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. He should be fired for that.

That blunder very likely only shortened the length of time the TD took.

I disagree. That pass gets knocked down like it should have, and you now have 70 yards to go and only 30 seconds, no TO's. I take my chances with the defense.

It's easy after the fact to look back as say they should have tried the pass.

I agree, that was a very big fluke.

but the fluke was allowed to happen because the Broncos elected to let them have the ball back without even trying to win the game right then and there, on that 3rd down

If the Ravens would have had TO's left, I would have agreed with you. But at the point of the call, I would have ran it too. BECAUSE of the fact the Ravens had no TO's left.

Hell, even a completion inbounds was going to damn near run the clock down to next to nothing. Talking ball at 30 with 40 seconds left for Ravens.

Oh that makes this so much more epic

Yep, adds a bit more flavor to already tasty tears.

ya, they played straight up Herm style. Fox went full marty.

[CoMoChief]

The people who secretly love Herm Edwards have really been coming out of the closet in this thread.... just ****ing unbelievable really.

I don't know how many times I have to explain this. It was 3rd ****ing down. They only had 7 yds to go...it wasn't 12 or 15yds....it was 7. Denver signed Peyton Manning for a shit ton of money not so he can run the ****ing ball on 3rd n 7 in crucial situation where a 1st down WINS YOU THE GAME. He's prob the best QB along w/ Brady of this generation. You put the ball in his hands to make a 3rd down conversion.

Some of you are going full Herm-tard and are afraid that Manning will throw an INT in that scenario. I mean that's playing it as conservative as humanly ****ing possible. If he throws an INT, then ya know what? That's on Manning, not Fox. But chances are Manning is more likely to either take a sack, or throw an incomplete pass if the guy isn't open. And if that happens then fine....it's 4th down and you punt the ball to the opposing offense and have your "3rd best NFL defense" try and stop the other team from going 80 yds.

If you convert 7 god damn yds, you win the ****ing game....you at least try to win the game in that scenario. No reason also to kneel w/ 30 sec left when you have 2 TO's. That was another bonehead mistake.

It might be noted that RegularSeasonWonderManning threw a pick in overtime. I wonder what the rap on Fox would have been had he allowed him to throw and the pick cost them the game in regulation~

I honestly don't think Fox would get rap for trying to win as a coach. It would just be another example of Manning choking in the playoffs. If I were a Donk fan, my biggest beef with Fox would kneeling down with three timeouts at the end of the first half and kneeling down with two timeouts at the end of the second half. The guy coached scared and wasted five timeouts in the process.

There would be those who would point out they were at home and putting Manning in a hurry up situation in sub below conditions was risky or whatever~

Not really, no. This is how the game is played.
