Bellichick Blinks...Throws in the Towel...

When it came down to it, Bellichick flinched a couple of weeks ago, and just gave up last night. My blog, my thoughts...my words...make of it what you will.
On the way over analyzed 4th and 2 against the Colts, he screwed up. He jacked up that whole series. He blinked, gave the ball to Manning 29 yards from the winning score...pretty damned stupid, if you ask me...but what do I know?
Last evening was even better. He gave up. Down 21 points, 5 and change to go, he benches Brady, Moss, Welker... so much for playing a full 60, huh Bill?
It was okay to leave them in with 30 and 40 point leads...it was cool to go a full 60 with the starting offensive unit...it was nice to go 30 yards downfield to Moss with 30 seconds left and a big lead against the Jets a couple of weeks ago. A full 60 minutes was good, solid football.
A full 60 was good two years ago when you were crushing everyone. That was fine. But last night, for whatever reason, it wasn't required. And I could not care less what the reasons were...you all saw it...chump move.
But don't count them out. they are still talented enough to make a playoff run. I don't doubt that at all. Their track record speaks for itself.
But how great is it to to see him blink...to see him throw in the towel...if only for a couple of evenings?

You couldn't have said it better. Also, what was with him after the game. He was so excited to shake hands and hand out congratulations to everyone.
