Completely different situation. Giants were down. They were also past midfield.

Panthers were up. We were just about on midfield IIRC. Falcons only needed 3 points to win.

Not saying we shouldn't have gone for it. I guess we underestimated our defenses suckiness. But I doubt Coughlin goes for it if he was in Rivera's shoes. Situations really aren't comparable.

We were at the 45 and IMO it really wasn't that different of a situation. I think the other big thing is both us and the Giants were on the road. I think you're more inclined to go for it on 4th and 1 late there, or at least should be in order to end it. The point remains the same because either way, if you go conservative, you're hoping your defense holds and doesn't give up any points. If the Giants fail there, Eagles get the ball with outstanding field position and a chance to go up 2 scores with only a quarter to go.

Belichick also isn't afraid to try to win a game. Doesn't always work.....but when you can end a game. End a game. 1 yard on the road....go get it

This.

LOL at all of you that are pissed we didn't go for it. If they stop us there they have the ball at midfield... Think we would have stopped them???? Cause we sure as hell couldn't stop them from their own 1 yd line.

What's truely "LOL" is that you just proved why we SHOULD have went for it...

LOL indeed.

Yeah, you answered your own question. It didn't matter. Only way you stop them is by not giving them the ball back.

We would have had a better chance of scoring a touchdown than stopping them from getting a field goal.

Giants.....championship-level team.

Panthers.....team led by owner more concerned about league than product on field.

Now the Gaints are championship-level team.

Many on here felt this team was better than them because of the media hype.

FYI, any team can be beaten on any given Sunday. You just need a coach who isn't afraid to take the heat and takes changes and a team who play their role and not leave everything up to their QB.

This is what bothers me. Any other team and the media would have been questioning the decision of the coach. But it's the Panthers so let's blame the QB because he fumbled and recover his ball.

You know how that must have messed up the mojo of his team...SMDH I can't believe how soft this team is but it's Cam the media rather go after at every turn because they want another Vince Young. You the media loves to repeat their accomplishments.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
