You're missing the point . I'm not disagreeing on NE being the better team or other plays impacting the game . In stating that in both games the Pats probably had less than a 10% chance to win when Carroll and Quinn made their decisions . That means the odds of NE winning BOTH games was likely less than 1%. You're a smart dude so I'm guessing you're just debating to debate and that's fine .
But seriously, you didn't state that second sentence. You said that the credit for their rings goes to Carroll and Quinn their last two times. That's what's wrong. Obviously their decisions affected the outcome, but the reason they were in that position was because of everything that led up to those final plays. Do those plays have a larger percentage of isolated impact on the game than, let's say, a single first down in the 4th quarter? Sure. But do those plays have a larger percentage of impact on the game than all the other plays combined? No. They don't. Because without those plays leading up to it, those plays don't happen. So like I said, the game is 60 minutes.
