When you do this when you are playing away against a team that is lead by a guy like Brady, it's the equivalent of game plan suicide. These guys always play to win.

I'm not sure what the coaching staff thought they would accomplish. It makes you wonder if they had ever watched the patriots play before.

It completely sucked all the momentum out of our team.

Such a shame.

The [BLEEP] you going on about? We got hosed by the Zebras. We converted a 3rd and 8 or 9 to Lewis and those cheating [BLEEP] waited to see the result of the play before they decided to throw a flag out for delay of game. That's a crock of [BLEEP]. Then they allowed the [BLEEP] to march down field on an iffy helmet to helmet hit where Church led with his shoulder first and then Bouye gets [BLEEP] after he played Cooks fairly out of bounds with coverage and somehow that's PI.

It was clearly delay of game, the refs didn't catch it right away.  Blake was calling for the ball at the 3 second mark, Linder didn't respond.  Was yelling at the TV for him to snap it.  The Church hit is going to get called 99% of the time.  I agree on the Bouye PI, that was total crap.

Hackett doesn't trust Bortles in a number of situations for good reason, but it wasn't his call to take a knee there. 
If Marrone says let's see if we can score - then Hackett starts dialing up sideline passes.

It is frusturating as hell. Considering he made a 52 yarder already. To not even try to get into FG rang was crazy. Not to mention, they could have burned those TO when Brady went into the no huddle on goalline for previous TD.

Doug Marrone has shown weakness in situational coaching as Pete Prisco calls it.

Agree.  That was the first step on the 'playing not to lose' ladder.  Didn't keep their foot on the gas like they did the week before, and I believe it deflated them.  However, the turning point play was the Jack fumble recovery being blown dead, IMO.
