In Belichick We (No Longer) Trust

First, I apologize for any “NSFW” (Not Suitable for Work) content in this post.  Since I can’t sleep tonight, here’s a post.  Republican/Democrat/Libertarian/Anarchist, we all are the same tonight!

Let me give you a preview of a headline from later this season. “Colts; 2nd team in 3 years to go 16-0”.  This once thought to be impossible task is now meaningless because of a bonehead decision made on 11/15 by an arrogant Belichick who went for it on 4th and 2 FROM HIS OWN 28…AGAINST PEYTON ‘EFFING MANNING!

What was he thinking? Seriously!  I’m listening to all of the Belichick apologists on the radio…Smerlas and Andy Grech I’m talking about you and all of the other idiot callers!  Yes, he goes for it on 4th Down more than any other coach.  That is an accurate statement.  However, who goes for it on your own 28 against one of the best QBs of all time.  Everyone is saying that “all he did was put the game in the hands of his best player”.  Again, another accurate statement.  AGAIN, HOWEVER does every player make the play 100% of the time?  The answer is no, obviousfuc$ingly!  It is the coach’s job to put the TEAM in the best position to win, regardless if you have a hall-of-fame QB!  They didn’t make the 1st down, so what is the better position to be in…Give the ball to Manning on your 30 down by 6 with 2 minutes to go OR give the ball to Manning (the same Manning who had thrown 2 interceptions) on HIS 30-35 with less than 2 minutes needing to drive 65-70 yards to take the lead.  If that happens, FINE!  It would suck, but Belichick would not have handed the game to him.

Also, did you hear this guy in the post-game press conference?  It was 4th and 2 and he kept saying ‘I thought we could get that yard…We should have been able to get one yard…I don’t understand how we didn’t get a yard with that catch’…A$$HOLE, you did get ONE yard!  You needed to get TWO yards!  We’ve become accustomed to his short, curt answer when they lose.  We say “That’s OK.  It’s just Bill being Bill.”  Really?  The how come “Manny being Manny” was bad but “Bill being Bill” is good?  This decision is inexcusable!  This ranks up there with Grady Little. 

You don’t think so?  Pedro comes out of the game.  Everything, including the in-bred redneck shakes his hand and pats him on the back congratulating him.  His night was done and let’s turn it over to the bullpen…4th and 2 and they call their last timeout.  Why?  Fuhhgetaboutit!  OK, they’re gonna come out and punt the ball and turn it over to his defense or, AT WORST, try to draw them offside to get a 1st down.  What message does it give his defense that he didn’t trust them to stop Manning from going 65-70 yards in a 2-minute playset that he needed to go for it ON HIS OWN 28!!!!  This is the same defense that executed the defensive scheme Belichick put in for most of the game.    

His arrogance influenced his game management skills tonight.  We all know that he would have loved to say that HE (not the TEAM) ended the Colts’ undefeated season by going for it on 4th and 2 ON HIS OWN 28!  The Patriots played well enough to win the game but his decision single-handedly loss the game.  END OF FUC&IN’ STORY!

I don’t want to hear the rationale of “Let’s not focus on the 4th and 2” play.  Let’s focus on the game as a whole”.  Fuck that!  The 4th and 2 WAS THE GAME!

This SUCKS!!!!  I’m not going to be able to sleep and I think I’m going to puke.  I’m serious!

Feel free to post comments, even you apologists out there.  I’m going to take a double shot of NyQuil and then take a melatonin to try to sleep.  Have I mentioned that this sucks!

This weekend sucked!  Belichick blows the game, the Celts lose two games, the Bruins blew YET ANOTHER GAME, USC got blown out at HOME, and the Nichols football team went 4-6.
