Haha, I remember that moment. At the party I was at we were all jumping up and down like crazy when Tebucky brought it to the house off the fumble. Then we saw the flag and then the Rams scored, and it was "...Here we go again..." like we were used to as Red Sox fans.
But Faulk was the guy Warner wanted to go to. If McGinest hadnt held Faulk, there never would have been the scramble, the fumble, and the run back.
The Patriot defense was tired as it was. the runback and all the energy they used up in the excitement, thinking the game was virtually over, and the letdown of having it all come back, really gassed them out.
they are showing the 30 minute highlight films. Still great. they'll be showing more of these full SB games, not sure which one is next. Ive read they'll be showing some old ones, like SB 10. I would imagine SB 3 as well since that full game has been out in internet circulation for a few years.
I'll bring it up now so theres time to think about it. one strategy i always questioned Belichick on was when the Patriots had the ball before the 2:00 minute warning no times out left, and 3rd and 8. They ran and let the clock run down to 2:00 warning before they punted. I always felt we should have tried to win it with a pass. A first down, and even with the 2 minute warning, the game would be over because the Rams had no timeout. Even if it was incomplete, there would be like 2:12 left. and you'd still punt.
At the time i remember thinking, "if we lose Belichick will be questioned about this for a long time"
Maybe he felt it was a risk but Brady had shown he was too cool to throw a pick or something.
