This is unreal from Belichick. I see what he is at here. He gets the clock way down, they still have two plays left and he is happy to give them the ball at their own 2 with something like 40 seconds left on the clock and no timeouts.
I see it as well but punching it in and making it a 2 score game is better. What happens if Tjack gets in and launches it to Moss.....
Ah fook as im writing this lawfirm punches it in
Ah for fook sake now being reviewed.0 -
See if they had gotten it in there before the two minute warning then they the Viks still had a chance to get a score before the two minute warning and then win the ball back on the kickoff. Now its over. Its just so smart from the master tactician.tallaghtoutlaws wrote: »I see it as well but punching it in and making it a 2 score game is better.

But in hindsight as it worked its easy to say it was a great thing. Had it not worked and we failed to punch it in then we could have given the Vikes the game. Once again taking risks. As always when they work one becomes even more a legend when they don't work one becomes a dope

I'd agree in a close game the risks of the QB fumbling on a sneak are a lot higher than on a running play up the gut etc. If I was a Pats fan I would have been a bit uncomfortable with the call. The Vikes though showed why they are a 2-5 team on that final Pats drive. They had the chance to make a couple of third down stands and get the ball back with decent time on the clock and were unable to make a stop.0 -
I get what you are saying Tallaght but when you think of all the factors. Worst case scenario was they didn't get in and Tavaris Jackson gets the ball at his own 2 with 40 seconds on the clock and no timeouts. Thats why I think its Belichick's genius coming to the fore again. Not many coaches would think like that.tallaghtoutlaws wrote: »But in hindsight as it worked its easy to say it was a great thing.

I didn't get it straight away either, just before the 2nd down it clicked with me what he was at.
I don't think he would have done that if Favre was still in the game.0 -

Yes but Tjack has Percy Harvin and Randy Moss to throw deep to and to be honest with you I wouldn't take that risk ever. Merriweather at one point was smart enough to hit Moss causing a DPI which would have been a sure TD. You cannot write Moss out of a game and that DPI proved it.
I will say I love how BB rolls as a coach but there are times his decisions are pure mad and ridiculous and when he gets it right he is a legend but lets not forgot those he got wrong. Welkers 4th down catch against the colts remember that one? Its easy to say in hindsight that it was a great decision especially if it works.
All Im saying had we failed to punch it in and Tjack hit Moss or Harvin long for a TD to win the game you wouldn't be saying the same thing. Well maybe you I don't know.
A 10 point cushion and playing it someone what safe is what most would have done and probably gotten away with it.0 -
