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
