The Broncos ran a conservative pass-play, completed the pass in-bounds, and the clock ran out. It was unlikely that either team would score as a result of that time-out with so little time left in the half and both teams out of time-outs, but there was more of a chance that the Broncos would score (perhaps 20 to 25%%) than there was that the Bengals would score (about 2 to 3%) ...... some of the coaches making these decisions makes me wonder if they understand basic risk-reward situations.

More idiotic time-out usage, this time by l Sean Payton.

With the Bengals driving for a potentially game-winning field goal in OT, Payton called 2 time-outs ....... WHY ???

There is/was no reason to conserve time from the Broncos' vantage point ...... the Bengals' kicker is either going to make or miss the FG attempt, and if he makes it, the game is over ...... and if he misses it, the Broncos would be better off with LESS time on the clock, because the Broncos would have clinched a playoff berth with a tie.

Lo and behold, the Broncos failed to get a first down, which subsequently left the Bengals with plenty of time to get themselves into FG-range after the punt (which they did, and in fact, scored a TD.)



So as pointless/potentially dangerous as was the time-out called by the Bengals at the end of the first half, the 2 timeouts used by the Broncos in overtime were not "questionable", they were flat-out stupid ...... thank you Sean Payton, you fucking imbecile.
