There's just no way you can say the Colts score a TD for sure had the Pats punted, though I'll concede the odds were very good that they would have.

Gotcha. Well, on that point, I don't say it would have been a "bonehead" move to punt. While I did, and still do, favor his attempt to go for it, had they punted, Peyton could have easily thrown a pick to end the game. I kind of remember him doing that in another game... can't recall the specifics... seemed like it was against some NFC squad... ;) In any case, what I'm saying is, I don't think either was a wrong call, but I do agree with you that what he ran was the better call, even though it failed.

He DOES have the security and is in a position to make smart calls, even if they appear gutsy. That 4th down call was undoubtedly the right decision. It would have been a bonehead move to punt there. As far as MBIII--I think you are right about his 2009 play, although I don't think he is finished. He is still relatively young and I do think there's something left in the tank. With that said, I would prefer that Choice handle short-yardage runs now, but I doubt that will happen. That is what I mean (referring to your Belichick example).

I mean, sure, if they screw up badly enough, like going 0-fer or something, then you're right, they're likely history regardless, but if a guy just signed a multi-year extension for umpteen millions, more than a few owners would ride out a losing season or two just to save the cheese. Look at how Belichick got reemed for going for the 1st down against the Colts rather than punt. I thought it was both gutsy and the right call. Not many coaches could ride out that firestorm intact. On the RB issue, what do you think about my comments on Barber? Dead on? In the ballpark? Full of beans? I don’t know about that one year deal thing.

Coaches are conservative because it saves their job. With all coaches basically on a one-year deal, though, I'm not sure why more coaches don't just say **** it and go for it all.
