Okay, I was on the fence all week, but Simmons convinced me that Belichuk screwed up on Sunday.

The fact that the circumstances made it essentially a two-point conversion situation throws the success percentage way off.

im not a Simmons fan, but I also agreed with the bulk of his analysis. -- nm - Guy Nov 20, 11:11
Having now checked out the BB discussion of the same, I *think* I'm about to back up Guy. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 11:03 5
- Well, it looks like Guy might have gotten that from Simmons. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 20, 11:13 1
  - yes. i didn't mention his name so as not to 'tarnish' the statistics with ST hatey -- nm - Guy Nov 20, 11:14
- the difficulty in scoring 3tds in a 4Q comes from a variety of things - Reagen Nov 20, 11:08 2
  - 4) limited plays to make those TD drives happen. defenses can (sometimes) adjust to what was working for the offense and stop it. -- nm - Guy Nov 20, 11:13
  - That's fair, so you would have to compare the success factor vs only the games involving the situation. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 11:13
I know nothing about this except what's been said on ST, but it sounds like the football equivalent of Tin Cup at the 18th hole -- nm - Roger More Nov 20, 11:01
He is also implying that Belichick is on the downhill slide -- nm - amoxy Nov 20, 10:58 7
- The Patriots have five monster defeats since winning Super Bowl XXXIX -- 2005 (Denver, playoffs); 2006 (Indy, AFC title game); 2007 (Giants... - Spawn Nov 20, 11:02 5
  - are we really going to call the Giants win a self-destruct, and not the biggest horseshoe-in-my-anus drive in NFL playoff history? Really? -- nm - TFox Nov 20, 11:03 4
    - Should that particular Pats team and that particular Giants team have been less than 7 pts apart at that point of the game? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 11:05 3
      - a completely different discussion. -- nm - TFox Nov 20, 11:07 2
        
        Not really. The Pats prepareness going into a historical game matters into the discussion of whether the Giants were lucky or the Pats good. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 11:09 1
        
        Spawn's assertion is that the Pats self-destructed, which I would contend with full-throated vigor. -- nm - TFox Nov 20, 11:13
- An argument could be made that such a thing is likely to happen the longer he stays. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 10:59
