Pats got out coached. That’s right I said it. I have yet to hear a good excuse for passing on the field goal and going for it on 4th and 13, field position doesn’t cut it because if you miss the field goal you are only losing eight yards, if you punt, you angle it out and pin the Giants at the 10. You do not gamble like that in the super bowl and the blitz zero package when the Giants scored the touchdown at the end was a ridiculous call.

I have never been so happy to see a team get beat because I have never liked Bill Belichick and his actions at the end of the game (I know 1 second seems minimal) lacked class. However, given his 4th and 13 decision and the Rams allegation before the game, he was probably trying to make it to the border.

To be fair, I don’t believe that Bellickeck knew there was time left on the clock.
