I agree although it does seem silly to punt from the opponents 32.
I like the call because if you don't make it you don't really lose anything but if you make it then it's a real dagger into the Giants hearts. I'm more disturbed about the playcall itself. If you need 13 yards.. get 13 yards over the middle. Don't try to bomb it into the corner of the endzone into double coverage. Same goes for the playcalling in the last 35 seconds. You'd think with 3 timeouts Brady could methodically go down the field and get close to FG range. Instead he launched a bunch of hopeless hailmarys. NE's offensive coordinator was out of ideas most of the game.
