you two done stroking each others, um, egos yet? okay, good. now pay attention.
cowher made the right call. at that point, any winning scenario involved keeping the patriots out of the end zone on the subsequent drive. had the defense done that, you would have remained within striking distance past the 5 minute mark - which is all you could ask after having been down 21 at the half.
but I guess that isn't enough of an "answer", where "answer" is defined as lockstep agreement with a frustrated non-objective fan.
had the defense done that, you would have remained within striking distance past the 5 minute mark --- not cool! I'm not crazy about being behind by 11 points with (as you say) 5 minutes to go against the defending World Champs!!!!. I'm feeling a lot better about the outcome of the game if the Steerlers would have been successful on that 2 yard line -- only 7 points behind then with nearly a whole quarter to play,.......... and what I think you may be MISSING, the crowd would have been going NUTS on that next Patriot possession! It would have been a madhouse! God knows, the Patriots might have coughed it up, made a mistake in that environment on their next possession.
Anyhow , this is proper back and forth! Good. Now it's your chance to reply to my two answers to you.... if you wish to.
Well, I'm back and what a great day it's been. Really important things happening in spite of our steel cage football match.
Now, regarding answers I never heard your answer to why the PASS ON SECOND DOWN WAS A BAD CALL. Not that it matters since it's obvious now you just heard it from others and decided to parrot their decision.
One other painfully obvious observation, your comment " people who know more than you do pay me for my analysis.".
Now that's just precious. I see why your motto in life is "some people are dumb".
Cheers...and grow up...soon!
