If Bellichek is so intent on putting the game in his offenses hand, then he compounded his stupidity by not letting them get the ball back.

so what you are saying, is that they should have told Brady to throw an Int, told the offense to not takle him. and then used the 2 mins to attempt - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:29 10
- No. I'm saying once Bellicheck made the stupid decsion, he compounded it by not putting the ball back in Brady's hands. I can see playing d on the - pmb Nov 16, 14:31 4
  - That was a tough situation. Once it got down to 20 seconds, Indy really couldn't run any more. - David Nov 16, 14:39
  - I'm sure he was thinking, "Boy, a timeout would be handy right about now... -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 14:32 2
    - Although, if you thought that going on 4th down was insulting to his own defense, taking a TO would have been doubly so. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 14:38 1
      - There I disagree. I think coaches don't use timeouts to save clock on defense (when they're ahead) enough. - pmb Nov 16, 14:45
- in that case, just get sacked in the endzone for a safety -- nm - Guy Nov 16, 14:30 3
  - except the colts would then get the ball again. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:32 2
    - Yeah, 65 yds away needing a TD to win. I don't give a damn if it's the love child of Unitas, Montana and Manning at QB, i'm making them work for it. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 14:33 1
      - I am totally agreeing with you here. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:34
- No, he's saying that once the 4th down failed, and Indy was on the verge of scoring, they should have let Indy score quickly, allowing Brady time - musubi Nov 16, 14:30
