He said it was his momentum:

"Eli was telling me to go down,” Bradshaw said, via Brendan Prunty of the Newark Star-Ledger. “He was saying, ‘Don’t score! Don’t score!’ I grabbed the ball and it really didn’t click at the 1-yard line, so I tried to put myself down. But my momentum just took me in."

It looks to me that he DEFINITELY did it on purpose. If you look he had started stopping his momentum at around the 3/4 yard line. He was in the perfect position to do a QB slide type of move before he reached the goal line. He had more than enough time from my eyes to stop his momentum. I think he just had the thought "how often do you get a chance to score a GW TD" for that split second...and tossed his ass in lol. (and I just reviewed the play 10 times so I'm not just BS'ing)

I honestly don't think it was momentum, and no, I don't think it was because of selfishness in wanting to score a super bowl TD. Who the f***wants a touchdown? Players want the win.

If he went down at the one-yard line, they run down the clock, and the kicker misses the field goal, Bradshaw would never be able to forgive himself for giving up a free score. I think he was just unsure whether or not to go down and at the last second just decided to go ahead and score.

Yeah definitely didn't do that on purpose, don't know how one would think of that. Patriots were smart in what they did and it took Bradshaw by surprise and couldn't stop himself. Should have extended the ball the opposite way hah.

it would've been much smarter to let them score a minute earlier so brady could have more time to get downfield but, hey, you know, beligenius always makes the right decisions in crunch time

      I am ok with him as a pick, but not at 19.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I want something else, but I've got to say I think we grab an OT in the first. We are looking at future issues at OT on both sides of the line after this season (and that's IF there are no further injuries). If Icky can come back, he's going to be somewhat expensive. Moton is winding down his career (and I hate to see him go, but his cost vs value curve is tightening up about as fast as his sciatica is on Monday mornings).  In a perfect world, we grab the best OT available and let him learn behind Rasheed Walker, Moton and the rest of our experienced linemen. If Icky comes back next year or late this season, that's great. If not, and Walker proves to be too expensive, we have our guy in place. If Icky does come back, we slide the guy to OT and move ahead, with five years of reasonable costs for OT. If I had my drothers, though, I want a TE or MLB right off the bat, the best one available.  Just not another WR.  We need to let our current trio cook a bit more. I'm not completely given up on XL. Third season tells the tale on WRs and he deserves at least that. Plus, on first rounders, grab someone who is involved in either every offensive or defensive play. Get the mileage guys here.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By Basbear · Posted

      Here is my current guess about the first round, I feel Proctor is in the 8-25 group. Id personally draft him as high as 5th overall and be very happy. Again I don't understand the hate and lollololollolllo @ the 2nd round talk and you are right there lots of it.  You got Frank at everyone's #1, then my guess its bailey at #2, then a run of 4 OSU studs and now you are in fog of who or what is next. Love * should go no lower than 7th.....From that 8 pick to 25, its a mess. The whole draft doesn't have a good consensus like years before. Many players feel like 15 pick on this team board and 52nd pick on others.
