And boy did he demonstrate why they had so little confidence in him.

Yeah, kinda circular, huh?

You know I'm just remembering it now but one thing that puzzled me was that earlier in the game, the Ravens were fourth and 1 inside the five yard line and they settled for a field goal.

I thought that was strange because it was really fourth and inches.

Now I don't know why the quarterback sneak has gone out of style but teams prefer to have the QB run back five yards, hand it off to the running back, and by that time, the defense has 1) figured out its not an option play and 2) pushed back on the offense line between the guards.

But back to the subject, had they gone for it then, a first down would have led to 4 points, which would have been a winning margin, and if they had failed, then instead of going for a tying field goal with this kicker they would have been going for the winning touchdown.

I know. I can't let it go. I keep going over it in my mind.

Just walk away Chyrn, accept the fact the Pats always manage to win by 1 or 2 plays that could have gone the other way, but they never do......

I can't. I know I should but I'm having trouble dealing with this. LOL.

You are still in the Bargaining phase...lol

Really, I thought I was in the depression stage, that final one before acceptance. LOL. I guess I'm not far enough along.
