Did Mangini TANK OT to get back at BB?:
Is his dislike for the pats/bb more then his dislike for the team that sent him to cleveland. How else can you describe the inexplicable play calling at end of OT?

Why would they do that when they could actually win the division?

Not in this league if you want to continue coaching

Believe it or not, Eric Mangini probably wanted to beat the Jets more than he wanted to beat the Patriots. Remember the Jets actually fired him.

Pretty sure the Rat's job isn't secure enough for him to risk it by dumping a game to spite BB

Even though he's coaching well, he's on the hot seat with Holmgren wanting to coach. I highly doubt this.
This isn't the dumbest thread here though so I'll spare you. One dude does think Brady is overpaid and overrated...

I'm sure Rob Ryan was standing next to him saying that he has lost his competitive spirit and wanted to hand the game to his brother. He probably told his guys to miss the tackle and let Santonio Holmes score the winning TD. You sir, are a real piece of work.

C'mon man...you missed the best part. Not only did they keep it close for 4 quarters and tie the game with a gut-wrenching last minute drive....but they then played until there was only about 20 seconds left in the OT before they LET the Jets win, and they even fumbled once in OT when they realized they were getting too close to the end zone....

Mangini actually tanked the OT in an elaborate plot to stir up a message thread on Boston.com.

They won the game, but Stuckey tried to do more than he had to.

Is his dislike for the pats/bb more then his dislike for the team that sent him to cleveland. How else can you describe the inexplicable play calling at end of OT?

It's a conspiracy I say!!!
Re: Did Mangini TANK OT to get back at BB?

Oh yes he did tank it on purpose. If you read his lips in OT, he made the call to Stuckey:
"If you know whats best for your family, you will do it!"
honest... no lie! Everyone hates BB. I bet you, Goodell paid Mangini a nice slice of money love. The world cannot handle another Patriot Dynasty!!!
Believe in the conspiracy!! Sasquatch is alive and well!!!

Unles your 12 years old and actually believe what you wrote, THIS IS THE MOST IDIOTIC, MORONIC, INSANE, DUMB, STUPID thread thats been on here in years (and that is saying something). Mangini got his own job to worry about, his world don't revolve around the Patriots! OK condog24 you got your name online, now dont start anymore STUPID threads.

No, he just can't get it done when it counts. Brownies will probably again finish sub-500 and be interesting enough to keep Eric around another year. I predict his firing at end of next year if they do not post a winning record.
