And as for Petes blunder for not running it, not enough credit is given to Bill for looking across the field and realizing the Seahawks were waiting on the Pats to call a timeout. Bill and his humongous stones, not only prepped for the situation but did not follow norms by not calling the timeout. IMO played a large part in this terrible playcall.

Pats fan out. Need to at least defend the glory days

I have to say that after watching Bill Belichick on the Manning Cast this season,I’m totally in awe of his football mind. Whenever he came on that show he knew everything about every player on every team. He never mailed it in. Whenever he commented on the player’s actions what they should be doing versus what they were doing he was 100% always right.

Agreed and same with Peyton. That show is a great format when you aren’t too invested in a game.

I mean the Hawks still had a timeout so I think that looks like genius only in hindsight. Had the Seahawks simply run the ball into the end zone it would have looked pretty bad to let those seconds elapse.

Disagree man. BB Dr Stranged the shit out of that situation. There was under a minute left in the game, Pats are not getting the ball back w enough time to score, regardless of stopping the clock. Obvs Hawks should not have passed and called their own timeout but truly feel they froze under the pressure… you have to chalk some of that up to BB. AND Hawks should never have had that field position w that ridiculous Kearse catch (and do not get me going on David Tyree)… either way, much respect to a brain that zigs when everyone else’s zags.
Let’s Go Lions

Yeah I’ll disagree on that and what you think is genius could just as easily have been rolling over, but where I think the zig v zag admiration is warranted is things like going for it when the statistics say yes but everyone else says you’re crazy. He was a pioneer in the NFL as far as opting for statistics over loss aversion. NFL coaches were making the wrong choice in those scenarios 90% of the time. Bellichick got beat up for it but the league has since started to lean into economics more so that figure has probably gone down.
High school coach Kevin Kelley deserves the credit for bringing this approach into football, and Bellichick deserves the credit for paying attention and having the guts to try it. He doesn’t deserve credit for Carroll making a dumb decision.

Agree to disagree but respect your take

Respectful of other people’s football opinions?!?! Well now I’ve seen it all.
If @mclaincausey came at me with that kind of talk about Harbaugh I’d release the most insane, incoherent, and profanity laced response imaginable. Go Ravens!
