Bill Belichick lost his "genius" label tonight and here are the reasons...
1. You don't pass up a 49 yard field goal attempt early in the game in favor of going for it on a 4th and 13.
2. You don't abandon what got you there for the majority of the game.... 45 minutes of the game the Pats abandoned their patented short passing game in favor of trying to air it out. The times when the Pats were able to move the ball were when they were passing underneath to Welker and Faulk but inexplicably instead of doing this the entire game they have Brady drop back in attempts to air the ball out downfield. Foolish move by Belichick.
3. You have 29 seconds left and 3 time outs so what do you do??? You try airing the ball out once again instead of taking gains of 10-15 yards and marching down the field. Idiotic.
So Mr. Belichick, you are a very good coach but you sir are no genius. |

| Not running out some clock before the Moss TD fucked them over though the other things you pointed out are true. Still Belichick doesn't play o-line as Brady had not time at all to throw. He is still one of the greatest coaches ever. |

Agree.
When a defense is able to rush and get to the QB, a team should set up short inside routes and passes out to the flats. It's basic football 101.
What makes the 29 seconds and 3 timeouts worse is that all you needed was a field goal. Short passes to wes or faulk and set up the FG. |

Great coaches don't make bonehead decisions when they are in the big game though and Belichick definitely did that.
I almost added a #4 but I decided to give Belichick a pass on it. #4 would have been... you don't spend your teams entire offensive series sitting down with the defense when your offense is having trouble moving the ball. I only gave him the pass on that since he is more noted as a defensive coach but he could have done something more for his offense in the early part of the game. |

No shit right? A 4th and 5 or less I could make an argument for but a 4th and 13 in a 7-3 game is a serious mistake. |

he should have at least played field position and did a pooch punt and bury the Giants deep if he didn't think the field goal was possible. |

Nah, you kick the field goal regardless. If you don't trust your kicker to make a 49 yd field goal in an enclosed stadium he shouldn't be on your team. |

i totally agree, especially since he was 3 for 5 from that distance during the regular season. |

| The way he stormed off the field with 1 second left on the game was classless act from a classless ass. I'm glad those cheaters lost. |

On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them.
But when the shoe's on the other foot, and Bill Belichick's team has been beaten, he can't sit there and take the pain for a few seconds.
With :01 left on the clock, and his team just having failed on a last chance 4th down effort, Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake, and then bolted for the locker room. Belichick's an important guy and everything, but I wasn't aware that the league had given him the authority to decide when games end.
There's time left on the clock, his team's been humbled, outplayed, and lost their chance at history ... and Bill Belichick doesn't have the stomach to sit there and absorb the pain until the clock read 0:00.
That's unsportsmanlike at best, disrespectful at least, and at worst, it makes him a big sissy.
Because Bill Belichick wanted to go hide when he lost, the field ended up being flooded with people, and the officials had to clear the area before the Giants could take their final snap and make it official. When you lose, you take your loss. You don't leave early because it makes you feel sad inside. Your opponent deserves more respect than that.
Anyone remember in 2004 when Randy Moss left the sidelines with two seconds left in a Vikings vs. Redskins game? Moss was selfish, a baby, a quitter, didn't respect his teammates, and didn't respect the game. Belichick just did the same thing, but did it on the biggest possible stage, and did it from the position of a leader of men.
Maybe there's something to be said for the inability to lose well ... most great winners don't lose well, and a sore loser is still a loser.
But still, if you're an adult, you finish out the game, and you give your opponents the stage and the respect they deserve. |

I wouldnt say lost his "genius" but damn, what the fuck was he thinking about that FG opportunity :mad: Gostkowski made a couple from 53 yards before the game, so I dont know what Bill was thinking. It was also bad on his part for walking off the field with 1 second left...it will just add fuel to the hate that most of the media and fans have towards him...
Biggest upset in NFL history!!! Congrats to the Giants and their fans!! Enjoy it :hw: |

| How could they have had single coverage on Plaxico with Hobbs on that game winning td pass? I mean, if you're not gonna double cover him, at least put Samuel on him, no? |
