As a Patriots fan I think that Belichick is an idiot for not punting the ball on his own 30 yard line.

Do you think they should have punted?

No, Belichick didn't trust his defense. So he went for it. He knew he didn't want to give Peyton Maanning the ball though. They had a better chance of winning, by going to it and getting it. For they did get it they'd run of the clock.

But on that 4th down I think Tom Brady could of thrown beyond the down.

so he'd rather not trust his defense with 30 yards for the Colt offense rather than 60+ yards? STUPID.
For they did get it they'd run of the clock.

if he was trying to run down the clock, i saw none of that. they were ahead. it was near the end of the game. they were ahead. they had the ball. they were ahead. and they used two timouts.

also, that's not a 4th down that you GO for in such tense situations. maybe 4th and inches or 4th and one, but 4th and 3?

he lost control of his brain.
it was a horrible horrible horrible decision

They shouldn't have went for it that idiot. you don't give it to Peyton Manning on the 30 yard line because that is stupid. Just STUPID.
