Coach Bellichick's Gamble

Obviously, the talk of this Monday Morning has been That Colts-Patriots Game Last Night.
Here's the Situation:
It's a fourth and two. You lead 35-28. You have a fourth and two. If you don't get it, you give the NFL's Best Field General A Thirty Yard Field instead of a 70 yard field.
What do you do? What did Coach Bill Bellichick Do?
He went for it.

Peyton Manning then leads the Colts down the field for the win, includng that unbelievable catch by Reggie Wayne for the Win!

Back to the call by Bellichick to go for it, As a coach, you have enough faith in the team to say "Surely, My Team can get Two Yards!" And, If Kevin Faulk does not Bobble the ball, The Patriots have a First down! Let's not forget in year's past, The Colts had a great offense, but they had a horrible defense! Let's say The Patriots get that first down, they have a first down at the thity one, and the Patriots would have been able to pad on to that six point lead.

So Many Bloggers and analysts are Monday Morning Quarterbacking with this call. This was a good agressive call that did not pan out.

What A Ballgame Last Night!
