I pretty much suck at this nfl stuff

I am not sure I buy that NE made a strategic move to kick in OT. Seemed like a screw up.

Update (4:31 p.m.): Apparently Bill Belichick really did want to kick off, and the screwup was in Slater stating they wished to kick rather than saying nothing about kicking or receiving and instead identifying which end zone the Patriots wanted to defend.

That was on sky sports news earlier......... seems stupid they would give away possession when you only need one field goal or try

The Patriots did the same exact thing in an OT game against the Broncos, except in that instance, it worked in their favor and they won the game, so that move isn't without precedence for the Pats.
