Belichick is by far the best coach in NFL history when it comes to game management.
Watching the Miami-Tampa game sunday it was like Tony Sparano and Raheem Morris were having a compeition to see who could out idiot the other. Its just shocking how stupid NFL coaches are when it comes to decisions. That Belichick is getting heat from the idiotic media and public isnt surprising, what he did was way above the common thought, but its sad to see. It was a statistically correct move thet improved his teams chance of winning.They also converted it but got fucked on the spot.

I'm so tired of people talking about the percentages of NFL teams converting a 4th and 2.
What this doesn't take into account is that many 4th downs are done against a prevent defense with one team trailing very late in a game. For instance, the if the Browns converted a 4down tonight at the end of the game, that would get factored into the percentages. I'd say a 4 and 2 conversion in a game thats out of hand and one team could give a shit is a lot different than going on your own 28 yd line against one of the best teams in the NFL in a one score game.
Belichick going for it last night is indefensible. It is beyond words, and cannot believe how many defend it. If it was Norv Turner, people would be lining up to ridicule the guy.

Belichick has done a lot of stuff that has worked out, it isnt like he is 0-1 on smart moves.
He gives New England a large edge over the other coaches in game management.
I liked how he did not spill the beans as to why he did what he did. It was a pure math decision, but no reason to help educate the competition.

Mr. Smith it doesnt matter if it was 60%...It was a STUPID call ..PERIOD. 95% of ALL coaches at EVERY level of football would punt the ball if they are up by 6 and it is fourth and 2 on thier own 28 with 2 minutes left to go.
VERY DUMB MOVE by Bill, probably his worst. I would put that up with Marty Mornhinweg taking the wind in OT when he was with the Lions......
P.S. I also beleive he is the best coach in NFL history.
conventional wisdom is.........., well conventional wisdom
it simply can't be explained or reasoned with, it is what it is, and that's that
Bill Belichick wins football games with astonishing success. Suffice to say, 99.999999999+% of his detractors don't. Those who can, do. Those who can't, talk like they can.
Just don't waste time trying to reason with conventional wisdom.
