    The big what if. What if Manning went for it with 31 seconds left

    I know its 50-50, but should Manning had gone for it when he had 2 timeouts

    Yes. John Fox was too conservative in 2 situations, running and punting before the Ravens tied and not trying to get into field goal range.

    What a dumb question. No he shouldn't have, because then they would have still lost. Of course he should have at least tried but the whole game the Ravens played like the better team. The Ravens gave up 2 special teams td's as well.

    That wasnt mannings call, but as a team they bottled it.

    I think they should have gone for it. Let Manning sling it a bit, you have 2 timeouts. I thought they had a chance to get a FG out of it.

    1st pick not his fault that the defender got inside deckers shoulder pads and tickled his arm pits and didnt get called for P.I.

    Fumble was a tuck rule that didnt get called

    2nd pick was pretty bad, had he more arm power stokley would have been far down the field

    Of course, but that would've just made the choke happen sooner.

    That being said, I was under the impression that Manning was calling his own crap on offense. I thought that was why we were having him shoved down our throats all season?

    My biggest gripe is running it 3 straight times... I would have thrown it on 3rd down to let Manning end the game with his arm. There are 4 QBs in Rodgers/Brady/Brees/Manning who should be allowed to end the game with their Arm.

    ouch, I was going for the ravens, the first pick I see defenders get away with a lot, but yea the fumble was definitely not a fumble. That was a wierd call

    Is that not the reason you bring in a QB like Manning? For situations like this??? I'm still dumbfounded.
