I don&#x27;t have the game anymore are you kidding me 4th and 8??

J_Money420 · Answer

hahaha what do they have to lose

KBrick84 · Answer

Come on man, you&#x27;ve been around forever.  They were on the 30...they weren&#x27;t gonna try 45&#x2B; in the snow..and they weren&#x27;t going to punt.  So the obvious choice was going for it on 4th down.

VGPOP · Answer

Style points are important in the NFL.

vanzack · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;You cant be serious.&#xD;&#xA;Going for it is the obvious strategy because they were on the 30 and it is snowing....&#xD;&#xA;BUT IT IS 52-0!!!&#xD;&#xA;You cant be serious....

Serb89 · Answer

Thats what they do.

jhiggz219 · Answer

4th an 5. On 30 are they going to punt? Or kick a 46 yard field goal?

CMJohnson1 · Answer

I believe it was 4th and 5...and it was a little deep for the field goal attempt.

StrictlyPicks · Answer

go over &#x2B;17

vanzack · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;IT IS 52-0.

KBrick84 · Answer

I&#x27;m dead serious.  This is Bellichick in a nutshell...he&#x27;s always been this way.  So &#x27;Losing&#x27; his mind has nothing to do with.  It&#x27;s his offenses job to score...and the defenses job to stop them regardless of the score....especially with a 2nd stringer out there.Anybody would&#x27;ve gone for it, the NICE thing to do...would have been to run the ball.

murray24 · Answer

ahh more understandable I guess given field postion but still I really wish I was watching the game.

how can YOU not believe it?

jhiggz219 · Answer

I realize the score, but I would love to know what you would do.  30 yard line kick the field goal or punt?

KBrick84 · Answer

It has ZERO to do with score, Zack...you should know this. He was in a no win situation punting or attempting the long FG in the snow. He allowed his 2nd string QB to make a play...and the defense couldn't stop it...it's that simple.

teasterK · Answer

lol . wtf such a retarded thread . 4th and 5 on 30 yards line .ur up huge at home . u wanna kick a fucking 47 yards fg in the snow ? . lol . u are a true knucklehead

vanzack · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;I guess Im in the minority here...&#xD;&#xA;I just think being up 52-0, and facing a 4th and whatever on whatever yard line, you probably dont throw the ball.&#xD;&#xA;You could run up the middle, you could punt, you could attempt a FG - all of those options are probably better than passing the ball.&#xD;&#xA;Im not an apologist - Im not upset by it - Im just surprised.  I think its newsworthy because I think there might be 1 or 2 coaches in the NFL who would have done the same thing.

kittsd · Answer

Run it up the middle - if you get it shame on the D

teasterK · Answer

the thing it surprised me is titan went 13-3 last year and they are absolutely horrible this year . they play like a high school team . no respect for them at all . even pat's back up are beating them up

vanzack · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;What I would do is not important.&#xD;&#xA;I am saying that going for it by passing is something that probably only one coach in the NFL would do, and that makes it unusual - and frankly Im even surprised bellichick did it.

teasterK · Answer

vince young&#x27;s first throw go the other way . LOL .

VGPOP · Answer

People, the correct solution with this particular score was to punt.

Punt a short kick and try to put it deep in their territory or touchback.

Simple as that.

What's the worst it could happen?

Block punt return for TD for a close 52-7 scoring?

Block punt?

You punt there, no questions asked.
