You punt on 4th down people.

JFC

wtf are you talking about?

I will say in the first half on 4th and 7 when they attempted a 53 yarder in -5 weather...Belichick lets Tom throw for the 1st there, as well. Demaryius dropping that 1st down throw also ****ed the Broncos on that drive....at the very least a 10 point swing.

I never have liked 50 plus FG attempts on yardage less than 8 or in non end of half/game situations. The improved accuracy of kickers in that range has made the decisions easier to swallow, but still.

Here's an idea.....

Don't waste a ****ing 3rd down by running the ball and setting up for a punt.

There's NO excuse for that.....it wasn't 3rd n 17..it was 7 god damn yards and you have the best cerebral QB of this generation on your team.

a 1st down wins the game.....nuff said.

no reason to argue any further with the Hermanites on this board. This isn't 1989

They essentially wasted a 3rd down by running a play that 99% wouldn't result in a first down

I agree with you. I thought you were trying to say Denver called a timeout right after that. I was just saying that milking the clock like that is used by MANY coaches well over a majority of times in situations similar to this. Horrible decision with Manning at QB.

ESPN had the Broncos at a 98% chance of winning the game at the time of the snap Flacco hit the deep ball.

This is ****ing hilarious. How can you in the same breath say that Peyton Manning is a choker.... and then say the Broncos should have put the ball in his hands on a crucial 3rd and 7?

He proved it by throwing a fluke 70 yard TD pass. That fluke play could have happened with 5 seconds left. Would you say "Not a big difference between 1:50 and 5 seconds in today's NFL... which Flacco proved" in that situation?

There is a huge difference in 1:50 and 1:15. That's AT LEAST 3 to 4 more plays.

A field goal wins it and an idiot coach loses it.

Looks like John will have some company tonight. Way to go, Pete Carroll.

I told my donk loving BIL that Fox and fivehead were a match made in heaven for Chiefs fans. Neither can win in the post season.

I don't know what to tell you King, other than you are wrong.

and Flacco proved you wrong.

If you have a shot to win a game on a 3rd and 7 with a QB who is pretty good at 7 yard passes you *HERM VOICE* PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

you don't punt it back to the other team just so you can bleed another 35 seconds off the clock

and Flacco showed you why

how do you not understand this? Are you Marty's kid?

the worst thing that could have happened, I guess, is a pick 6...and in that case at least you get the ball back with 1:50, 3 T.O.'s and all you need is a field goal!

You know, rather than 30 seconds, 2 T.O.'s so you can kneel the ball for some reason!

It's 2013 King...time for you to realize this is a passing game and that giving a team a shot to beat you is a bad, bad idea.

You watch the Hawks/Falcons game? Did you think Russel Wilson wasn't going to score that TD? Did you then see how easily Matt Ryan put them into field goal range?

in today's NFL you want to find a way to get to victory formation (unless you are Philip Rivers)...and the Broncos had that chance but instead elected to Marty it on 3rd and 7 and give Flacco the opportunity to do what he did.

BAD COACHING
