i don't know, seems logical. :stupid:

Because it's 3 TDs, it's 5 minutes, and it's the NFL. One homerun catch from Moss, and an onside kick and it's a ball game. But when you're starters have no fire and are glad to quit then yeah it isn't logical.

at most they should of taken one shot at the N-Zone; which was still only risking injury for a .1% chance at reward.
then you have to get lucky & get the onside kick, then get lucky & and throw a bomb again, then get lucky & get ANOTHER onside kick & then score again LOL.
even the greatest human being of all-time, Peyton Manning & Colts couldn't pull something like that.

Peyton alone, no? But with 5 minutes left you try for the one TD on a couple deep passes to Moss. If you get it with spending no time on the clock then you are down by 2 TDs with 5 minutes and that's do-able. Unlikely, but a some big defensive plays or last minute mistakes by the Saints and you never know. I actually lost some respect for Brady when he took the benching so well. I remember in the 90s Young was benched on a Niners blowout loss and he erupted with rage. It shows what a gamer looks like. When Peyton sent the punting unit back to the bench in that playoff loss to Pit I saw the fire in his eyes. That's when he became my favorite QB in the league, maybe all time. Win or lose he was going down swinging. Moss has a history of giving up when all is lost. Brady was lucky enough in his career to never really experience it until last night. he's never had a season where playoffs were out of reach and he's never lost a big game in a blowout before. Last night he did and he looked like a chump. Call me a hater, or a Peyton dick rider. But I've always respect guys that no matter what fight to the end. Maybe it's because I'm not one of them. When I played over the years and the game was over, over, I'd just coast. I never had it in me to be an animal with 15 seconds to go in a hockey game down by 4 goals. Or 2 minutes left in a football game down by 4 TDs. I give up. So when I see someone that doesn't. I respect it.

5 and a half minutes left?? 21 points is not hard for that offense

if a guy walked into a bar & said "5 minutes left? only down 20? ehh kid, i'll bet you fourty-five TRILLION dollars that the Pats win"; i'd take that bet if Marty McFly & Doc Brown showed up in the Delorean & told me that the Pats were going to win.
but i don't expect any less from you & Shallow when discussing the Patriots lol.
