Even the commentators said that Bilicheck wanted them to score quick so that they could get the ball back and score..

i say no because they would have let the giants score on one of the previous 13 plays.

They let him score no doubt about it.
I'm not sure why they didn't do it two plays before that, but Spikes was going to hit him into the end zone if he didn't get in.

Of course they did, I didn't even think it was in question. The only reason NE didn't allow them to score a TD sooner was because they were hoping to hold them to a FG. Once the Giants got closer and used more of the clock, they knew the only way they would even have a chance to win is to allow them to score so that they have time for their own drive.

I actually thought Bradshaw was showing off when I watched the play live.
I do think that the Pats let him in to get the ball back.

Time nailed it.
It's the reason Bradshaw admittedly looked so confused when he ran through the hole like there was a ghost. You are taught to go for the score on every play and you could tell by the way he acted he had to fight every urge to score, but could not help it.
A smart play by the Pats, it just did not have the ending result they wanted.

The percentages would say otherwise. It's a chip shot for a very accurate kicker. Odds of him screwing up are extremely slim.
Let them score and put the ball in the hands of the guy that got you there; Tom Brady. It wasn't the patriots defense that got them to the Super Bowl.
