You're almost always better off playing it safe though, if you trust your team. Look at Wade throwing that pass to Choice in the '10 opener. Pretty much cost him the game and his job

Talk about taking a bad angle. That was awful.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Yep - that was the game. Terrible coverage by the S. AWFUL. No excuse for that.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

I don't know that you can blame the coach in this situation... Doesn't Peyton basically call the play he wants at the LOS ?
Anyway plenty of blame to go around here... Bad calls, bad situational football, Peyton's int., and champ must of thought he was still covering Sam Hurd....

Props to the ravens .... They got it done....

It was awful safety play but you have to give some props to flacco. That was a very long throw. That was an amazing game.

In the last year Flacco has overwhelmingly outplayed Brady and Peyton in road playoff games. His mega deal is going to change how much we pay for Tony.

I had hoped that we would draft him back then.

I think you are missing the point. No it's not guaranteed that Peyton passing will get you a first down but he was still your best option to get the first. That's all.

You get the ball back with 30 seconds, 2 timeouts and Peyton at QB and take a knee to go into overtime.

At least call 1 play, Baltimore had no timeouts left.
