3rd and 7 about a 1:45 to go Manning at QB with a 7 point lead, hey lets run the ball. Yeah why let one of the best QB's to ever play the game throw the ball. I don't trust him as much as I trust a defense that has already been torched numerous times on deep balls and has given up 4 TD's in a game I am lucky to be ahead in. Not even a Broncos fan but the man should have been fired during the damn game and if not then during the post game press confrences.

“You don’t win, you get criticized on everything, so that’s par for the course,” Denver coach John Fox said after the game. “Thirty seconds, it’s hard to go the length of the field, some bad stuff can happen — as you saw at the end of the game.”

What Fox seemed to be referencing there (though the time window is a bit off) is Manning’s brutal overtime interception, which set the stage for Baltimore to walk off a winner.

Rather than risk a Manning mistake late in regulation, Fox opted to play for overtime — mimicking his strategy at the end of the first half, when he had Manning hand off to Jacob Hester once before heading to the locker room, taking three timeouts with him.

You don't have a say.   But it's good to know you're fine with a ****** coach.

And, FWIW, I don't care who calls the plays, I'd say it's Manning, but you can be damn sure that the head coach signs off on a kneel down.
