The biggest problem I have with this loss over most things is the fact that we had a chance to tie the game with possesion of the ball only down by 7 with nearly 2 minutes left in the game...We then proceeded to drive inside of the 50 of the Colts with 1:33 still left in the game and we were almost what appeared to be in a hurry up offense! - It appeared that Brady rushed to get off that pass to Faulk which of course got tipped and intercepted.
If Brady and Manning are the 2 best 2 minute QBs in the game today then to me that means 2 things...Take it a bit slow and easy cause brady had done it (scored a TD) before with even less time on the clock (SB 36) and second of all,why hurry when you know even if you give 30 seconds to Manning after scoring he is still dangerous to get it down the field with one accurate toss - Why we did not have patience in that last 2 minutes is beyond me -0 timeouts were not a big problem if we had taken it a bit slower and possibly just wasted a down by spiking the ball to grab a breather after all we were moving it in that last possesion rather easily...We wasted an opportunity to gradually get down into the deep part of Colts territory with OT a possibility if we were not in such a hurry to move the ball when time said that we could do it with more thought and patience - Did Brady lose count of what time was left on the clock?..It sure looked like it and there was enough time to grab several plays with all that time remaining but was totally wasted away.
