offensive genius cost himself the game.

After the Jones amazing catch to give Atlanta a first down at the patriot 22 Shannahan stupidly cost his team the game with his play calling...

2nd and 8 at NE 49 (4:47) (Shotgun) M.Ryan pass deep right to J.Jones to NE 22 for 27 yards.
1st and 10 at NE 22 (4:40) D.Freeman left end to NE 23 for -1 yards (D.McCourty).

AFTER THIS PLAY ATLANTA HAS A 40 YARD FG TO GO UP 11. CLOCK IS RUNNING. TWO THINGS YOU CAN'T DO ARE STOP THE CLOCK YOURSELF AND LOSE BIG YARDAGE. TWO RUNS UP THE MIDDLE , KICK FG AND ATLANTA IS LIKLEY UP BY 11 WITH NO MORE THAN 3 MINUTES LEFT. INSTEAD THEY CALL THREE STRAIGHT PASSES RESULTING IN SACK, HOLDING CALL, INCOMPLETE.. THEN PUNT...... RESULT IS CLOCK GOES FROM SECOND DOWN ATL BALL AT 3:56 IN FG RANGE TO NEW ENGLAND BALL AT 3:30 NO FG.



2nd and 11 at NE 23 (3:56) (Shotgun) M.Ryan sacked at NE 35 for -12 yards (T.Flowers).
Timeout #1 by NE at 03:50.
3rd and 23 at NE 35 (3:50) (Shotgun) M.Ryan pass short left to M.Sanu pushed ob at NE 26 for 9 yards (L.Ryan). PENALTY on ATL-J.Matthews, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at NE 35 - No Play.
3rd and 33 at NE 45 (3:44) (Shotgun) M.Ryan pass incomplete short left to T.Gabriel.
4th and 33 at NE 45 (3:38) M.Bosher punts 36 yards to NE 9, Center-J.Harris, fair catch by J.Edelman. (The Punt Hangtime was 4.31 seconds.)
