I'm saying dont onside kick it.
I would not have kicked that out of the end zone. I would have kicked it out of bounds inside the 20. Belichick I'm sure was not 100% certain on the rule, so he opted to play it safe.
I think the worst thing that can be done there is to give Baltimore a chance to return it. Once you break through the first wall, you're gone.
