OK so the 4th and 2 backfired, this is a team with a history of going for it on 4th down. I also disagree with the masses that this was a slap in the face for the defense, I think it was just the opposite: a strong recognition that the Pats D had stopped Peyton several times throughout the game.

A recovery option (for a fast thinking coach) was to let the Colts score quickly, like on the running play where the tackle was made at the 1 yard line which permitted Indy to run down the clock. If he scored at that point there was about 1:10 left on the clock. Instead, Mr B was too busy taking off his headphones and hanging his head in defeat.

A similar strategy was attempted earlier in the day in the Jets/Jag game, but the Jag running back thought quickly and took a knee on the 1 yd line which allow the Jags to run down the clock and kick a field goal for the win. The Colts would have scored no ands-if-or-buts if given the opportunity to do so at their earliest opportunity.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
