Peyton did exactly what he wanted to do, I bet they didn't even want to score

Because Jason Garrett has less understanding of time an situation in a football game than any other NFL coach.

Well, if they manage to stuff the run (for the first time all game), you hold them to a FG. But yeah...

In a game where you couldn't stop them on 3rd and long, they suddenly thought they could stop them on 3rd and 1? This team just lacks the big-time awareness to be true contenders

I hate to chime in here as a Giants fan but that was not a smart move by Dallas coaching staff. Let Denver score and give Romo 1:40 and 3 timeouts and see what he will do.

The answer is: because if we stop them on that third down, they kick the fg and we have time to match it. He made it by the nose of the ball.

That said, I would have let them score. Of course, if I'm the Broncos, I deliberately don't score, so there's that.

we have a crappy head coach that doesn't understand situational football or any football for that matter.

I am horse from screaming at the set to let them score...completely moronic...less than that...it's sub-moronic

How many close games have we lost under Garrett? We should've let them score on the first play end of story.

Stupid, stupid decision. One of many in his "reign". I'm tired of Garrett, he needs to go and go quickly. Ice your own kicker, now this...
I really don't even want to hear what his excuse will be.

Garrett has ZERO situation awareness.

This is exactly right. This isn't the first time that has happened. Same thing happened against Kansas City. We used all of our timeouts, and that was that. Let them score, keep some time, and keep your timeouts...

The guy has no imagination.

The only justification is if you stop Denver on 3rd and 1, they kick just the field goal. But given the defense's performance today, let them score and give the offense 1:40 to try and send it to OT.
