Ruhskins · 11-15-2009, 12:33 PM

Discuss the games around the league, including the showdown between the Colts and the Pats (just doing what the media outlets are doing this week).

I just love to watch both Manning and Brady. Two field generals that do it from the pocket. Should be a great game to watch.

Poor Clock Management and bit in the ass by a cocky call Suck it Bill!

Wow Bellicheat deserved that loss. He is so freaking arrogant to go for it. They had the game won, but he thinks he is so good and that they are playing a video game.

Karma is a bitch.

What the hell was that? I don't care what team you are, coach you are, QB you are, etc... you don't go for it on 4 and 3 on your own 30 up by 6 like that. That is just a wow stupid move. Belichek...what?

I'm on the fence with that call. If you punt it away the Colts still had all of their timeouts and more than enough time to put a drive together. Ballsy call, but when you have Brady and those WRs I don't have a huge problem with putting the game in their hands.

I would agree with this, except that the same thing happened during the Super Bowl against the Giants (somewhat similar, except that they could have risked a long field goal) so given this one would expect a different decision. That being said, I think this shows that Belichick doesn't trust his defense that much.

With that in mind then I'd go for every reasonable 4th down then. I don't care what team you are you don't do something that has the distinct possibility of givng Peyton Manning 2 minutes to go 30 yards to win a game. You have to make it harder. Was there even a remtoe doubt that they'd get a TD there? I tend to agree that the NFL group-think punt on 4th down every time mentality is wrong but I think you just have to punt there.

I would have punted too. But whether it's 30 yards or 60 yards, with 3 timeouts and Manning under center, I'm not liking my chances either way.

Especially with the way the Colts offense was clicking and the Pats D was struggling to stop much of anything. Belichick saw the chance to seal the game... it was obviously a high risk/reward situation and he rolled the dice and lost.

Many will probably take issue with the call because it didn't work. Maybe the majority of NFL coaches would have punted the ball away and took their chances. The Colts put together the winning drive, but they should have been made to do it from farther away.
