The only way -- and I mean the only way -- you can justify going for it on fourth and two on your own 28 is if Bill Belichick was absolutely convinced: “We lose if Manning gets his hands on the ball again.” …
He was undoubtedly calculating the odds of getting the first down vs. Manning marching down the post-punt field for a score. He lost the gamble and now can’t disprove the critics. … Would I have gone for it? Nope. Not on the 28. But I’m not Bill Belichick. … Spare me the Bucky Dent/Bill Buckner/Grady Little and insanity histrionics. This was a regular season game. … Kevin Faulk: “Hey, shake these cobwebs off and move on.” … Our new Teutonic Terror: Sebastian Vollmer.
