If the roles were reversed I think Belichick would have done it. Not that that means we should have.

It's a tough call. Against a team like the Patriots you want to settle for any points you can get but at this juncture in the game we had a chance to set a tone. With our offense I'd be more comfortable going for it on 4th-and-goal from the 5 than 4th-and-goal from the 1.

Considering we we're facing the Patriots I would of went for the killer blow.

All tho I think the biggest mistake of the coaching yesterday was after the FG that the Patriots got. We went 3 pass plays / 3 and out without wasting any clock time when we we're having an excellent run game yesterday.

If we had run 3 times would of had taken more clock time and even could of gave us a good chance for a play action.

4 points more wouldn't have been a killer blow.

At that position in the game, you don't go for it on fourth unless your defense is stopping their offense. Ours wasn't.

Maybe not the way they usually do, but yes, they were stopping their offense.

Let me remind you that seven of their points came from a pick 6. The only TD pass Brady threw came as a result of a 71-yard return by a guard.

At that point of the game, our offense was a whole lot more productive than theirs both on the field and on the scoreboard.

And I'll remind you, that in the 4th quarter, our defense wasn't doing a helluva lot to encourage the coach to RISK losing 3 points.

Risk of losing 3 points far outweighs the gain of the extra 4 points.

The call for a field goal was the right and only call.

I'm not sure I understand your logic.

If the defense was not giving the feeling that they were going to stop the Pats, then why wouldn't you go for the TD?
