Talk about piss poor play calling and clock management (situational football) with the New England Patriots offense at the Washington six yard line in the fourth quarter, first and goal-to-goal. Run the ball three times from the six yard line, milk the clock and/or force Washington to utilize their timeouts, score a touchdown or kick the field goal to seal the game. Five running backs on the New England Patriots roster and three tries from the six yard line to punch it line.
yep, right on
it was a boneheaded comedic soap opera out there today, last weeks antics probably get 2nd place. Number 1 and 2 of the dumbest wins this season. almost wish i recorded them
we burned a total of 38 seconds on the clock in one of our 4rth quarter possessions last week, LOL.

Meanwhile, the whole sideline spat could have been completely avoided if the offensive plays called by Bill O'Brien were three consecutive rushes.

If Brady was wrong Brady was wrong regardless of his resume.
You simply cannot have a player disrespecting a coach. Coaches 'disrespect' players all the time, its called evaluation. If a player wants to yell at his coach because he disagrees with the evaluation that is a player issue, not a coach issue. There is a hierarchy, and authority structure.
If Brady has no problem with it, why do you guys?
Logic, meet Andy Johnson, king of the ad hominem. I know you're strangers, but I encourage you to become acquainted.

This. I thought BOB was right to do what he did. Brady was pissed off and took it out on a young WR. BOB intervened and told him to shut up. That's good coaching IMO.
Marino's ego got out of control near the end. He pointed the finger at everyone but himself, and the team quit on him. I'm glad someone, for the good of the team, is willing to stand up to Mr UggsVitaminWaterUnderArmorBrady-Bundchen.

I'm just going to drop out of the conversation here, because it will be pointless to continue. We have diametrically opposed understandings of the relationship between coaches and players and how authority is maintained on an NFL team. On top of that you are dismissing that Brady has no problem with it, that NFL people say that this happens all the time, and limiting your belief that such a thing ever happened to anyone else based upon whether it was filmed and I saw the film.
Hahaha, I like how you say you are just going to drop out of the discussion then you go on and give your opinion some more. So I will too.
Brady says he has no problem with it because he is taking the professional approach to it, he's a team guy and takes the high road here. The broadcast I was watching, probably same as yours, the announcers acted kind of stunned that OBrien was yelling at TB.
On film or not I'm pretty sure OC's don't yell at their HOF player. Maybe have some words but to act like OBrien did today I gotta say no. Too much respect to do that to the teams main man. Seriously OBrien was out of control.
Against one the worst rush defenses in the NFL, to add insult to injury.
A closer look at that sideline spat will reveal dumb and dumber in full effect between TB and BOB. 5 RB's? they must think some ones gone nuts looking at a pass 1st offense with 4 reliable receivers. TE/WR's and 5 RB's decorating the bench. BB's making this an interesting year must be said never mind the defensive side of the ball.
The NFL plays out like the fashion industry.
This years most popular design and back by viewer demand in our target demographic. The finesse......oops... I mean a high octane passing game with a Defense that can stuff the rush, to reduce TOP and force the ball into the air for potential turnovers.
The running attack is window dressing and used sparingly if at all so keep your rosters deceptively loaded. You'll need a top 5 QB for this elegant and most colorful attacking game.
That does it for our Fall/Winter addition of 2011's biggest NFL attacking fad, thank you very much

I miss the days of clock killing Corey Dillon and Charlie Weis as the offensive coordinator. At least Charlie Weis had carte blanche to rip Tom Brady a "new one".
My guess is that BoB made a valid point in dramatic fashion, and Brady objected to the packaging.
Since Brady is commonly on the giving end of dressing downs, and since team custom allows for "hard coaching", Brady in that case was indeed right to say "Oops, my bad, BoB had the right of it."
