Apparently God worked by making John Fox into an idiot, because his conservative play calls in the last 2 minutes of regulation lost that game.
Got that one right. 31 seconds on the clock and 2 timeouts, isn’t that why people get Peyton? Good game though, very exciting.
Typical NFL prevent offense. Norv Turner is still the king of poor play calling.
The game was lost because manning threw the ball directly into the Defense hands. Thrown across his body in the middle of the field. He is an overhyped player who should have eaten the ball or thrown it away.
However, the Ravens play-calling was even more conservative and predictable: try unsuccessfully to run Rice, try unsuccessfully to run Rice again, throw (but not out of play action).
Exactly right. Plus, I don't get not using the final 30 seconds of regulation to let Manning try to throw at least a couple deep passes and maybe get lucky or get a pass interference call and then kick a game-winning field goal. Just give up a free half-minute and retire to the lockers? Hmm.
