At the time I was all for going for the TD as I thought it might be our last chance. But Bill probably should have taken the points there. He is supposed to have the more logical outlook on the situation as opposed to me, the fan.
He knew our defense had solved its problems and the Broncos offense couldn't do a thing. He should have made played it smart..gotten the FG around what was it? 5 mins to go? Then let the defense get Brady the ball back.
4th and 1 is tempting though. If it were say...4th and 5/4th and 10, Bill may well have taken the FG,
Another poster brought up the irony of Amendola's excellent effort there. Had it been 4th and 3, we probably kick the damn FG. You could tell by looking at Belichick that he was spinning the scenarios in his head, and I think the fact that it was only 4th and 1 pushed him into going for it.
