Take the knee.I saw it as proper game management. At 14 points up with 2 minutes to go, Dallas is a touchdown, an onside kick, and a touchdown away from taking the victory away. As improbable as that outcome may be, if Dallas does not let the clock run down by calling a timeout, you do not hand the ball back to Dallas at any point on the field. Dallas proved that against Buffalo less than a week ago.
NE did not put in its power package on the field (Seau wanted to go out there and block and got called back) and ran straight up the gut with the lowest running back on the depth chart. Again, the chances of NE melting down like Buffalo are slim to none, but I can see plenty of critics screaming bloody murder if the unthinkable happens. Dallas can take the credit for the last touchdown by indicating it wanted to try its luck by calling a time out.
This is what I think of all the coaches & player that taking shots at us is going to get....Dugney you turn is coming.....Ward we will be there...Mcnabb you are going eat your word...Eveybody elst that I miss...It was great to see the kid from navy get his...

Don't say teams have done it, show me. When has a team taken a knee on FOURTH DOWN for a turnover? WHEN????
Sure they have, and if they haven't, what class that would have shown. Again, you think te boys rush out on to the field to try and score?? WTF, they probably just let the clock run, doofusses!never................

You could easily take a knee, teams have done it. Being up more than 1 TD with 20 seconds allows you to do that if you choose to do so.
I've never seen a team take a knee on 4th down. They usually take a knee to run out the clock. When they know they can't run out the clock, they run it up the middle. They owuld have run out the clock by taking a knee if Wade hadn't called timeout.
You actually want the Patriots to come back out on the field against the Dallas offense so that the Pats D can risk injury?

98 yards to go.
Even a perfect pass, to a streaking TO, takes 11-12 seconds.
If NE takes a knee, no way do the Cowboys even run a play. You're dreaming!!
And, I would be willing to bet that a team at some point somewhere, a team took a knee under similar circumstances.

Off RT, LT, and RT is "up the gut"??We ran a practice squad RB 4 times up the gut. If Dallas can't stop it, that's their problem. Normally, I'd say "who cares", as I don't think its really a big deal either way.
However, the fact that it pisses "He Ban Me" off so much, gives my great joy and has me leaning much more towards the "it was the right call" camp. After all the sh!t we've had to put up with all year, I have no problem with it.
I'm so pleased the Patriots scored on their last offensive possession since it obviously bothers you to no end.Off RT, LT, and RT is "up the gut"??
Look, it was 19 seconds, 2 yard line, no TO's for Dallas, up by two TD's. It was unnecessary. But who cares, I just like to see how vehemently you guys like to argue your point. You'd think your team never did any wrong. ****, you guys were pissed we went for 2 in 2005. AND I KNOW there was WAY MORE TIME than 19 seconds left in that game.
