I disagree with Coach Belichick, I think should have put the game in the hands of the Pats defense. The Pats were doing great against Peyton and his offense, even if Peyton Manning is one of the best, if not the best QB in the game.
Even though Peyton Manning is great at the hurry up offense, I would had punted it away. Now obviously if the 4th & 2 would have been converted, which I thought wasn't a great spot and it should have possible been a first down, we would not be discussing this and Belichick would be a hero in Boston, but I don't think that this is a risk you should take on your own 29 yard line.
