Default If we had punted...

and lost...who would we be blaming today ?
Our offense for scoring just 10 pts in the 2nd half and letting numerous chances slip away ?
Defense for caving in the last 5 mins
or the coaches for play calling as usual ?
If anything , BB's call had made him take the heat and precisely for this reason most coaches punt so they are not to blame and not because its the world's smartest thing to do.
As someone else pointed out.if brady threw an INT in 2001 SB with no timeouts andstarting from the shadows of our own EZ BB wouldve been crucified then. he made the same bold calls then before he won 3 SBS and now too.
I personally wouldve liked to see him punt but over the day i think i can live with his decision esp it was a regular season game.

I'd still say offense. Getting one measley first down against a depleted secondary is alot more doable than stopping Manning in 2+ minutes.

Personally, I'd blame you for starting another one of these threads.

Both. From Brady's ill advised INT, to Maroney's fumble, to settling for early field goals and the defense giving up 28 points before the 4th down call. It should've never gotten to that 4th and 2.

It would be along the same lines of the current commentary, with more emphasis on the Maroney and Brady turnovers as well as the epic capitulation by the defense, the apparent change in defensive scheming and the offense's inability to convert when the game is on the line against quality opposition.

Well I had been holding this little green ball the whole game, and then my son took it from me and hid it right before the PI call. Not kidding. Didn't hold it the rest of the game.
