JUST GOT HOME AND DIDN'T SEE THE END OF THE GAME, BUT A FRIEND CALLED AND TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED. WHY DID THEY KICK A FG IN THAT SITUATION? MY FRIEND THINKS IT'S FIXED EVERY TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS. :0008

Logic being youre down two scores. Get the three and go for an onside.

Had they kept going for a TD, they might;ve run the clock out.

It was a bad situation no matter what they tried to do. They had almost no chance to win.

Need 2 scores


Also need time to get the 2 scores


Ive always said teams should do it more....take the 3 early and save time....

Need onside kick regardless. ...may as well recover with more then 15 seconds



And denver/peyton a small fav vs DA oakland raiders....im sure vegas would have wanted any fix resulting in a oakland cover


Just my thoughts



But i had no bet or id prolly be pissed too

Made no sense to me either,go for a TD then take advantage of Seabass leg later if u get close enough,they settled for the onside kick chance and it didnt payoff

OH, I'VE SEEN IT OFTEN BUT NOT WITH THAT MUCH TIME ON THE CLOCK.......HOW MANY TIME OUTS DID THEY HAVE? NOT SURE WHY THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

So. Cal
I get the logic but......

There was 1:45 left when they sent on seabass
1st down
Oak had 1 timeout left (still time to continue drive)
Seabass has a strong leg but...a 50 yard fg???

With about a min left and a 40 yrd fg....sure......but with that much time and from that distance it was a strange call (and inhad den -4 so i was all for it from a money perspective )
