LOSERS ASSEMBLE IN SMALL GROUPS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COACHES AND OTHER PLAYERS - WEEK TEN 2009

trent dilfer is infuriated about this, he is just yelling and screaming, it's like this was the last straw for him, the cheating scandal was one thing but HOW DARE BELICHICK MAKE SUCH A CALL. honestly i'm not sure that he's ever watched an eagles or chargers game if he really thinks this was the worst thing that's ever come from a coach's mind.

*RETWEETS*

hahaha wait where is trent dilfer doing this? deion sanders loves the call, btw, because belichick has swagger, and thinks the official was wrong to call it short of the first down.

on espn's "sports shouting"! but now it's berman making his "tweet! tweet! whoop!" noises :(

The more I actually watch the 4th down play the more I am like "Well OK that is pretty defensible, and that spot might have gotten pushed forward on review", but burning the timeouts is what I do not really understand.

it's not so much the concept of the call itself, it's that they were on the 28 yard line, and they had no time outs, and then called a play that didn't make a lot of sense to me.

but, like, in the general scheme of "stupid shit coaches have done" it doesn't even hold a candle to, like, that whole "eagles didn't realize a game could end in a tie" debacle, for example.

or andy reid kicking a field goal the other week

if any analyst realizes that this was not about "arrogance" or "swagger" i'm going to send them a thank-you note.

also forgot to mention that the pats were without their "best" olb tully banta-cain and could basically not substitute linebackers.

every play is about swagger this week, didn't you get the memo

everything is about ham & swagger

ham & swagger should be the title of some aamn thing

oh well. a play or two goes the other way..

most def like watching that 2006 afc title game.. you know it won't end well

espn replays maurice jones-drew end zone celebration - what was that?!

CAD is mostly otm with his analysis there. the NE defense had died. indy had taken the ball 80 yards in 2 mins twice in that quarter. 2y of offense i would guess was the more sound option statistically by a mile. any other coach in the league make that call? say what you will but that dude has gigantic testicles and they have and will win more often because of that than lose. the move should've been matched by a slightly ballsier play call tho.

but they didn't lose the game on that play - they lost it on those two turnovers in the red zone when they already knew that they were down to the bare bones on defense and needed to help them out. pretty boneheaded turnovers too i thought.

btw the fact that the pats got out-adjusted is particularly galling given the fact that the colts are coached by the inflatable autopilot from "airplane!"

or a guy that was fired by WAKE FOREST

it's the punchline that writes itself

lol

enjoy your interesting, exciting football while it lasts because here come the browns tonight!

went to bed early last night, guess i missed a pretty good game huh

never go to bed early imo

i remember tuning in at one point and NE was up by like 17 or something and i was just like 'eh fuck it'

Yeah, ^^^ this.

Now someone else plz beat the Colts (and NO) and everything will be okay. They can both go 15 -- 1, tho.

pats will beat NO i think

still SMH over here
maybe i'll get over it during the monday night game OH WAIT THE BROWNS ARE PLAYING ;_;

i am actually obligated to watch tonight because i need about 13 points from rice, lewis, and lolhauschka to win in ilnfl fantasy.

besides i like seeing mangini fail.

i hate him and want him to fail, this is true!

fierce moobs is maybe the funniest phrase in existence.

not sure if my link will work but it should be a really long paper about why you should pretty much always go for it on 4th down.

thanks for sharin bro

Adam_Schefter ESPN's Michael Smith reporting that Larry Johnson is en route to Cincinnati, and barring a breakdown, is expected to sign with Bengals.

we're getting closer then

Taken on its own, there's a certain logic in going for it on 4th and 2 in this situation.

But it was batshit insane given the poor clock management and bad play calls on that play and throughout the 4th quarter (offense and defense).

The Pats needed to commit to their running game in the 4th and just slow everything down and eat up as much clock as possible. Instead they tried lots of failed passing plays and then let the Colts speed down the field.

And tossing it to Faulk right at the 1st down line was wrong, wrong, wrong. There were several better options, just not that.

Rodney Harrison choking back the tears in the after game show damn near broke my heart.

BTW, is Rodney Harrison vs. Tony Dungy an extension of the GREATEST RIVALRY OF ALL TIME?

Ugh, I don't want Larry Johnson upsetting the balance in Cincy! They're going to the AFC championship this year.

it looked like faulk caught the 4th down pass across the 30 for a first down.

but bobbled it

But it was batshit insane given the poor clock management and bad play calls on that play and throughout the 4th quarter (offense and defense).

i'm not sure how the clock management and other calls affect this one? if anything they added to the sense of urgency and the fact that the pats really needed to steal one.

Honestly don't think this game mattered at all. New England and Indy will both win their divisions, and will probably play the Colts in the playoffs and be healthier when it happens. A lot of hubbub over very little.
