I am not against the call but it didn't turn out well for the Patriots. <br /><br />I was born in 1980 and I have only experienced the hatred of the Duke Blue Devils over the last 10-15 years. I guess today's Duke was UNC back in the day. I guess I am just a little surprised how no one hates UNC. Maybe I live too far in UNC country to experience this. <br /><br />Roy Williams is an ace recruiter, I will give him that. His "aw shucks" act gets a little bit old. Coach K is evil and he knows it. I respect Roy Williams as a recruiter but I wish he wasn't so "aw shucks" about everything and just admit he is as ruthless and rule bending as every other successful coach.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-12854609176108891492009-11-16T10:46:19.617-05:002009-11-16T10:46:19.617-05:00Also, the Colts blitzed on the fourth down play, w...Also, the Colts blitzed on the fourth down play, which violates TMQ's "Everyone who blitzes loses" rule.KentAllardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034050997693995004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-39890474090723274212009-11-16T10:12:50.318-05:002009-11-16T10:12:50.318-05:00It was a horrible call by the Pats.

Sure they had been ripping the Pat defense for the last 5 minutes but everyone's (media) acting like it was guranteed that they would drive right down and score. The Colts got the ball after the 4th down and scored with :15 seconds left. I knwo they took a little time but still make them go 65 yds. The pressure's still on them. Even if the Pats make the 4th down it's still overall a poor decision. <br />Growing up in a MD home in the 70s and 80s you also were learned to dispise UNC and knew Dean Smith got every call. God had to be on vacation for you to beat them because they seemed so freaking lucky too. Today's MD youth despise Duke a lot more than UNC. I get it but if you were born before 1980 you hate Carolina with all your heart. I'd rather Duke than UNC anyday. UNC is the only ACC team I will not root for when they play out of conference. I never thought I'd dislike a UNC coach more than Dean Smith but Roy Williams is Satan. He's the phoniest and biggest douche in the NCAAs today.<br />When Bias single handily beat UNC in 86 and gave UNC their first lost at the Dean Dome, it was better than winning it all.Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309871029061042816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-83543981269727319462009-11-16T07:44:27.904-05:002009-11-16T07:44:27.904-05:00Actually, I am a little bit torn on this one. I kn...Actually, I am a little bit torn on this one. I know the Colts were really close to their goal line if the Patriots did not convert, so that was a huge risk. But I get what Belichick was thinking, you have Brady as your quarterback, if Manning gets the ball back he is probably going to score no matter what so you try and keep the ball. <br /><br />Of course I also see that punting the ball and making Manning drive further makes sense. I liked the gutsy call but it was probably too gutsy. <br /><br />I thought of the same thing Martin, what is TMQ going to say? I thought fortune favored the bold?Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-41509541874766916402009-11-16T01:07:09.714-05:002009-11-16T01:07:09.714-05:00Can't agree more Fred.Can't agree more Fred.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-18376135469593542422009-11-15T23:57:49.539-05:002009-11-15T23:57:49.539-05:00I nearly threw something at my TV when I saw they ...I nearly threw something at my TV when I saw they were going for it.

Regardless, this UNC teams has some holes that this author has conveniently ignored when calling them "scary good" by the end of this year. <br /><br />I didn't want to say it because it is possibly bullshit, but his bio talks about how much he liked Paul Pierce, who was coached by Roy Williams, so he really like Williams as a coach and have a little lean towards Williams or UNC. It could be BS, but I looked at his archive and there was a semi-trend of him being impressed with UNC.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-14250365146113237162009-11-15T10:16:12.763-05:002009-11-15T10:16:12.763-05:00No need to apologize for the blind hatred of anoth...No need to apologize for the blind hatred of another team.
