Could only do it once; I think they only had one-time out. But what have you got to lose? His first kneel was more iffy than usual, plus he lost yardage so the next one was going to be even stickier.
What are you saving that time out for? Christmas? I bet Belachick would have done it.
They only used 1 timeout in the first half, which was right before NE gave up the ball on downs with just over a minute to go. They had two left, which makes the decision not to call timeout even more puzzling.
The QBing is pretty awful, but both teams are doing a great job stopping the run. The Pats have played excellent coverage, and the Rams gameplan and tackling have severely limited the Pats O. Both teams are playing very good defense.
Wonder if someone in the NFL main office spoke to Belichek: “No, Bill, this is the Super Bowl. You’re not going to wear that crappy sleeveless hoody in the Super Bowl.”
