I'm just glad we now have a coach who is willing to take a chance.
I've heard that argument and I have to say the onside kick was much different. That was about trying to catch a team off guard. They weren't catching anybody off guard with this, it was just plain stupid. I like Mangini too, but that decision had to be as dumb or dumber than anything Herm did while he was here.

Like I said though, I'm just so pleased with how well we played, I can't really get too bothered by it now. At the time, it drove me nuts, but right now, I'm too happy with the effort.

I would say they are one of the big suprises this year, I know they are only 2-2, but they have played well in all of their games, minus the first half of the Pats game. They just look like a new team, new attitude.
Even if it works, it's a bad call because you have to take the three points in that situation.
