Denver - LMAO John Fox is a moron
 

What a Herm Edwards move.

It's 3rd n 7 and you have a chance to WIN THE ****ING GAME with a 1st down and you run the ball when you have Peyton Manning as your QB?

That so backfired in his god damn face I about rolled off the couch laughing. ROFL He should be fired for that.

It's worse that you have Peyton Manning 2 timeouts, 30 second and the ball to kick a field goal and you kneel

Yep. But he was conservative the entire game. Very Marty like. without those 2 ST TDs, Ravens win big.

Denver are sooo overrated..

AND they take a knee with two timeouts? They absolutely deserve to lose and he should be fired.

If we want to hate on Fox, it's not for that play. It's for kneeling with 30 seconds and 2 TO's left.

Yep. I'd be pretty ugly without Special Teams.

I bet no one has been discussing this in the game thread.

Holy ****, this game is in OT? I gave up on it...lol

I agree...both incredibly stupid decisions.

But it was 3rd DOWN and 7.....No reason whatsover to run that ball there esp w/ Peyton Manning...you might as well punt and just give the down up.

Obviously you wanted to come into this thread and post.

Anyway...can someone explain what happened? I switched over to FOX after the Ravens turned it over on downs.

Edit- never mind, got an explanation.

ROFL Dumbasses.

Yeah just to say. Hey there is already a thread containing this info with a discussion on going as well.

Ravens D stopped Manning, they punted. Then flacco ran for it for like three yards and the clock kept running then he threw it ****ing far for a td and my cousin spilt beer on my carpet. Cleaning it now.

Obviously, I wanted to call you out for being a useless ****ing moron.

Your sheer utter uselesness and stupidity can not be overstated.

John Fox is nothing. The guy is a ****ing dip shit

I can't ****ing believe I missed that. I bet the TD was cool too.

oh boy you sure did call me out!!!! Good calling out post Milkman....good job!

u mad bro?

that blows.

Manti Te'o

Amazing touchdown. It felt alot like the helmet grab from the superbowl a few years ago. Iirc, bong water was spilt due to that one.

Jeez Como calling anyone stupid is an amazing thing and pretty much assures the Broncos of winning. Congrats como for handing denver a win...

game is over. 35 yarder ftw!

That's why I hate defensive head coaches. With few exceptions they always manage the game from a fearful standpoint rather than an aggressive one.

not Andy "Big Red" Reid (because he's offensively fat)

Geno Smith

Peyton Manning

Brett Favre

Good job Dave Lame.

No doubt.

Tim Tebow has more playoff wins then Peyton Manning.

Herm Fox

Like I said in the game thread, no matter who your QB is, the right call is to run there.

And we all saw what Manning does when the ball is in his hands with the game on the line... so let's not act like a first down would have been assured on that 3rd and 7 play.

I keep thinking about the NFL "expert" Petro had on his show yesterday, almost laughing at the notion that Andy Reid is in the same class as John Fox. Petro kind of agreed. I hope he addresses it on Monday, but I doubt it.

Herm is that you? Worrying about throwing a INT on 3rd n 7 is probably the most conservative you could possibly be given the situation at hand.

So you just essentially give up the down and punt and give the opposing offense another chance to score by running the ball? What is assured is that you give the ball back to the offense with more than enough time left on the clock to score and tie the game. A good game coach does what he can so that he doesn't give the opposing team any chance to score. STUPID STUPID move by Fox.

If you don't make a first down on 3rd n 7...okay/fine...then you can punt and hope the defense stops them from scoring. A first down wins the damn game and they're playing next weekend.

Did you see their kicker attempt that 52 yarder? I didnt mind that move. Nor the 3rd and 7. Why risk an incompletion and give the opponent more time? Thats all on Del Rio. Get your safeties back deep

If Marty gets fired after a 14-2 season and a loss in the divisional round of the playoffs in San Diego, Denver is justified in firiing Fox after this dumpster fire of a loss.

Denver stopped the clock anyways by calling their 1st time out.

3rd and 7 at DEN 47 R.Hillman right guard to DEN 47 for no gain (M.Kemoeatu).

- Timeout #1 by DEN at 01:15.

4th and 7 at DEN 47 B.Colquitt punts 30 yards to BLT 23, Center-A.Brewer, fair catch by J.Jones.

So it's 7 yds to win the ballgame and move on to the AFC Championship game, or give the opposing offense one more chance to score...which ended up happening. If they pass the ball and don't make it, get an incompletion, they about 5 seconds is taken off the clock at a minimum. The opposing team still has to go almost 80 yds for a TD..a FG wouldn't cut it.

You pass on that 3rd down. No questions asked.

This isn't the reg season...you lose you're season is done...you win you move on to the AFC Championship game. You go for the win.

THIS. I couldn't believe they elected to take it to overtime with all that in their pocket.

STUPID STUPID STUPIDS

Everyone knew what Denver was getting when they made that completely perplexing hire. He was so frustrating with Carolina and I cackled with glee when they hired him.

They were more aggressive with Tebow v. Steelers than they were with Peyton ****ing Manning.


What the **** does that even mean? ROFL

That was so hilarious ROFLROFL

I laughed, facepalmed, then laughed again. Jesus, is Fox reeruned or does he not realize Teboner isn't under center anymore?

Man its just incredible. Close game, time on clock, peyton manning and co., 2 timeouts. ROFL

Has there been any posts about the Press Conference/questions about this?

I'd like to hear Fox's answer so I have something new to laugh at. I keep watching them run on 3-7 and giggling. ROFL

Nah I havent seen any postgame press conferences. Would be awesome if he gets asked that LMAO

****, any competent human being would ask it. What a completely mental decision.

Its just all so funny! http://dr1ve.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/laughing.gif

I'm truly curious as to whether it was Fox or McCoy's decision. It seems like a typical Fox thing to do, which is why I haven't blamed McCoy yet.

We'll just have to look through some interviews i guess.

It was sweet. The pocket was closing in on Joe. He stepped forward to avoid the sack, set his feet, fired a deep pass between two Bronc-Hoes. Receiver took it in for the score. Game tied. Camera on Payton frowning.

Don't forget he did the same GD thing at the end of the 1st half too with all three timeouts. Here's to Hermfox staying in Denver for years to come.

Fox just made a basic calculated coaching decision based on the fact his defense was playing so well.

this

jesus ****ing christ, MARTY...you have a hall of fame QB, and you kneel in the playoffs?

I don't see how that was calculated at all....it wasn't 4th down it was THIRD DOWN. At least TRY to get 7 yards when you have one of the league's best QB's and you win the game and move on to the AFC Championship game. What makes matters even worse they even called a TO after they ran it instead of letting the clock run. Didn't matter anyway because of how quick BAL was able to score and tie the game....but by no means was that a calculated decision. You go for the 1st down on 3rd down n 7....always....always.....always. Only time I see where it's probably not a good idea is if you're backed up on your own 2-3yd line or something. Even then I'd still think I'd try to get the first down on 3rd n 7, instead of essentially giving the ball back on 3rd down...That was a horribly wasted play to run it there...stupid ass decision.


Remember when the Chiefs could have tied or won the game in the recent weeks, but we ran the ball w/ Hillis on 3rd n 7 and then had to punt becuase he got like a yard or 2? Same deal......that was a dumber than shit decision by RAC and Daboll.

Give your sarcasm meter one of these. %(/

will do ...will do ROFL

This was a really bad decision. Didn't even try.

Flumfox the idiot is drawing away attention from Harbough. Flying the Ravens in 24 hours before the game so the altitude change wouldn't effect them

playing not to lose... never wins... much like prevent defense

what is the god damn point of acquiring a QB if you don't have the balls to use him in the most important moment of the season?

Ths Donkeys are a one man team. Without PM they would be drafting #1 this year. This has all been a blessing in disguise for the Chiefs organization as we have retooled our staff and IMO done a wonderful job that can give us all Hope while PM will keep the Donkeys picking at a later spot in the draft for the next few years while ending his career in Denver.
Also we now know that Denver has a coaching staff led by John Fox that is horrible. Look at Foxs track record.

it was one of the worst coaching decisions I've ever seen

which is why I wanted an offensive minded coach here in KC

Belichick is great because NO ****ING WAY his Tom Brady team runs on 3rd and 7 there...

and the kneel downs were RIDICULOUS

lets kneel while the other team is in prevent...the Ravens scored 2 TDs on Denver's prevent...one at the end of the first and the one where that amazing Denver safety decided to make the worst play on a ball in NFL history

and King...

you are the only dipshit I've seen that still says 'you always run on 3rd and 7' there...

I've yet to see anyone on this site or anyone IRL that agrees with you...

the odds of PM throwing a pick there are probably about the same as Jerome Bettis fumbling at the 3 when his team is trying to run out the clock only for Ben Roethlisberger to make the game saving tackle when the opposition picks up said fumble

oh wait

Tried telling ya this wasn't a layup Hootie. Shocked the Ravens allowed TWO special teams TD's and STILL won, wow.

I was dead wrong about that one.

I was right on about San Fran.

50/50!!!!

I played Kaepernick and Crabtree in my ESPN Gridiron Challenge money league so I got over losing all my Denver players in my NFL challenge very quickly.

and everyone rags on me for being so opinionated and totally blowing my Denver prediction but no one gives me any credit for calling Kaepernick "vastly underrated" and saying San Fran was a terrible matchup for Green Bay because Rodgers doesn't get rid of the ball...

YOU GUYS ONLY REMEMBER THE NEGATIVE STUFF

Hootie, props for being spot on about the Niners. You were just so focused on your Manning nutnibbling folks probably just forgot about it.

a monkey could have predicted that 49ers win. come on

it was a lot harder to come out and predict the Ravens would go into Denver against a PM led team on a 11 game win streak and come out on top.

oh yeah I deserve all of the lumps in the world for that one

I would have agreed to a 1 year hiatus with knowmo if offered

no way in the world did I think Denver could lose that game

Manning needs a new Papa John's commercial where he gives away a playoff game.

ROFL To be honest, I was going to offer you a share, but didn't want you to have to leave again....heh.

I disagree w/ most in here. U run the ball and take as much off the clock as possible, forcing flacco to win a game like he's never done before. U just make damn sure your D doesn't F it up like they did.

And by the way, u gotta go for it in the 4th qtr, that was pussssy coaching.

IT WAS THIRD DOWN...YOU PUNT ON 4TH DOWN...GO **** YOURSELF HERM!!! :mad:

Not to mention when they did run the ball.....they called at timeout and stopped the clock.

dude

when your team has a guy who is your best player at QB, and a first ballot HOF...

you let him win the game right then and there

and if he does **** up

AT THE VERY LEAST WE FOCUS ON HIS CHOKE AND NOT JOHN FOX'S CHOKE

there were just so many inexcusable coaching decisions...the kneel downs were ridiculous

After Flacco scrambled and the clock was running down, the ONLY way Denver was going to lose was on a play like that where the reciever got behind their umbrella. Rahim should have been at least 5-10 yards deeper at the start of the play, Jones can fly.

pretty sure if you call a pass on 3rd and 7 in that situation PM knows not to force it and at the very worst he

1) takes a sack
2) throws an incompletion

not a big difference between 1:50 and 1:15 in today's NFL...which Flacco proved.

Balt was out of timeouts, so they took the clock from 2 minutes to 1:20 and usually will win you the game when they have to go 80 plus yards without a timeout. They just didn't play the coverage to dictate the situation.
