What was he thinking???? Patriots defense gets kicked in the balls by their coach

[The Dad Fisherman]

I thought I'd share an e-mail I got from my Bro-in-law on the game...I had asked him what he thought about the decision.....I laughed my ass off when I got his answer.

"Not what I would have done............but I don't think it was as bad of a call as the Boston media does.

There were 4 worse reasons why they lost....

Lawrence Maroney stinks
Lawrence Maroney fumbled
Lawrence Maroney runs like a girl
Lawrence Maroney is the worst RB in the NFL

You know why Belichick should be criticized? Because he keeps playing Lawrence Maroney! "

You have the ball on your 20, up 6, and the opposition is down to one time out left with the clock winding down to the 2 minute warning.

So of course, you help them out by calling your last two time outs on that possession--which also bankrupts your challenge account, so you can't even challenge the spot on the 4th down play.

You want to talk about boneheaded coaching moves--there's one you can chew on

And of course the play you call on 4th down is one where the receiver runs a stop pattern right to the first down marker, instead of the inside slant to Moss, which was open all night. Or a quick out in the flat to Welker, who you just know they would have had to kill to keep short of the 30.
