In the immediate aftermath, emotions were shock at such a risky play. Even anger that we "threw" it away.
In retrospect you can look at every big play in football and there is an element of brilliance and stupidity in the decisions. Just depends on the outcome.
If Lockette catches, we describe this as a ballsy play avoiding the obvious rush defence and exploiting a rookie DB.
Biggest play was probably Lane going down with an injury because it is conceivable at least one of the TDs thrown his way might not happen. Could second guess for ages.
Credit to a very intelligent game plan by Belichick and the Pats played it well. Overall they were better than my Seahawks and I can live with that.
