However, he dissed them for good reason. They couldn't stop the Colts at all in the fourth and Tom Brady getting two yards is an easier gamble (well, normally) than trying to stop Manning with two minutes to go.
Well the defense gets to make a statement this week then especially next week against N.O. I think our best chance to win was to convert the 4th and 2, if the defense doesn't like it, too bad I guess.
The problem with what Tedy says is the defense was given a chance to stop Peyton, and couldn't.

I still would have punted, but I dont see going for it a disrespect to the D. It is just a respect for Manning and the Colts O, maybe a little too much respect.
i mean say we punt and get it to their 20. anything could happen in that time span - a strip sack, a forced fumble, etc. Manning is great but he doesn't lead his team to a TD on EVERY down.
Yeah, I just really wish I could see how the defense would have responded if we punted. They came up big at the end vs Baltimore and could have came up big last night. We'll never know.
We could've given them the ball in Chicago and they would've scored.
it's way too risky to go for it on 4th down on your own 30 when you are facing the colts and them having 3 timeouts. BB pulled this same nonsense in the super bowl going for it on 4th and 18 at midfield.

That's the problem -- we saw this situation, and the D did NOT come up big vs. Baltimore: Mark Clayton dropped a pass.
