belichickBut do not let him go about Bush. Let's get right to the issue which we are all interested in: Why is Bill Belichick of the fourth and Jump-2, 2:08 left? Easy to say that he wanted to win the game. If the Patriots make it, then we are all talking about how he was a gutsy call. I was able to destroy the young Colts defensive play and support than they did before Randy Moss and Wes Welker.
As a former defender on that team, I would've cared less about the result of that fourth-down attempt. The decision to go for it would be enough to make my blood boil for weeks. Bill Belichick sent a message to his defense. He felt that his chances were better to go for it on his own 28-yard line than to punt it away and make Peyton Manning have to drive the majority of the field to win the game.
I would like to see this decision as a lack of confidence in our capabilities as a protection units to come up with big plays to win the game. If I am Jerod Mayo, Gary Guyton, Darius Butler, Jonathan Wilhite, Brandon Meriweather and Brandon McGowan - to name a few - I wonder why we do not have the opportunity to what has already been trained on the first day we practiced.
