Boldest SB call ever?

As soon as they were at the 20 with just under 2 minutes I was calling for them to let them score quick (but not make it too obvious as to let the player just take a knee at the one) so we could keep the 2 timeouts and have as much time as possible to make a drive.

Trying to keep them to a FG would be bad because it's a chipshot at that spot and 4 downs would mean no time and burning timeouts. Obviously if they are going to score, you want it as quick as possible. Oh well.

It was the most surreal for sure.

But not the boldest. The boldest imo was Payton doing the onside kick in Saints/Colts. If Baskett recovers that for the Colts, it would have likely been a big hole for the Saints to dig out of.

I completely agree with this. They should have tried to let them score way earlier and not wasted a timeout. Try to give Brady 2 mins instead of 57 seconds.

After the Nicks catch (before the two minute warning), it feels weird, but the defender should've laid low and let him get in for the TD. That gives Brady less than 2 mins with 2 timeouts. That's plenty of time for a drive to score a TD.

You don't want to tell your defender anything but knock the holy hell out of him at that point. I mean, at the 23 yard line, that's a 40 yard FG, it's got a 70% chance of going in. You take that chance. It would be hard to say, if he catches it at the 10, let him in. The first thing I want my defender to do is pound him if he can or strip the ball away.

Let's take this a step further. Why challenge the Manningham catch? So clearly in bounds.

I know no coach would ever do it, but I wanted them to just send the house after Manning after they crossed midfield. Either we sack him, or they get a deep pass for quick touchdown, and then the game is in Tom Brady's hands with four downs and all the time he needs, which is right where it should be, not the defense's.
