The Media is KILLING Sea for it's bad play call in the end game. Amazingly, they are ignoring the HORRENDOUS errors Belichick made at the end of each half.
1. End Of the 1st half.
Sea on the 6 yard line, 6 seconds left. Sea correctly decides to go for it. We have discussed this dozens of times. The Defense needs to just tackle all the receivers on the line of scrimmage, get hit with multiple defensive holding calls, and the Offense has no chance to score. Of course, (like the NBA breakaway foul) the NFL will eventually change this rule, and intentional penalties by the D should results in no time off the clock. However, this rule DOES NOT EXIST, yet despite this, NO NFL TEAM seems to understand the 'true' way to play prevent defense when the clock is at 6-10 seconds. Mind Boggling to me.
2. End of the Game no timeout.
50 seconds left. Sea on the 1. TICK TICK TICK. WHAT IS BELICHICK DOING?? Where is the time-out? The end game was a donk-fest, as clearly NE should have called time out, then Sea runs and scores, and then Brady leads a game tying Fg drive. Instead, NE gives away the game by not calling time out, and Sea reciprocates by throwing the game away. In Chess terms, the Patriots give away their Queen, and Sea responds by getting back row check mated........
On the handicapping side, we won 10 units in January, and we roll into February looking for a big 2015 after winning 111.5 units in 2014! Let's Roll!
