That was my feeling too.  Still had 2 TOs left and 25 secs.

that should be more than a feeling... that should be outrage. 2 TOs and you don't call one there? WTF? That is inexcusable. It was FAR too important a play to not think about it.

I don't know why they didn't call a TO after the first long completion with about a minute left. He lost about 25 - 30 seconds getting set for the next play (the first down gain of 8). To me it always makes a lot more sense to call the TO after a longer gain.

 

But yeah, with 2 TOs left, you have to pick up the first down before you worry about anything else.

They definitely should have looked for another 1st. They had time, TO's, and needed to get a bit closer. Bad, bad, choice of plays.

I gotta question the play calling on 3d and 2.  Assuming a 46 yarder is money is reckless.

I was saying the same thing. 3rd & 2, all they had to do was run the ball and they get a new set of downs, not to mention get a closer FG attempt, and they had the power to stop the clock with their timeouts.

 

Strangely enough I see this happen many times with other teams. If all you need is 1 yard or 2, then get the first down, and give yourself more chances.

Yeah, but it was an offsides too.  Equals out IMO.

there was a blatant 35 yard pass interference in the second quarter on randle el that wasn't called - it would have put the steelers in the red zone. as it was, they had to punt. it was a badly officiated game, but the steelers were more jobbed than the colts. the 4th and 1 call was bad, but it really had no bearing on the game - the colts ended up having enough time anyway.

you know, its taken me 15 years, but i now realize that norwood's kick wasn't all that bad! 47 yards in the grass for a SB win at night, 46 yards in a dome on turf for a tie in a divisional game? the only clutch thing about vanderjagt is that he's always going to be the token drunk.
