31 seconds left. 2 tos. You have Peyton Freaking Manning at QB.

You don't even try one play?

My God even Lovie would have tried.

If McCoy made the decision not only should he not be the new Bears coach he shouldn't be the special teams coach on a prek flag football team.

I have to agree. If they could get a few completions, in that thin air a long field goal wins it. Passing on the opportunity shows no faith in a unit that deserved some, even if Manning didn't have his best game.

We all know that's just not true.

I will also begrudgingly agree. It's worth a shot to win at the end of the game. I trust Manning not to push things too close to the edge to give up a pick six game ender.

My gut says with the new OT rules, you make this decision knowing that you just need to stop a TD. That being said, right after you have just allowed a 70 yard TD when your defense should be doing everything it can to limit a long strike, maybe you do try something with 30 seconds left. At the end of the day, it didn't matter. Denver should have never been in OT.

Peyton got plenty of opportunities to win in an entire OT period and didn't. He would have thrown a pick 6.

Well, well. Matt Ryan did it. Surely Peyton could've too. cubbiebabe wins again.



She is quickly catching up to Terry's Peeps when it comes to having it all figured out.

Shouldn't it be "whoever"?

John Fox should be fired. Peyton is a Coach Killer. Rey Luis has a pretty crazy facemask.

Yeah, misused object pronouns make me wince more than misused subject pronouns and it's not even close. Remember: him, them, whom.
