    And I honestly think KC turning it over was more likely than McMannus making a 62 yarder.

    But playing for a tie is not bad in that scenario. We're going to have a hard time even making the playoffs now, let alone winning the division. I don't think 10-6 will make the playoffs in the AFC, Miami and Buffalo are playing too well right now.

    There are countless people on here complaining about how conservative Kubiak is, I guess our P*triot Envy only goes so far.

    It was 4th down.

    The play before that was a perfectly thrown pass to the Chefs redzone that was dropped?

    The more I think about it, I will give kubes a SLIGHT pass for the decision. We're fighting for a playoff spot and probably don't have too many good chances for wins left. He probably felt like like we had a chance to steal one here and went for it.

    I still hate the decision in a vacuum, but I guess I get it looking at the bigger picture.

    The pass was an absolute beauty, but to be fair that was also a tough catch to make. It could have been caught, probably should have been, but i'm not going to be too hard on Fowler for not coming down with it.

    I do feel bad for Trevor though, he was fantastic in the 2nd half. Should have won the game for us in the 4th quarter, and should have won the game for us in OT, twice.

    I'm just saying run on 2nd and 3rd down, get a few yards cushion, and then kick the ball. We probably would've won had Fowler caught that 3rd down pass though.

    I don't disagree with running it at all, but this is the exact opposite of what we've been collectively complaining about for over five seasons.

    It looks like Broncos are done for AFC West Title race. However, they can stay focus on the AFC wild-card race.

    I know RT had its issues but Garcia was by far the worst player on the field once Sampro was benched, and that's with Okung giving up a safety.

    I agree. All I'm saying is that if Kubes was willing to try a long kick, he might as well have run it twice and give us the last crack instead of giving KC time to go down field and score.

    The good: we can finally call the Sambraillo experiment over, probably Okung too.

    Silver linings people, looking for silver linungs.

    Yea, 1.5, meaning essentially we have to make up 2 wins. You play to win the game.

    If we finish with the same record as Miami, which looks like a distinct possibility, a tie tonight would have put us in the playoffs

    We can still very much earn our way into the playoffs. If it comes to a situation like the Shanahan days where we're backpeddaling into the playoffs hoping other teams lose because we can't win games late in the year when they mean something, then we don't deserve to be in there anyways. I still like that Kubiak was thinking about the division, but I just think he should have went for it instead of kicking the FG.
