More coaching mistakes - SUPERBOWL SPOILERS

[ #17144 ]
So, New England won the SuperBowl again, thanks in part to a dumbshit decision by Carolina to go for 2 when they didn't need to (and then not getting the points).

Coaching 101 Coach Fox: you *NEVER* go for 2 points *EXCEPT* to tie the game. PERIOD.

In addition, whoever is responsible for the field maintenance should be shot. That was quite possibly the worst field I have ever seen a SuperBowl played on and directly affected the course of the game.

Still, it was a good game and Vinatieri is once again a hero (sort of).

      • Yes, it was dumb, but so was Vinatieri missing two FGs and Tom Brady throwing an INT. Both teams made mistakes, and even if Carolina had gone for 1 both times, NE still would have won!

          I now wonder if field conditions had more to do with it than I originally thought, especially in light of Kasay's shanked kickoff at the end. I haven't heard any comments about it, though.

          ...and Tom Brady throwing an INT

          I must be a conspiracy nut, because my first thought when Tom Brady threw that pass was, "what's the line on this game again?". It seemed a very strange pass for the likes of Tom Brady and it looked like we were headed towards a
