We've seen mjd do it a few times and the FG would have been no more than an extra point

(granted they won)

Im sorry but you cant tell me you wouldn't rather give Brady only less than 20 seconds and no timeouts though

I am not sure. Ideally, you'd like to give Brady as little time as possible, but high pressure kicks have so many moving parts that can go wrong. I can't disagree with preferring the defense to hold them for another minute.

It would have literally been shorter than an extra point.

I can understand both sides, but a minute and a timeout is a huge amount of time for any Brady/manning/brees/Rodgers...I mean, weren't the first two passes incompletes because they were drops? (that first or second down one at least was and the guy had no one behind him)

Not a huge fan of the nfl, but I hate the Patriots with a passion, so glad they lost.

Went the way I thought it would. Tom Brady is great player but little Danny Woodhead and Wes Welker aren't prime time.

Maybe I'm just too conservative, but I'll take 6 on the board vs. a scenario to get 3 every single time.

Forced the Pats to score a TD instead of a FG.

You think they're so sure to score a FG, though, with less than 20 seconds, no timeouts and starting at their own 20?

That'd be a - one pass caught and tackled in bounds means they're probably pretty much in hail mary mode the next play (after the spike)

I can't really argue for or against your position. I could see myself deciding either way. I am not sure if I could turn down an opportunity to take the lead though.

Addendum: Or actually, a sack would even put them in that position

I saw the Falcons do it in 9 seconds against the Bears a couple of years ago. Either way, everything has to go right for the offense.

I can understand both arguments. However, if Hicks had managed to stay in bounds and keep the clock running after getting the first down a couple plays earlier, I would have played to center the ball and kick the field goal with no time remaining.
