I want to see someone in the media grow a pair with this one
-
I'm wondering out loud if anybody in the media will have the courage to give an honest assessment of what Bill Belichick just did to cost his team against Indy.
First, the Patriots took TWO timeouts in three plays on offense, leaving them with no timeouts.
Second, and perhaps most egregiously, he chooses to go for it on 4th and 2 from his own 28 with just over two minutes left, leading by six. They don't get it and the Colts easily punch it in four plays later. Colts win 35-34.
Can you imagine what the anti-Mangini propaganda army would have done with that one? Since it's a wreck by Belichick, I can already hear the scribes lacing up their kid gloves.
...searching for Nev Chandler..."5,4,3,2,1, Touchdown Browns!! -

Yea, the last 2 minutes were a big WTF for me. Belichek must have been smoking schrooms to let a guy like Peyton start with only 30 yards to go. And why the hell did he waste those 2 timeouts? Starting a drive on a timeout? Were there too many men on the field or something? I don't get it. Oh well... I hate the Pats. Glad to see them lose. It was a great game, an amazing game. I was on the edge of my seat as Manning went for those 2 last minute touchdowns.

There is no way!
Manning was having a horrible night and this is the only way the colts would've won.
This has Donaghy written all over it, but this is football and not basketball.
I would not shed a tear if Bhellipuke saw a federal pen like Donaghy did.
Head or Gut? -
Has anyone on here ever listened to Imus in the morning?
I remember the summer before parcells won his 1 SB Imus was talking about how he was on the turnpike and got off to get a coffee and a pit stop, he witnessed Parcells, Belichick and some well known mob figures having a meeting right before the pre season was to begin.
Take it for what its worth.

I never cared much for Imus. I don't like what happend to him a few years back but still never really cared much for his show.

Damn, I erased that game off my DVR- I figured when the Pats were up by 10 with seven minutes left, it was over.
I have to wonder if Manning was hurt- a bunch of his passes looked like Charlie Frye wounded ducks.
OTOH gutless Marvin Lewis looks like a genius kicking a FG on fourth and two feet, when a fist down results in a victory formation end to the Steelers game.

I disagree. The Pats were 3 and a half point underdogs and would have covered the spread whether or not Indy scored. So I don't see him throwing the game here.

I was pumped as a football fan when he decided to go for it.
If the Pats get the first down, you would hear about how much of a maverick BB was and how great he is.
Now he will just look like a clown.

if only this were superbowl .. i would have been absolutely thrilled.

Kind of like the Nashville Oiler-er-Titans coming up a yard short?

You shouldn't have to look far... sure, if the ball is moved forward an extra foot everyone thinks he's a gutsy genius instead of an imbecile... but there's a fair question as to management of time outs, challenges, and whether the Defense had enough gas to hold them following a punt.
Clearly the Patriots D had no gas left, but still - it's more than fair to question the call.
Of course is Maroney doesn't fumble in the endzone the Pats win for sure... count him among the guys thankful that Belichick made himself the goat last night.
Overall that was great football to watch... even being on the losing side, watching Brady and Manning is kindof like watching Bird and Magic...
Bird won his share, Magic won his share, and from a Football Fan standpoint, you really just have to sit back and admire good football.
I'd say the Colts have a great chance at a fully undefeated season now and will all but surely have homefield advantage through the playoffs (though I'm confident the Pats can win in Inday still) - but regardless of my Patriots fandom I can't help but think of how great it would be to see the undefeated Saints battling the undefeated Colts in the Super Bowl.

Wow, evenhandedness. Color me "impressed".
True, it was great football and it was hard not to be impressed by Manning and Wayne or Brady and Moss. Vollmer did a great job on Freeney considering his inexperience. Being shorthanded on the d-line was a problem for the Pats.
You can't pick a better QB amongst the two but, as a fan, you like to see it come down to one of them having the ball with a chance to win at the end.
