that if there is a rematch, I am confident that we can beat the Colts in Indy. Had Maroney not been a fuck up and scored that touchdown on the one yard line, this wouldn't be an issue. Granted, our defense is suspect, but as is the Colts and I honestly feel our offense is better. Rematch!!!!

you are right...the colts beat you with an offense featuring a guy named Austin Collie as their number 2 wideout. this is why the pats are good not great. also: see my post in this thread after the ravens game when i said that the pats going 3 and out (in this case 4 and out) with the game on the line just doesn't happen, and that it would come back and bite them in the ass later. Finally when are you going to give up on that stupid 3-6 yard out pattern in key situations? It worked for 12 games in 2007 but Brady they're onto you.

because of moss, if they played tigh zone coverage down low, moss would go apeshit.. kinda like he did yesterday.
I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town
it was the right call. the chances of the Colts driving down the field with that much time was pretty high. or you can just get two yards, and game over.
because of moronic prevent defenses in this league, its pretty easy to go down the field in the closing minutes. its in the red zone that it becomes hard to score.

in that situation, you always punt. no if ands or buts. you punt. just punt. all you gotta do. give yourself a chance to win.

I see an interception in there..in fact, I think Manning threw two of them in the second half. The Colts punted 7 times, which is 7 times more than they usually punt in a game ....everyone knows Belichick had a major brainfart, including his own players..Tedy Bruschi, the ultimate Patriot, even said so....any other coach not named Belichick would have been fired today..

I hope you're not insinuating that was Belichick or the other guy on the Pat's staff's fault.
It's obvious the cord for that photog was taut and he did it to himself.
I'm not insinuating anything, just thought it was funny...I think the league is investigating the incident..

No other coach would have the balls to do it. I give Belicheck credit for the call. Since it didn't work, it's looks like a bushleague Madden video game call. But if it did work, it would have been game over and a great call.

It was a desperate decision..why not run the ball on 3rd down and 2 if you're going to go for it on 4th down anyway?..I don't think it was planned..they failed on 3rd down and on 4th down....and it still would have been considered a horrible call even if it had worked out....Rodney Harrison said 'it was the worst decision in his coaching career.' Dungy nailed it on the head post-game too....4th and 2 on your own 28 yard line? Video game call for sure..but anyway, the Pats will be fine..

thought that was interesting. i know its a bit silly, but the percentages back him up IMO.
the Pats defense just gave up well over 400 yards, much of it in the fourth quarter. no reason to trust your defense stops them at the end either. too much time. i'm almost positive Manning goes down the field and wins that game anyway if Patriots punt.
it was a radical call, and one others wouldn't have the balls to make, but it was the right one.
my only problem was the coaching up to that point. calling the timeout just before might have been a mistake too.

...
To me... the biggest surprize... they snapped the ball.
I figured it was going to be the typical, run of the mill 4th and short towards the end of the game situation with the usual, predictable results. Line-up... hard count to try to draw the defense offside... run out the play clock... delay of game, 5 yards... punt.
Then, they ran a play... that would have worked had Maroney not bobbled the ball.
Had the spot been past the first down marker... Belichick would be hailed today as a genius.

Hmm, the percentages? 4th and 2 on your own 28=punt, every single time ..

think of it this way:
1: the chances of Brady picking up two yards is VERY HIGH.
2: the chances of Manning driving from his own 35 or 40 AREN'T MUCH LESS than scoring from the Pats 30 in the same amount of time. he just did it twice before. its in the red zone that it gets difficult.
Belicheck correctly realized that punting didn't give the Pats as much of a chance to win as going for it.

i hate them anyway, so i lol'd.
I understand, but I don't think it was a calculated decision at all..if he planned on going for it on 4th down, he would have ran the ball on 3rd down, especially against the weak Colt D, don't you think?...I share the majority thought that the 4th down horrendous call was a panicked and desperate decision made out of fear..he let the human element take over, which is why he is receiving so much flack...It's considered a horrible play by most analyst, coaches and players..

hmm. i dont thik he was panicked or maybe he just didn't decide to go for it until 4th down. he should have ran it though. i hate it when teams throw on 3rd down when they need 1 or 2 yards anyway. i think they could have made it if they ran.
it doesnt matter anyway. i think the Colts had figured them out.

And the tuck rule was called earlier in that same season Jets vs. Pats.
Talk about having no confidence in your defense though.
Sparano wouldn't shit on his defense like that.

Nothing beats seeing the Pats get hosed because they usually get the calls....but had the first by like 2 yards.

I will add they got hosed on the previous Indy TD drive with the pass interference call.
Well whatever dude, they had it.
Hey I'm a Dolphins fan so I Ioved it. But they got ripped off.
