Just owned himself.

Fucking mental meltdown

magnus · #3 11-15-09, 11:42 PM

I've never seen a coach that good fuck himself so badly or quickly.

Is there ever a situation where going for it at your own 30 in a one score game makes any sense?

Piper · #4 11-15-09, 11:46 PM

I get that Manning has been clutch lately. But their D has done as good of job as anyone had all game. Then you put them in that position? You just told them you have zero faith in them in a big spot.

Black&Blue · #5 11-15-09, 11:48 PM

Fuck it. He was trying to win the game. People are still crushing Tom Coughlin's nuts after settling for a FG last week, and turning it over to his defense.

In Gillette Stadium that 4th down play would have been spotted on the 30 . .. first down pats. BUT they didn't receive the BJ from the refs this time

Was stupid of belichick to go for it, and very unlike him to blow a couple of timeouts too

hate the pats . .. loved watching that

Watching his postgame interview is really fucking awkward

You win the game by playing the percentages and believing in your entire team. Including your D that had already picked Manning twice.

fair enough, but if Fox did that people would be apeshit.

To boot, they had the ball with 4:10 to go, passed on that 3rd down instead of running, got the same FG they would've gotten at 3:30, then squandered timeouts for no reason.

PantherPaul · #10 11-16-09, 12:17 AM

Guess they didn't have good enough film of the Colts

RobAC65 · #11 11-16-09, 12:47 AM

If your going to go for it in a situation like that.. why not just run the ball on 3rd down?

I understand the percentages. In this case, I just think it's refreshing to see a coach show some balls and go for the win. They get that yard, and Belichick is Coach of the Year in the media's eyes. That's just the way it works. Now, blowing two timeouts for no reason was fucking stupid, but I still admire the decision to try and end the game right there. If you're playing against Jamarcus Russell, of course you punt. But when Peyton Manning needs six points to win, against a prevent defense, he's probably going to get it regardless of where he starts the drive.

A coach showing the size of his balls isn't the purpose of playing a football game. Winning is the reason for the season. Going for it in that situation is just plain stupid. Punt the damn ball and you probably win the game. Belichick is blessed with having the best QB in the NFL. Let me know when he wins a Super Bowl without Brady taking the snaps.

Not gonna argue that Brady has been the best in recent years or arguably the best in most of the recent years, but I'd take Manning or Brees this year. That said, I thought it was a stupid call. In Colts territory to maybe get another set of downs and a score? Maybe. Their own 30? Insane.

Do "the percentages" really exist, or is that just a bunch of voo-doo shit. I've never seen the actual percentages that distinguish converting a yard from making a team drive 60 yards.

The statistics that I can dig up say 100% of the time: "PUNT THE FUCKING BALL".

Yeaaahhh....fuck it. He went for the win. Good for him.

presidence99 · #19 11-16-09, 09:18 AM

He did this earlier in the year against Atlanta.

Going for the win I thought was when you were BEHIND. They were AHEAD when he made this call. Crazy.
