    WADR, I think your perspective is warped. John Fox has won 55% of his games. Bill Wash won 60%.

    That was one of the best games I've ever seen. Flacco throws an awesome deep ball.

    Couldn't agree more. Whether to run or pass on 3rd and 7, that's a tossup. I can forgive that call. I can't forgive 30 seconds, 2 timeouts, 1st ballot HOFer as your QB, field goal wins the game, and you KNEEL THE BALL. Fireable offense in my opinion.

    If you don't trust Peyton Manning enough to give him a shot to pick up ~ 40 yards for a decent attempt at a field goal in that situation, you're coaching scared and playing not to lose, period.

    In Denver, with a strong legged kicker. Hell, get to 65 yards and give him a shot as time expires. Its one thing to kneel on that in a place like Pitt or San Fran, another in Denver, the FG Kickers paradise.

    Bill Walsh - 92-59, 61% (10-4 in the postseason)
    John Fox - 94-82, 53% (6-5 in the postseason)
    As you can see, 8% is a big difference. Walsh only won 2 fewer games than Fox despite coaching in 25 less games.

    One is a great coach. One is mediocre. I think you have the warped perception, WADR.

    John Fox is not a good coach. His obsession with Delhomme cost the Panthers playoff wins.

    Even Manning has admitted that his arm strength isn't what it used to be, and it was never great to begin with.

    Just ask the Falcons and Seahawks what you can do with roughly 30 seconds and some timeouts.

    John Fox coaches not to lose, winning is a byproduct.
