Default Chung called for the fake punt

Big mistake by the ST coach not to reign Chung in and not allow him the option of calling his own number if he sees an opening. Crazy!!

Chung was just too anxious on that play, not sure if he would gotten the 1st if he caught the ball cleanly but at least he would of gave himself a chance.

I kinda thought he did, especially when they showed him on the sidelines afterward.

iirc, Simms (may have been Nantz) said the right side was wide open.

It was wide open. If there was ever a time to run a fake punt it was right then. The call would of been brilliant only problem is the clutz didn't execute the snap. Now the whole team has taken the fall for it. As far I'm concerned the blame is solely on Chung. Regardless of who called the play.

If he made it, we'll call him gutsy.
Its the coaches fault. Same coaches went for it on 4th and 13 instead of running on 3rd and 13 to get an easier FG

Good call, poor execution. As Mesko said, it was 8 Patriots against 6 Jets. They should get 4 yards or whatever it was on that every time.

On the replay it shows a Jet coming in on the right and his man did not have him sealed off. Maybe after him it was wide open.
This is the kind of play that never would have happened back in the day. A young player never would have been left with that option at his disposal. It's just a stupid "trying to be a hero" play and it's coaching that's not paying attention to detail.
Down 7 - 3 at the half is a very diffferent dynamic than being down 14 - 3 at the half. Killer is the Pats were getting the ball to start the 2nd half.

I call BS on this. There's no way a coach leaves this big of a decision to a ST player!
