He certainly has the job security at the moment.

Hmm. And yes, on the Colts final 3 touchdown drives it suddenly appeared there was barely a defense on the field, when they had been pretty good the whole game. On a possibly related note, I've never seen anyone get plays off faster than the Colts last night. Were they calling plays by telepathy?Jonathan Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576500112947042008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627538303203776446.post-35326382482476222702009-11-16T23:14:46.876-05:002009-11-16T23:14:46.876-05:00Had that discussion today during dinner.

Then again they were confused the whole fourth quarter. According to the Boston Globe, I read that Belichick knew he was going for it after the 3rd down incompletion, but that some of the punting team ran out and caused them to waste the last timeout. One of the other things about this "decision" is that it distracted everyone from the horrible Pats' 4th quarter meltdown.The Pretenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344696445428286985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627538303203776446.post-46144837903790836942009-11-16T18:10:30.649-05:002009-11-16T18:10:30.649-05:00Going for 4th and 2 seems easily right to me, and ...Going for 4th and 2 seems easily right to me, and your comments are spot on about needing job security to do it. But what about the 3rd and 2 play call? A lot to be said for a run or even a QB sneak there if you might be going for it on 4th. Most of the last decade the Pats love the ground game on 3rd/4th and short...but no Richard Seymour to come in at fullback I suppose :-).Jonathan Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576500112947042008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627538303203776446.post-58795795653965696482009-11-16T16:25:56.475-05:002009-11-16T16:25:56.475-05:00Michelle is only 20 years old and Tiger Woods didn...Michelle is only 20 years old and Tiger Woods didnt win his first tournament until he was that age.
