What is the general reaction of everyone up in NE?
I work in DC and everyone that I've talked to have said that it was a dumb move. I also thought it was a terrible call. No matter how you look at it, going for a fourth down try in your own 28 yard line, up by 6 with two minutes left is not a good move. I've heard analysts try to convince everyone else that it was a good move, but to me, those guys are just being contrarians.
I found myself unable to defend Belichick when talking to my co-workers which is funny because even when he got caught cheating, I somehow convinced myself that it was justified (everybody was doing it rationale) and staunchly defended our coach. This however, was just dumb and I can't defend it.
What a joke - if the ref made the right call, they'd all be talking about how gutsy Belichick is.
Look, Belichick could've punted the ball, and the defense could've very well likely coughed up the game anyway. No one would've been talking about Belichick's coaching decision.
What BB did was as ballsy as it gets - he took the onus off of his defense and put it on himself. I'm sure a lot of coaches would've made a different call there just to avoid potential criticism, but BB did what he thought would give him the best chance to win the game.

if only faulk would have turned his head a millisecond sooner, there would be no bobbled catch, no coming up short, no loss, and certainly no discussion...

Well here in New York front page of Daily News has a pic of Rex Ryan & Bill B caption is "Dumb & Dumber" Fat Mike Francessa on WFAN radio is SLAMMIN BB. Interestingly enough some Jets and Giant fan callers support BB decision while Mike F tells them their outta their minds.

Yeah gutsy, but still dumb. Being gutsy or ballsy doesn't always mean you're making the right decisions for your team.
Marty Mornhinweg electing to kick when the Lions won the coin toss in overtime was a gutsy call, but it was dumb.
If last night's call was made by someone other than Belichick, we'd all be laughing at how dumb the call was. Don't lie to yourself.

The reality is that BB has a ton of capital... and many of us believe that it was a gutsy call, none of us know what went into the decision making and may not never know...
Do not think the call was dumb, Brady went over center and saw Faulk 1-1 with a safety, 90% of the time #33 would have prevailed... it is about moving the chains...
Sorry you are amongst the nattering nabobs of negativity, but many of us do not think it is all that bad... the sun will come up in the morning, the Pats will prepare for the Jets.
