In what NBC dubbed "The Rivalry of the Decade", The Patriots dominated the Colts until the 4th Quarter and found themselves up by 6 and desperately in need of a First Down or a Touchdown in order to run out the clock and win the game...Well things didn't really go as planned and when the Patriots ended up in a 4th and 2 situation with little over 2 minutes remaining, Big Bill chose to NOT to punt. The 4th Down Conversion failed. Colts Get the ball, Damn Near in the Red Zone. Later, Peyton Manning found Reggie Wayne in the end zone. Colts win by 1.
DAMN, HOMIE!!!!

UPDATE:
FOr the Record...I personally believe that Bill made a good call, but the Damn Homies are beyond my personal Opinion. Bills decision had nothing to do with a lack of confidence in his defense. If You are up 6 with 2 minutes left the last thing you want to do is give the ball to Peyton Manning. And the truth is that the Colt's would have scored regardless of where they got the ball. So Bill was playing to win the ball. If he doesn't have confidence that Tom Brady can't Convert a 4-2, then he shouldn't be coaching the New England Patriots. And to all of those people that say Belichick didn't give the Defense a chance to win the Game...1.) The Game wasn't over and even when the offense is close to the end Zone, it is still the defense's job to stop them. and 2.) When you say that the Defense wasn't given a chance to win the game, Not only are you saying that "The Defense Can't Stop this offense from this close" you are also saying that your offense in incapable of converting a 4th Down in this situation.
And what pisses me off the most about this is that I am fully confident in my abilities of perception, that if Faulk got those extra 6 inches and got the first down, these same people would be calling Bill Belichick a geneus for making such a gutsy call. Hypocrites? I wouldn't go that far yet, but we'll see what happens the next time a coach makes a Ballsy call that works.

Badass Billy B not to be confused w/ bad talt (google it) has thought of himself as the smartest guy in the room for a while now and while the percentages were with him on this call, The Colts made him pay. Great coach but its beautiful to see such an arrogant person/coach get some of his own humble pie from time 2 time.
In the words of Nelson "Ha Ha"
