He knows it but is he not trying to kick a field goal? Run a screen, take a shot deep, or at the very least run the ball and see what you get. He had 3 timeouts and used none of them before the half, when the Dolphins had a 4th down with 1:45 left clock running. He lets it run all the way under 1:10. They get it back and run the clock out. Why the fuck not call a timeout first and then run the ball. Are you THAT scared of Miami’s offense? What a joke. He’s an overrated coach. Lot of people call him a genius and a lot of their fans would never question him
What happened ?
Never mind the bs, man. I don't know what his reasoning was for that end of half fold, but I can assure you that he didn't fuck up. He knew exactly what he was doing.
As for "overrated coach", that is simply the dumbest thing ever said on this board. Inside his hoodie he has more football knowledge than you and all your Baltimore brothers combined. His record speaks for itself. Best coach ever and it's not even close. And you sure don't need to be from New England to recognize that.
The end of the first half is what the opening post says. 1:40ish, 2 timeouts to get ball back to end 2nd half and he just chose to go into half.
End of game, he let Miami just run clock all the way down despite having 3 timeouts so after Miami finally scored, NE had 24 seconds left to get into FG range.
He was a fish today.
It happens....Still gonna smash Titans, Chiefs, Ravens, Saints in that order to hoist #7.
A free bye week is always nice but I’m starting to think maybe Belichek didn’t really care if they lost the more I think about it. Because of the path. It wasn’t a must win situation. Not saying he threw the game but the path is not bad for the 3 seed in the afc East. Now they get Titans....? And then on the road at KC? Not the worst path in their minds maybe. But that doesn’t change the fact that they suck
Maybe he was trying to have a healthy team and not trying to win a game that probably means nothing.
he was afraid that if he failed to get a big gain on first down miami would get the ball back with their 3 timeouts and plenty of time. so he let the clock run down to get to 1:10 and when failing on his plan to get the big gain on first down decided to just run out the half since they were getting the ball in the 2nd. actually a brilliant move as it ensured no possibility of miami scoring again in the 1st half.
