The jests hadn't scored a td sinc 9:19 of the third quarter. The pats had only managed one td drive all day. Brady was getting hit every time he dropped back. The odds were at least reasonable to think that the patriots were better off hoping to stop the jets. Get the ball in decent field position and advance the ball in just enough field position to give gostkowski a shot at an fg. It didn't work out, but if it had it would now be part of Belichick's legend.The point is not the number of yards, plus or minus. The point is to guarantee NE having at least ONE opportunity to score....and NE chose the one option that relinquished that guarantee.
Every time people complain about his drafts we look back and see he schooled everyone.
Every time he cuts a player people yell foul and it turns out to be the right move.
In BB we trust
I can understand the decision. The defense on that drive was heinous, however.
Except for Ridley and Revis today but yeah overall...
Revis?
If Triumph and Salem arent killing BB over kicking off to start OT, that should tell you something.
Surprising, sure but certainly not unprecedented.
Yeah, that guy who got the pick. Remember him?
I would love to hear anyone's reasoning on why the Pats had a good shot at driving 80 yards for a TD when it was pulling teeth just to score one TD on offense all game. Unless you can make that argument, it's pointless to question the choice to kick. It's like half the people here didn't get the memo on the new OT rules a few years back.
Yeah, that guy who got the pick. Remember him?
Whats wrong now Skippy?
You cant see that defense was actually playing better?
Answer the question. You bring up Revis as some sort of mistake. So, are you saying because he made a pick tonight that is was a mistake not spending 39 million guaranteed on a guy who Butler is playing as well as.Yeah, that guy who got the pick. Remember him?
Pick play on the Enunwa reception helped a lot. No call but Blakeman's crew didn't call those all game.
Huh? I am agreeing with you as I have been on point about this issue for a while. I will say it again. If you two agree it was a reasonable call it must be since you guys have known to be pretty critical of BB.
Like I said, at worst it was surprising that they kicked off. It certainly wasnt unprecedented that they did it seeing in 2013 they did again against MANNING and it worked.
When have been critical of BB?
Have any examples to show us?

I had no issue with it. It was a 4th and 2 type call.
Now THAT call was stupid.
