  • Under The Hoodie - There Is No Doubt It Was The Right Choice There has been an inordinate amount of piling on the Patriots coasch over the last few days since Bill Belichick went for for it on fourth down on his own 28 against the Colts. It is very easy to question this call, and it makes great sports radio and blog fodder. However let's not pile on, but think about why, and talk about how a calculated risk is not such a bad move.

    No doubt the Patriots were in control of this game. Also no doubt that the New England Defense was on for the first three quarters. Another no doubt is that this is not even an issue if Maroney doesn't fumble in the Red Zone.

    There was no doubt that the Colts made an adjustment. There is also no doubt that Manning can score quickly and efficiently at any time. There was no doubt that the Patriots defense was tired from fighting out the first three quarters.

    Most would agree that Tom Brady and the offense could get 2 yards. You and I both would bet on it, over them not making it, any day of the week. The Patriots were going to have to play defense no matter what. A long field with a tired defense could create an easy big play for the Colts and Manning. We all know that the Red Zone shortens the field and makes it more difficult for any offense. No doubt Belichick thought of this and gambled. It's not that he didn't trust his defense, he chose the gamble of putting them on a shorter field and thinking they had to stop the Colts anyway.

    Brady passed to Faulk, executed the play, the ball was bobbled, and in the NFL that is enough time to not make the first down. Was it a crazy gamble? For any other team yes, but not Patriots. Belichick felt his best chance to win the game was with his offense. The idea that his defense is upset over the call is silly. The NFL is not high school, it is professional football. His gamble did not work, oh well. Sometimes your gut is what you have to trust. It has gotten Belichick to the top and is a necessary tool for a great coach. I would rather have a coach that takes a chance on what he feels is his best chance to win, than just going with conventional wisdom. That's why most teams are average, they take no chances and have no balls.

    There is a ton of season left. No one knows where or how this game will affect the Patriots. No matter who you are, you do not want to play the Patriots in the playoffs at home or on the road.

    They will get another chance at the Colts.

  • ONE OF THE ELITE The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line exhibited superb cohesion Monday night in protecting their QB Ben Roethlisberger, while facing a stout Denver Bronco defense at Mile High. Defenses giving Big Ben that amount of time to throw to receivers Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, and tight end Heath Miller is the equivalent of drinking a glass of paint thinner over Dom Perignon. Throw in some gaping holes the size of the ones the 1990’s Cowboys O-line would open for Emmitt Smith for the youthful legs of Rashard Mendenhall and it is going to be a long night for any defensive coordinator. A primitive example of the old saying, “the game is won in the trenches.” A line that is applicable against the evolution of the game.

    Witnessing the second half adjustments the Steelers defense executed is the development of a championship caliber defense in every facet. Great in the adjustments, the coaches concocted down to the beautiful textbook execution by the players. Further, it is a testament to the scouting department in enabling the player personnel department to bring in players that are compatible with the coaches’ schemes. Troy Polamalu exemplifies such. There has never been a better safety to have graced an NFL field. Polamalu is capable of changing the momentum of a game on any one single play. Plainly put he is a menace to opposing offenses. Quarterbacks and potential blockers have to be aware of him at all times. The Steelers defense was lacking his threatening presence in his absence. Throw him back into the mix and there isn’t a more lethal defense in the NFL. Defense wins championships.

    That intriguing juncture has arrived in the course of the NFL season in week 10 when some teams that came out of the gate on fire have had their flames extinguished. While other teams that were chastised by their home fans for being a disappointment, have discovered a spark of hope in the last few weeks in priming themselves for a potential run.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers should be considered the most well balanced team in the NFL heading into week 10. Stay tuned NFL fans stay tuned.
