Yeah, I mean, I still don't agree with the decision to go for it, BUT I definitely understand the line of thinking. I'm not terribly upset with the decision.
I will say that I do not understand the general media's perception that the sky is falling. For Pete Prisco to equate this call with the Tuck Rule (which doesn't even make sense) and PK to equate this to Game 7 of the '03 ALCS (yes, a do or die game) is ridiculous. This was a 4th down call in a November game. If the Pats make the 1st down, they MIGHT end up with the #1 seed, but the Colts still probably end up with it. Now, the Pats are tied for the 3 seed and 1 game out of the 2. Some of the thoughts coming out of this game are so irrational.
The one thing I take out of this game is this: the Colts can be beat in their house. It took them a questionable (very questionable) PI call, a fumble on the goal line, an INT in the endzone, AND an unusual 4th down attempt to win BY ONE POINT. I can live with that silver lining although it's difficult to digest.
That said, the Pats have a lot to work to do going into this week's game.
