:) you don't have to make me feel better. that... just isn't the type of thing Pats fans usually see.

that was, quite honestly, the type thing Vandy fans see.

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
