... Bill Belichick's decision to go for it on 4th and 2 on his side of the 50 yard line, with less than two minutes to go, was one of the gutsiest things I had ever seen in my life.
Gutsy and, it turns out, stupid. Stupid only because Kevin Faulk couldn't get his feet planted on the other side of the mythical first down yellow line emblazoned across my television screen. If Faulk had landed his feet, then forget it. It would have been another brilliant Bill Belichick call.
The sportscasters are putting the loss all on Belichick's decision to go for it on 4th and 2 -- but it was Manning, I tell you, who put the thought in Belichick's head. Manning has been working for years to perfect his Jedi mind tricks... "These aren't the droids your looking for... what's 2 yards, you can make it... there's no need to punt.... move along...."
