The Bad Kick

Coach Belichick had a defining moment back in 2009 when he decided to go on 4th and one in the infamous loss against the Indianapolis Colts. His decision last night to go with an onside kick that will be debated forever.

The Pats had three timeouts with 2:35 left in the game. All they had to do was hold the Steelers to 3 and out. They would still have some time left on the clock.

The kick was a total disaster, with the recovery by the Steelers. This must have driven the coach crazy because he started his career as a special teams coach. He places a great emphasis on it. It was a very basic play that was bad from the start.

Since the team lost, critics will use this play to find fault in the coach and his decisions. It's going to be around for a long time.
