What should bother every Pats fans is why McD and Bellichick didn't take more time off the clock with a few running plays or even a short, guaranteed catch off a screen pass to keep the clock running when they were already in field goal range for the tie on the final drive. BB must've had no respect for Manning and the Giants to score with nearly 3 minutes on the clock and 3 timeouts. BB made the conscience decision that he trusted his defense more than he trusted his running game or Brady to come up with a TD after 1 or 2 running plays.
My intention isn't to be disrespectful but that is just plain stupid. Do you remember the Pats last drive at all? It was like a 9 minute drive.
I would be even more upset if Belichick started calling plays just with the intention to let the clock wind down when they are BEHIND. You call plays that give you the best chance to score. How is this not incredibly obvious?
