I'm not sure I agree with what the Broncos did

[EnergizedLib]

Only twice has a 64-yard field goal or longer ever been made, once in that Denver altitude, the other by someone who looks to be a rare place kicker headed for Canton.

The Broncos, rather than go for it on fourth and five with two timeouts and not much time left, opt for a 64-yard field goal, which was admittedly close, but every game counts, especially in a league like the NFL.

That’s not a good debut for Nathaniel Hackett.

1. Denver played well enough to win

except for those two fumbles on the goal line.
Ouch!!

2. And all of those penalties

Penalties cost downs and gave away free first downs, and was just as damaging as the fumbles. Plus poor goal line play-calling illustrating Einstein's definition of insanity.

Very disappointing.

3. I agree

I would have went for it. Just a 7-10 yard pass and ...
I would have preserved some of that time with the timeouts.

4. Horrible coaching and clock management at the end of the game

They pay Wilson 250+ million for 5 years, he is a future hall of famer, and instead of putting the ball in his hands on 4-5, they go for an nfl distance record tying FG. McMannis has a carrier 1-10 over 60 yds

Then he spent his timeouts with 15 secs left, for a purpose unknown.

Nobody agrees with it. Nor should they.

5. Elway is an idiot
