nice throw n catch putz yess

[sportsgeist]

Denver had 30+ seconds, 2 timeouts and only 20 yards to go for field goal range.

And you want them to run it??

If this is a playoff team you don't sit on the ball in that situation with a game very much in doubt. You trust your offense and your quarterback.

If Shanahan DID sit on it in that situation you guys would have been *****ing to no end.

No, you put the ball in the air just like Shanahan told jake to do.

P.S. -- If you want Denver to sit on the ball, why are you handing it off? You kneel down if you want to run the clock out. Make up your mind... score or no risk.

We'd still be up by 11 and not 8. I rather them need to score 2 TDs instead of a TD and 2 pt conversion.

Well sure, I would rather that too. But that doesn't make the decision of Shanahan's part a bad one.

You can't confuse results with a decision.

For example, Denver has first and goal from the 1 with a 14 point lead and you run it up the middle, fumble, returned for a Touchdown. I'd rather be up 14 then 7, but that doesn't make the run a bad decision.

There is no coach in the NFL that sits on the ball after the big return from Luke with over half a minute to go. You have to. Only up 10 you can't ignore good scoring oppertunities.

Also, remember that even if Jake does throw an INT, in that situation you would have expected it to be further down the field and not such a long return. So, even given a mistake from your hot quarterback, you don't expect them to be in field goal range after it happens.
