Message: [QUOTE="Tobias Funke, post: 1288060, member: 850"] From Belicheck “We put our goal-line defense in probably around the same time they were sending in their multiple receiver group, and that's kind of what we wanted to be in there, to make sure they didn't run the ball in,” Belichick said. “I'd like to think had they tried to run the ball against our goal-line defense, with three receivers on the field -- we couldn't ask for any more than that in terms of trying to stop the running game. We saw that matchup and we certainly gave some consideration to taking a timeout there and leaving some time on the clock. I don’t know if that would have been a bad thing to do. It might have been a good thing to do. “But it just seemed like in the flow of the game that we were OK with where we were.” Thought this was an interesting view. Looks like both coaches went with feel rather than data. You could argue both sides were wrong, but one had to be right, right? [/QUOTE]
