Exclamation Do you ever want to LET a team score???
First off, I understand their thinking....BUT....With so many crazy things that can happen do you ever really want to GIVE AWAY the lead in the Super Bowl? Bad snaps, strips, missed FGs....etc. Tony Romo knows all about it...

Did NE really do the right thing letting NY score at the end? I'll always wonder why you'd ever want to intentionally GIVE UP the lead.

Was under a minute with one time out really worth it?

Anyone?

I think they did the right thing.

Look how many open passes Pats receivers dropped in that last :50 seconds. If they caught a lot of those they would have had a much better chance to get in the endzone.

Its boils down to this.

What gives you a better chance to win.

Praying the other team misses an Xtra Point

or

Driving the field with almost a minute left on clock with one of better offense's in the NFL

You're blind if you don't think NE stood up at the end and let Bradshaw go in....it was obvious for Helen Keller.

Clearly let him score and it was the only chance the Pats had to attempt a come back. Other wise they bleed the clock down and kick a field goal for the win. Common sense. Thank God it didn't work though

I'm still on the fence with it.....Wilfork blocked a few kicks this year and bad snaps do happen. Plus how many fumbles did the Giants get lucky with tonight?!

You have to put the ball in Brady's hands with 1 TO and about a min left

Do you want Brady to have the ball with 1 minute or 30 seconds. Let them score and take your chance.

It is all Wes Welker's fault

Wilfork was horrible and man handled the entire game.

blame should go to the Pats OLine. Couldn't stop a 4 man rush all night. Belly got out worked, by the simplest strategy
