Wrong. It was the right decision. Tell me how San Diego comes back into the game without that onside kick.
It's on the players, not Belichick.
It was good strategy, 3 score lead with less than 10 minutes, you wind time off the clock, and make sure NO TURNOVERS, NO ONSIDE KICKS.
The formula is simple and effective. it needs to be executed. The chances of a team coming back from that deficit with a prevent defense are minimal.
They were trying to kill the clock, but it was too early and too close for that. Every now and then BB makes a decision that just doesn't make any sense. Hopefully, he'll wait to make these soft zone adjustments until we have a bigger lead next time.Belichick has not learned. Defense
Gavenup 6 points all game
So he
Decidesnto change it up.
because an onside kick is worth 6 points
with 10 minutes left and a 3 score lead IMO you stick with your regular defense, too much time for an offense that good to dink and dunk their way up the field and get a quick score to put them right back in the game with 8 minutes and 3 timeouts to get 10 points.
They can't dink and dunk their way up the field in that amount of time.
That's the point.
The onside kick tacked on 3 minutes to the clock!!!!!!!!!!!
If there were 13 minutes left, then I would have agreed with you.
It was Neil that blew the block. He looked outside instead of inside, and the LB came in and blew it up.
Either way, people are *****ing about the call but they don't have a clue what they were watching. Right call 1 player failed to do their job. If Neil executes that block he picks up the first down and then some.
But I won't get in the way of the BoB ***** fest.
The prevent defense sucks
All I know is that Gary Guyton played like crap out there. Actually liked what I saw from Dane Fletcher and Sergio Brown. Hopefully the Chung knee injury isn't serious.
"Gavenup?" Holy $h!t!Belichick has not learned. Defense

The Pats lost?Introducing...the prevent defense!
It prevents you from winning the game!:bricks:
I almost started a thread about Fletcher. He has really carved out a niche for himself, spying the RB out of the backfield and his open field play is very good. I was wondering why Fletcher wasn't out there when Sproles caught that 8 yard pass.
Guyton just looked slow and stiff the whole game.
Brown looked solid for his first real playing time.
Ugly but as they say its hard to win in the NFL!
Not when you defense holds the best offense in the NFL to 6 points. We have a fairly conservative defense as it is but when you go to a prevent, you let teams back in games that they have no business being in.
Not a single deep pass that I can remember. This is what's causing the offense to have trouble. Teams can bunch 10 within 10 yards of ball and clog the lanes. Tate wasn't even on the field for most of the game.
It's not even as important to complete deep balls as it is to show that you will throw deep. Let's not wait until we lose a game, fire the offensive coordinator now.
