tfox I totally thought we lost the game. -- nm - Remlik Nov 15, 20:41 32
- :) you don't have to make me feel better. that... just isn't the type of thing Pats fans usually see. - TFox Nov 15, 20:43 30
  - Ya know...if they were closer to mid-field or in Colt territory, I could see going for it. - Jim Nov 15, 20:44 17
    - i agree. and i'll say too, and he had a great game so I don't want to bag on him too bad, but Faulk needs to know where that line is. - TFox Nov 15, 20:45 13
      - OMG, don't blame Faulk. That is 100% on the coach. Not Brady, Not Faulk, Not the O Line. That is Bills dumb fault -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 20:47 8
        
        I never said it was primarily Faulk's fault. Obviously Bill went full retard there. -- nm - TFox Nov 15, 20:49 2
        
        I am just saying, it's not even 1% his fault. I still can't believe what I just saw. - Redmond Nov 15, 20:50
        
        And of course you never go full retard -- nm - eag Nov 15, 20:50
        
        agreed. that was a call that said "i dont trust my defense to stop them" -- nm - Truman Nov 15, 20:48 4
        
        Seriously. They're an NFL team - at least give them a chance. - Jelly Nov 15, 20:51
        
        Honestly, I don't know what the hell he was thinking. That is the weirdest thing I have seen in a long time. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 20:49 2
        
        with all the wasted timeouts, the fact that the colts scored twice on drives of less then 2 mins (or right around there) i just think he didnt trust - Truman Nov 15, 20:52 1
        
        Maybe he bet on the Colts? -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 20:53
      - Word. Faulk takes one more step, the bobble doesn't matter. -- nm - Jim Nov 15, 20:46 3
        
        well, if he had control of it. if he took another step, was still bobbling the ball, then fell backwards, the step wouldnt matter really. - Truman Nov 15, 20:47 2
        
        No...I mean, he should have taken another step before turning around for the ball. - Jim Nov 15, 20:49 1
        
        oh yeah, I agree. but you can tell the true elite receivers by just that test. - Truman Nov 15, 20:50
    - Exactly. It's not the play but where they were on the field. I thought it was an obvious try to draw them off sides but never snap t he ball. - Redmond Nov 15, 20:45
    - Yup. When you don't punt in that situation, you're playing with fire. - Jelly Nov 15, 20:45
    - yeah, i dont get that call. - Truman Nov 15, 20:45
  - The Raiders think that was a stupid call -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 20:44 11
    - even if you punt it though, 2 minutes for manning is still an eternity -- nm - baldrick Nov 15, 20:44 10
      - But worst case...punt it out of the endzone and make him go 80, instead of turning it over on downs and making him go 29. -- nm - Jim Nov 15, 20:45 9
        
        especially when Manning had been wicked fallable until the last 5 minutes. - TFox Nov 15, 20:46 8
        
        He had just gone 80 yards in 90 seconds. NE wasn't going to stop him. - David Nov 15, 20:54 5
        
        you know what? fine, then don't use your last timeout *before* the play. save the ability to challenge, at least. - TFox Nov 15, 20:56 4
        
        That's hindsight, though. They can't play differently because they might need to challenge something. - Jelly Nov 15, 21:04
        
        But the timeout gave them time to find the right play. They just didn't execute. -- nm - David Nov 15, 21:01 2
        
        i hold them to a higher standard than that. if they wanted to go for it there, they should have thought of it more than two seconds beforehand... - TFox Nov 15, 21:04 1
        
        To the contrary, in that situation, it is an imperative to take your time and get it right. It is the last play of the game if you do. -- nm - David Nov 15, 21:06
        
        Exactly. Force him to go 80 yards and maybe he makes another mistake. 29 yards, he's able to hand off a couple times - Jim Nov 15, 20:49 1
        
        Not to mention a field goal does nothing for them. They needed to drive for a TD. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 20:51
- you got a huge gift. Merry Christmas. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 20:42
