Did anyone have a problem with that?

I'm sure he's catching major heat for it today.

I love the fact that they rubbed his nose in it by making them defend for another snap.

I don't think it's a huge deal really, he did stop and shake hands with and congratulate Coughlin and the Giants before he left the field.

That's how Belichick is, we shouldn't expect him to change

I thought the Giants should have called one more play for a TD.

No, not a huge deal. But...

But if there's time on the clock and your team has to line up for one last play and the head coach is halfway up the tunnel, it doesn't really send the best message.

Yea, I just felt that it was another example of how classless Belichick is. I thinnk everyone knew this would happen if they lost.

How insane would that have been? Fake taking a knee and toss it up for a TD?! That would have been hilarious.

Who cares? The only thing he needed to do once the game was done was to congratulate Coughlin, which he did. The refs messed up the clock and ticked it down to :00 - it's not like he pulled a Randy Moss.

Belichick being his normal, classless self. In fact, I thought it was poor form that the entire Patriots team left without offering any congratulations to the Giants players. Maybe I'm just remembering Super Bowls incorrectly, and I understand it's all about the Giants celebrating when the clock hits zero, but isn't it customary for at least some of the players to shake hands and say "congrats, you guys really earned it today..."?

At least he congratulated Coughlin. But I think overall Belichick is a sore loser. His interview with Chris Myers after the game was painful to watch. Though I must say I took some glee in it since here's a coach that hates answering to the media and was forced to do that traditional "losing coach" interview...
