When is scoring a touchdown a bad thing? When it’s the Super Bowl and you’re trying to eat up as much clock as possible to keep Tom Brady and the New England Patriots offense from retaking the field.

The New York Giants were faced with an interesting dilemma during their last offensive drive of the game.

Taking the ball with 88 yards of real estate to cover and only one time out, they needed a field goal to take the lead.

Well I agree with the article. I said it in another thread that I would have gone for the TD and made Tom Brady move the ball 80 yards for the win, instead of taking a field goal and making him go 50 yards for the win.

I agree with the article as well.

I should have been more clear; I thought it was "unusual" for an article from a New Orleans Saints fan site to be on a New England Patriots team page.
