arrogance and Wade do not equate

he's the self-deprecating, extremely defensive Wade Phillips

Yup. There's a time and place for such a risk, but that's not it.

Wow, just watched NFL Network. Looked like the Pats was screwed on that 4th down play. Gotta look at it again. Although it's Bellicek, I don't care lol.

He did bobble it, but I think he caught it right on the 30.... Regardless, they lost. Couldn't challenge it because of the other stupid moves, calling all those timeouts.

It wasn't as stupid as it will be made out to be, but it was certainly arrogant. What I like about it is that you win the game right away, Indy has to score a TD, and Manning looked hard to stop on the previous drive.

What's bad about it is pretty obvious. Short field, you lose if they score.

One thing I would have done different: If I knew I were going to go for it on fourth down I would have run the ball on third down.

Regardless, that is something you just don't do unless it is 4th and an inch, and even then you have to punt it I think

he'll get a pass .. it's the pats .. now if the cowboys did something like that........

It was a crazy call, especialy for Belichik and he'll get torched, but he has 3 rings and 4 Super Bowls to justify whatever pass he gets.

Cowboys have done nothing to earn a pass in the last decade

they should have made the first down though, Faulk ran a terrible route, even if he caught it clean it might have been short.

Forget that.

It was stupid and beyond arrogant.

2 minutes left, I'd rather have the opposing offense go 70 yards than 29 yards.

Furthermore, Bill the Cheat said it loudly, without muttering a word, that 'I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE DEFENSE.'

That's why I loathed Barry going for it, and we had a lot less to go and playing against a heavy wind. You gotta trust your defense in that situation.

But ole Bill had to show the entire world how big of a genius he is. Been this way for over 20 years.

There's a fine line between guts and stupidity

I honestly don't know *** he was thinking
I can't disagree with you at all. I still respect him as the game's greatest coach, but that was idiotic.

You do that against a Jason Campbell (shut up Wade, don't even think it), not a Peyton Manning.

No, he gets a pass because hes has multiple rings.

Did anyone else see his bodyguard throw a NFL camera man to the ground?
