Wade Phillips, former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, thought the Broncos should have kicked a field goal during their final possession of the first half:
No FG. ???

Jay Feely has made 308 career field goals in the NFL, and concurs with Coach Phillips:
Completely disagree with that call to go for it. Take the 3 pts, get some momentum and go into halftime and make adjustments

Field goals are a fundamental part of football, and I agree with Feely and Phillips. Teams lose by a field goal all the time, and the Broncos may find themselves in that position late in the second half.
I still believe the Broncos have a great chance to get back into the game. Â 22-0 is a huge deficit to overcome, but if the Broncos keep the Seahawks from scoring in the third, the fourth quarter will be very exciting. Â Two touchdowns and the Broncos are right there.
It would be great to see people in the Twitter world completely change their mind about Peyton Manning. Â He needs to take the approach that this is the final 30 minutes of his football career, and shock the world!
