...what was your reaction to the Colts' loss tonight?
Let me sum it up in case you missed it. The Colts, who have had red zone problems all game, are down by three with 1:43 left in the game. They get the ball back at their own 36-yard line, and Manning hits Stokley across the middle for a gain of 45 yards. Huge momentum shift! The Colts are now at the New England 19-yard line! Manning hits Harrison for a quick slant, then throws an incompletion. Third down. 0:49 left on the clock. Colts on the Patriots' 17-yard line.
Rather than playing for the tie, the Colts forgo a chip-shot field goal and instead decide to take head for the endzone only to have Manning get sacked by a blitzing Willis McGinest, loss of 12. What once was a very make-able 34-yard field goal attempt suddenly became a difficult 48-yard attempt. What happens? Vanderjagt misses, wide left. Game over. Colts gamble and lose.
So, how do Rams fans react? Fans who were critical of Martz's decision to play for OT rather than risk a sure-fire field goal to send the game into overtime, what were you thoughts on tonight? Really, I'm curious. Curious enough to give this dead horse one last beating.
