What compunds the level of stupidity if memory serves me correct is running the play with only one of the two players who had been practicing it. Whalen was subbed in wasn't he?

Problem here is you can actually go back and comprise a ranking of particularly bad decisions by Pagano that he then steadfastly defends after the game by stating he wouldn't change a thing. It's not single play calls however that will doom Pagano. It will be a and/or combination of poor game starts leading to large deficits or second half performances that show an inability to make effective adjustments withint the game itself.

If I recall correctly, I believe he was subbed in. Whalen at center and Colt Anderson at QB, now that's a winning combination. Pags sure fooled the Pats. Hell, even if they accomplished what they wanted with that stupid play, it would have been a penalty on the Colts for an illegal formation. Coaching at its finest.

Fuck the pats!

The play was dumb as fuck but I like the fact Pagano was pulling out everything to beat those motherfuckers!

Next time leave the offense in and GO FOR IT!! Fuck them!!

It was fucking bizarre to watch. It was almost surreal, like I was in some sort of alternate drug induced universe that I couldn't fully comprehend. It's like the stupidity of the moment made time slow down. I do remember thinking, in a vein attempt to snap me back to reality thinking "ok, they'll call a timeout. That's fucking stupid and a waste of a timeout, but he couldn't possibly be absolutely stupid enough not to call one." And holy mother of fucks, he was. It was like a calming measure of disbelief when I saw it happened, only to be replaced by an angry wave of profanities that a coach could be so fucking worthless and incompetent to call a play like that, of which my wife came down to see what was inducing my rage.

I'd rank 4th and 2 and neglecting to take the points (twice) as worse decisions made by the cheater. Neglecting to take the points cost him an AFC Championship.
