Denver - LMAO John Fox is a moron

[Pasta Little Brioni]

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.

he ran up on the ball like he was going to pick it

and then it floated over his head 10 yards right to Jacoby Jones


it was ****ing awful, and indefensible

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.

Obviously, they should have put it in Peyton's hands, but 35 seconds is HUGE in late game situations. Plays like the one to Jones are flukes.

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.

If Peyton Manning makes a simple 7 yd pass, game over....Donks win.

Instead they take the ball out of the hands of one of the best QB's to ever play this game and run a play that is 99% sure to not get anywhere close to getting a first down.

At least TRY to complete a 7yd pass. I mean ****ing try when you have Peyton ****ing Manning on your team. If it doesn't work out...if he gets sacked or throws an incompletion, then ok....you then need to punt on 4th down.

THIS IS 3RD DOWN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE FOLKS, and you have Peyton ****ing Manning as your QB...not Matt Cassel.

[CoMoChief]

again....just gonna point out to the morons out there that it was 3rd n 7 and not 4th n 7.

[Hootie]

I'd take 1:50 and an attempt to win the game on 3rd down over conservative pussy ass bullshit and 1:15 if I have Peyton Manning 10 times out of 10

GUARANTEE Belichick throws in that situation.

I agree. That's a play you call with someone like Cassel at QB. I was laughing watching it going well at least Baltimore still has a shot if they connect on another bomb.

[Hootie]

and I called as much in the game thread

I said

"gee, I'd pass here, especially considering what happened at the end of the first half. But this is John Fox, so he'll run."

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I have no idea what Como is talking about. They ran the play clock all the way down, so it really didn't matter.

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

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.

[Hootie]

the 1990 NFL philosophies have to die

that 3rd and 7 run and those kneel downs were fireable offenses
