I was fine with them passing it because their defense had been dominating, but didn't like the low percentage plays on fourth down. Why get tricky in those situations when you have been moving the ball so well all game?
No issues with the playcalling.
We just didn't execute.
Brady misses Edelman for a TD and had Gronk open for a first down.
Besides, I have a bigger issue with our defense playing soft more than our offense staying aggressive.
I voted no but you don't go for it on fourth down in those situations. You punt and make the Bills' ****ty offense and ****ty QB work against the clock.
I know the Pats had a gameplan they wanted to stick with, but it seems like they could've held their lead had the Bills been given less time to rally.

I dislike your options. The patriots would not be able to run the ball, which is why they passed it. I was fine with the play calling, they were successful passing the ball all game, it had nothing to do with running up the score.
So dude, are you saying that there's nothing the offense could've done differently?
Everything was fine, sure in hindsight, maybe they do something else, but the issues were with execution, not with play selection. The first 4th and 1 was a little bit of a mess, but the second one was fine.
There should be a punting on 4th down at midfield with a large lead option in the poll which is my write-in vote

Yup! One vote for the contrarian, yet conventional, position.Okay, good point. I included additional options in case you want to re-cast your vote.
I included "other" in the poll. Happy now?
