Just a bizarre game this one. I thought that hold on 3rd and 1 was cruddy, but that was most certainly a fumble. I really don't understand the tuck rule and why it even exists.
Honestly, I thought the Broncos would've run away with this one. Honestly, they should've. Baltimore has relied a lot on the big play. Although, I suppose two kick returns are of a similar category. Regardless, penalties have really squashed Denver today as well. PI, holding, offsides, etc. Also, they're really not getting to Flacco, and that's shocking to me.
Also, the play calling in Denver is questionable at best. A lot of it rides on Peyton. Like just now...they needed a quick throw out, but Manning sat back waiting. He's too used to having all the time in the world. The guy never does the risky play.
i was thinking they should have FG it and then trusted their D to hold them and go for the last drive TD. with the timeouts they could possibly do it. but watching their D now they looked gassed
