It was hardly 4 down situation though. If they no timeouts, yes but not with 2 timeouts and the 2 min. If you don't attempt the FG, you absolutely attempt to pin them there. Even a touchback would have been more advantageous then what happened. Spotted them a free 10 yards. Just awful coaching.

Yes they will have that opportunity. Execution is not guaranteed, but the opportunity to correct game plan mistakes will be there.

Always entertaining to see how they shoe horn the wild card game-centric lyrics into this song.

I don't know. I think the way both they were playing on both sides of the ball, it was a 4 down situation.

Either way, they clearly made the decision to make it a four down situation and going with a low percentage play on 3rd and 11 was the wrong move. If it was something like 3rd and 5 or something like that, then going for the end zone would be ok. But 3rd and long should have either tried to go for the first down or make 4th down more manageable.

And what are we doing whilst they are making all these corrections. I guess the pats will be taking a vacation.

How will they cover Gronk, Hernandez, Welk, Lloyd, and the Running game....that is their gameplan.....good luck. IF Gronk is playing at 80% and NOT favoring that arm....he will be a HUGE factor and they need to gameplan him. I also think if our D comes out FIRED up AND Gets Pressure on Schaub....he is going to turn it over. Still like the Pats in this game...especially since we beat them handily the FIRST Time without GRonk and SEVERAL on Defense....GO PATS!

Watching how the Texans played the last few weeks, including today, and watching how the Bengals played against them I'm really happy with this outcome.

I don't think there's any chance that the Bengals would have gone to Denver and won.

I think that the Ravens or even the Colts will give the Broncos a better game, or at least a more interesting one.
