[AFCW]

i took the points and the pats $$$
pats are the biggest sore losers bb no hand shake

[Chargersrmylife]

Bellichick is an idiot for going for it on 4th down. He may have cost them the game.

[Rivers4MVP]

wow what a game

[Commonrider5447]

dang, I wasnt sure who I wanted to win this game, I guess this way it keeps us even with the Pats and we know if we need to go into the colts house we can beat them hehe

[jerseyboltfan]

incredible!!!

[MontanaChargers]

can you imagine if Norv had made the call to go for it at their own 30? this board would would be calling for his head. no wait........we've won 4 in a row and caught denver, and people are still calling for his head.

[RAWDOGG]

What was Belicheat thinking for going for it on the 25 yard line????? Wrapped and delivered the game to Peyton

[pacstud22]

BB just dropped out of the top ten coaches of all time imo...

Worst reg. season HC call I've seen since Rich Kotite...and worse.

Inexcuseable imo...just wrong.

BB literally cost his team the victory.

[EpikCharger760]

wow, what a come back..

[Rivers4MVP]

i just looked and now the bolts are tied for the 3rd best record in the AFC...we still have home field shot...only the Bengals and Colts above us, so this helps us....cuz the colts are going to get home field anyways

[PDXCharger]

I still have no concept of why Belichek went for it.
I just don't understand.
I don't trust Belichek...is it some kind of Voodoo?

?????????????

You heard it here from him...cause it has something to do with the NFL.
Does every thought about a game have to end up in the inappropriate area of the forums?

This is good becuase we own the colts.

we do own the colts in the playoffs, i give my colts fan friend crap about it all the time

Definately, but seeing as how this area of the forums gets the most views, and therefore the most gratification for someone telling us what they have just learned, couldn't you post your thoughts about the NE/IND game in an appropriate part of the forums?

[SP17BOLT]

That's what you call "The coach lost that game"

Only a Super Bowl......

[ltinabottle]

Hard to believe Bill actually went for it. I thought he was trying to draw the Colts offside. Terrible decision given the field position!

Go Bolts

[BoltCultMember]

I turned the game off around 4:00 min...first,cause I didn't really care and second cause I can't stand watching the Pats win...I kinda wish I didn't turn it off :(

[thumper300zx]

I predict a merge with the thread started long before in the AROUND THE NFL section.

Bellicheck might have lost the lockeroom after that move. That was such a bad play call...soo badd...idiot.

[MadMadigan]

Colts 18 game win streak, funny no mention of the playoffs...lol Typical Colts nub lovin analysts they are.

[Rivers4MVP]

last colts loss: AT THE Q IN THE POSTSEASON...ALL HAIL SPROLES!

[nmboltsfan]

what crap. its NOT an 18 game win streak. PERIOD. we beat them in the playoffs. its a 9 game streak, not a quarter more.

[meatbucket]

the steelers and donkeys are both above us, though we control our own destiny with denver

this is "general discussion".... who cares man? sheesh

[nmboltsfan]

I vote for keeping this in general discussion. Its a discussion, and its general.

[ExPatriot]

Belichick has a reputation for risky moves, but this was a horrible call on his part and it absolutely cost them the game. It's not even like they were past midfield. They were giving a short field to arguably the best QB in football with plenty of time to get those 29 yards or so.

Damn, even I make better play calls in Madden.

Uh, that call was no where near as bad as BB's; granted it was a bad call, but worst than this? No way.

[PDXCharger]

It's an 18 game regular season winning streak. Everybody just relax. Who cares if they don't mention that we beat them in the playoffs. We didn't win the Super Bowl, so I don't want to hear about the playoffs.

Time to change all of that!
Go Bolts!:logo

so funny how all the announcers and sports shows mention that winning streak, they forget to mention who the last team to beat them was :LightsOut:

[marty0419]

hey moron, its called a regular season winning streak!!!

as a pats fan, and with the "in bill we trust" motto, i was shocked when they snapped the ball, i think it took a minute to realize it really happened!
i like go for it kinda attitude, if they made it he is still criticized i wonder what the players will say tomorow on the radio, oh wait they will say whatever bill tells them to say........

cant believe pats will be traveling to SD or IND in the playoffs

[nmboltsfan]

BUt why is it for the Colts that its a 'regular season win streak?' For say, the Chargers, Ravens, Bills or Texans, it would be 18 of their last 19 games. Its not a 'win streak' if there is a break in winning, therefore it is NOT a true 18 gm winning streak.

Edit: It is an 18 game REGULAR SEASON win streak, yes, but that is a stupid stat.

lol, true...

but come on, field position, time of game, score...??

This has to be worst all time reg. season call.

[pacstud22]

Uhhh...You remember week 2 chargers game??


3rd down Figgy try? Bad, not even in the same league.

[The Moekid]

That was an incredibly interesting moment. I couldn't believe they actually snapped the ball. I thought they were just going to try and draw them offside. I guess he'd completely lost confidence in his defense. But if I had Tom Brady and a short passing game that worked as well as NE's all night I might have made the same call. Brady praised the call after the game. Can't argue with BB's success this decade.

[daniel dugdale]

I am so happy I found a thread on this (like there wasn't going to be one though). But after watching them talk so much **** about belicheat on ESPN if they would have made it on 4th and 2 they would have been sucking him allllllll up. Talking about how "if he were to have punt it peyton would have time to score blah blah blah. But instead he went on it on 4th and 2, called the perfect play and showed us what a true genius he is."

[SDfan]

what are people complaining about, he made that 1st down game over... how far can you kick it? to the colt's 20-30 yard line max... and you have to account in a lucky kick return... with the way they been playing scoring **** load, would you not trust that offense to pick up 2 yard?

I saw the 4th down play like 2 min before it started... just logic, there's a huge possibility of going for it if they can't get the 1st on that 3rd down.

[Chargrfan]

3rd down Figgy try? Bad, not even in the same league.
Both cost them the games right?

If you think a 180lb back can take it through a Ravens D line that has been owning you all game for a first down when your QB is having a career day, terrible play call.

If you think a motivated colts defense who got back in to the game after a huge deflict is gonna allow a 4th and 2 from your own 28, terrible play call.

[Chargers Fan]

A toast to Belichick... with his favorite brand. :Beer:

[Al "T.D." Bundy]

That's what happens when you let arrogane and ego get the better of you.

That, and you don't have any recent illegal tapes of the defense...

[Urhighnessme]

Hate to be the only one to say this... but that was a horrible spot and if I were BB I would be pissed. He looked past the first down marker. Whoever said he was juggling the ball is crazy. He had that first down. Now time for the smack talk....


BTW... I am a HUGE BB and Brady hater. I don't like the way BB plays the game or how he conducts himself. And I hate Brady on principle alone bc WE should've gone to the SB. So in no way did I want them to win. I just think it was an awful spot.

[Hardboiled]

It's called risk analysis.

Many here think that going for it lost the game. What you miss is that in BB's mind, if they punted the game was likely lost. He obviously thought the defense was probably not going to stop Indy. That reduces the risk of going for it. The reward was a first down and the game. The risk? Indy was aleady running all over the Patriots D. They would have from midfield or the Patriots 28.

What's likelyhood of getting 2 yards? What's the likelyhood of Hanson 30 - 40 yard punt? What's likelyhood the getting any rush when Indy gets the ball back?

I would have punted hoping for an Indy mistake. But I get why BB went for it. Saying that's what lost the game is simplistic.

[Riverside]

Interesting article in Yahoo that says if the pats went for it, by percentage, they had a 79% chance of winning, and by punting, they had a 70% chance, I guess when you have Brady and that offense, you wouldn;t not want to try for two.

Anyway, I don't think that alone lost them the game, its a game of four quarters, and if Brady hadn't thrown that pick in the end zone, or Maroney fumbled it in the end zone, things would have gone differently.
