I know I'm going to get absolutely blasted by some on here. And, I know being on the field it's tough to not believe in you and your mates on the defensive side of the ball. But, at that point everyone here knew the colts would score, and that they would try and leave as little time left. When addai breaks that run on the second play, you have to let him score. We would have had about 1:15 left to drive down the field to win the game with a field goal. Yes, it's easy to say this now. But, in all honesty as he broke off that run I honestly did scream "LET HIM SCORE, LET HIM SCORE." Our best chance at that point was to conserve time and give our offense a chance to win the game back.

A player can't make that call on his own. BB has to make the call prior to the play. If he didn't think the D could stop them, he should've made this call.

I said after the tackle that they should let him score so they can at least get the ball back with enough time to get a FG try. I felt they were going to score anyways.

Exactly. Similar to how the jags told all their players to kneel, and I had my running back kneel at the one twice in the last few yrs of fantasy football. First Westbrook, then Jones-Drew. Funny thing was I played against the same guy both times. But, yeah back to the point, the players should have been told if someone broke it and had somewhat of a clear path to just let him go. Of course then the defense would really feel like BB didn't believe in them at all (which of course he didn't, but wouldn't really want them to know this so that they lose confidence etc).

No way would I have condoned letting him score. We have beaten this team on a goal line stance in the past. You have to go down fighting. I thought the Jets were being weak when they tried to do it against the Jags. Belichick would have really been showing no faith in his defense then.Live bythe sword, die by the sword.

The only time to let a team in is if the other team already has the lead or can run the clock out and win on a FG. Not when you are up 6.

I was saying the same thing. They go up by 1 with 1:15 left. All we would need would be to get near the 30. It's about the odds. Are the odds of them scoring on a 1st and goal (with 4 downs) at the 1 less than the odds of us being able to drive 50 yards in 1:15 and kick a field goal? I don't think so.

This is the year. We put our failures in the past, it's a new year, a new defense. It's time to prove to the league that the Patriots are back and aren't going anywhere and they will be the last ones standing in Feb.
Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

You must not remember 2003 when we were first and goal and got smoked by your D!!!

Those days are way in the past.

This is a different D, and a very young one. However, im thinking they could pretty damn good in time for the playoffs
