That looked like a sketchy penalty Maybe that's why he went for it on 4th and 2. I think if he thought if he were to punt the ball the refs will just give another BS pass interferance penalty to the colts to ensure that they get the win. Not only that I notice the Colts are the only team to get away with BS pass interference penalties more than any other team in the league. Colts president Bill Polian is on the NFL rules committee and he pushed for rule changes after the Colts lost to the PAts in 2004 to emphasize on the DB's and their not allowed to touch WR's after 5 yards. Most people don't want to acknowledge this though. What about the PI call on Butler in the 4th quarter where he was just playing the ball.

However I will disagree with you on Belichick. Running out the clock could have easily been completed by punting the ball and bring the defense back on the field. Two minutes is a lot of time for magic to be worked, but the Pats defense is high and had the game not been fixed they could have easily kept the Colts at bay with such a stupid move. But it just wasn't that move, all throughout the game, both teams made some head scratching plays. One minute Brady is playing like Brady, next minute he's playing like Cutler. One minute Manning is living up to his name, next minute even Sanchez could do better.

It was the only move he had. Since the refs are fixing the game and will give Manning whatever pass interference call he needs, Bellicheck knows that his only option is to run out the clock. That's why he went for it on fourth-and-two when sound fundamental Football strategy demands that the ball be punted. The Pats were playing the refs and the Colts. I can't imagine that any serious sports fan watches something so completely rigged. Everyone knew the Colts were going to win. That's why they won. It's what you expected. Study the elements of propaganda and marketing. It's why you'll tune in, next week. It wasn’t a stupid move. It was the only move he had.
