Exactly....with a well thrown ball, even if he is in perfect coverage, he will get beat more often than not.
Look at the situation, with that amount of time left, the Giants were going to the endzone every time. Plex is there number 1 (and probably number 2) target in that situation. Granted, there was a blitz, but what about having some safety help? I think Belichek is a helluva coach, but didn't you have to see the jump-ball passes to the 6'4" receiver coming?
Second point...M&M "the critics", if the shoe was on the other foot, they would be screaming about a push-off, or some other phantom penalty....
