I didn't see it, but didn't BB kick it away a year or two ago vs. Denver in OT in NE since they wanted Peyton to throw against the heavy winds in that game? And they won that game. I think it's hit or miss. But, in OT I think you kinda have to take the ball. Again though, I didn't see this game really but I keep hearing about it.

I didn't have much of an issue with it. He did the same vs Denver two years ago and kicked to Peyton and we won the game. Bill felt his defense was playing better which it was as the offense had only mustered any momentum the final drive to tie. It should have worked out as the Pats had a third down but they called a bogus PI on Butler to extend the drive. Then the next play the Jets ran a pick play that was not called and it went for a big gain. A real bummer and I would have liked to see Brady get the ball but I understand the decision and don't really disagree with it.

If his plan had worked, everyone would be calling him a genius right now. It's always 50/50 with big situation decisions like this. I'm going to stick up for BB here, because plenty of times, Sean Payton's trick plays have backfired on us. It could have worked, but it's always a 50/50 chance of it backfiring.
