After sitting around with several friends of mine today who ALL stated "What the he** was up with Belichick going with a questionable and ridiculous Drop kick circus side show with Flutie, when IF HE REALLY WAS TRYING TO WIN....he could have sent in Vinatieri to get the 1 point EASILY!!!! Since they had a VERY GOOD POINT.......I submit the same question to you.
Why would Belichick go with a potentially low percentage (alright even circus act/joke move that had no purpose whatsoever) play that was a MUST in order to stay within 5 points of the doofins.....if he was TRYING to win the game??? I guess what I am saying is why not go with the SURE THING viniateri for the extra point.......rather than risking a shanked or deflected "drop kick"? BB is not generally that liberal during a game.........
IS he trying to give Flutes a nice send off by doing something that hasn't been done in 60 years (WHY? Because no one has even BOTHERED doing it because there is a much more accurate and "almost guaranteed" way to score the extra point?) Does he plan on "pulling this little trick" during the playoffs? What is next? The old statue of liberty play? Center sneak? Three stooges hide the ball under their shirt and run the wrong way into the other teams endzone???????
Seriously, in YOUR opinion.....what was BB thinking/what was the motive....if in fact, he was still TRYING to win the game yesterday with the 2nd and 3rd "teams".............
PS.....this could also explain the "Matt Cassel missed a wide open WR in the endzone which would have sent the game to OT....because BB told him to airmail it" theory.....composed by a guy that was seated behind the grassy knoll
appreciate your insight on this.....
