“Because if we had snapped the ball and run the play I think if we hadn’t scored, we wouldn’t of had time to get another play off. So we wanted to take the three points.”
On if there was any thought of calling in the immediate timeout after Tom Brady slid:
“Well, not really because I thought we could get up there and, whatever, we wanted to try and get up there and clock it and have time to run a play and have the timeout to kick the field goal. So no, not really. I guess if we had known that it would’ve taken as long as it did to get the football finally clocked, but then we didn’t get a great look on the play. Tom actually called timeout at the same time I did, so we just didn’t have it.”
You misread. I was calling YOU a numbskull. You numbskull.

Hell, even in his answer there is a clue that Brady at least shared responsibility. "we didn't get a great look on the play" well Brady did, he was on the f---ing field and should have been aware of the situation.

If BB's own words pertaining SPECIFICALLY to these events don't explain things for you satisfactorily, nothing will. He's the head coach. Your gripe is with BB -- not me, Brady, Bob Kraft or Santa Claus.

Nice try lawyer, but you left out, "but then we didn’t get a great look on the play." Now in light of that omission re-read my post.

I agree. TFB has close to carte blanche to over-ride a call where the context has changed enough to warrant the deviation.
It is indisputable that were he to call TO upon sliding, the Pats could have had time for a play into the EZ before settling for the FG. Watching this sequence was like a slow motion train wreck.
BB needs to look at clock management for 2013. A skill the early Pats with TB possessed but has deteriorated. Look at the fiasco before the half in Seattle.

Good job, way not to address my point. Do yourself a favor and drop it. It's OK.

I read your post. Your argument is just a poor one. BB had plenty of time to call the T.O. before he did. He could have stopped the bleeding any number of seconds before he did, once he got that great look.

Brady's just not that good anymore, he'll be lucky to win 8 games next season because he's not going to have a cupcake schedule he's used to having every year!!

Your "point" (aside from the one on your head) appears to be that you're convinced Brady should've acted differently from how he was instructed by his head coach. I don't know why, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that BB told Brady to save that final timeout for the field goal attempt. Why? Because they obviously felt -- unlike you -- that Baltimore gave them a defensive look precluding a legit shot at the end zone that also would've left time to kick the three-pointer if it failed. If you can't buy that reasoning, you need remedial help.
