And you think going for it on 4 and 2 was brash…

wait till you see Belichick’s decision to make a play on 4 and 30 this week!

Actually, I agree with what Belichick did and I think all the chatter about his decision should be null about this time.  I look at it this way:  there were a possible three things that could have happened – (1) go for it on 4 and 2 and make it (2) go for it on 4 and 2 and don’t make it or (3) punt.  Now if they had made it, his decision would have made him like the God of the NFL, wouldn’t it?  And they still may not have won.  But simply because he made the decision to do it and we didn’t get a first down, his decision is talked about more than the Jets’ Coach Ryan’s decision to have a big bawlfest after his team’s loss.

That was then, this is now and we move on.  At least Belichick isn’t crying about it…

Never give up, Tedy

Sadly it was announced earlier this evening that tomorrow Patriots  linebacker Tedy Bruschi will announce his retirement.

Ironically I just finished reading his book “Never Give Up” which entails the experience he had following his stroke.  It is probably the most inspirational book I have ever read.  I think if more people lived with the mantra of “Never Give Up” in their lives, they would be happier with themselves and what they do.

Tedy will be greatly missed both on and off the field.  I hope we do see him behind the scenes in some capacity within the Patriots organization.

Here’s wishing him the best of luck in whatever he does.

Easy come, easy go

Leave it to the Jets to screw us up again!

I have to give the Pats credit.  They did much better than I expected, considering I figured we were destined for Detroit-land 20 minutes into the season.  11-5 is nothing to be ashamed of, considering all that happened this year.  It’s exciting to think of what they could do next year, with either Brady or Cassell at the helm.

I do hope Brady is well enough to play once again but it would be comforting to know Cassell is still here also.  They are still an exciting team to watch and I feel ashamed for ever doubting Cassell.  Then again, considering the pre-season he had, who can blame me?

And I hope Wes makes all the snow angels he wants in Hawaii–even without the snow!

Now to focus on the C’s…

Dear Tom:

GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
