We can't talk about it more than we already have

NFL coaches refusing to take 3 points.

And especially in THIS game, are you fucking kidding me?

I don't have a bet on either side, but cmon Sean Payton. 10-0 in a ball game like this would of actually felt like 17-0.

Let's see if these 3 points matter in the end, I suspect they will.

Gotta get the points!!!      

@undermysac

 Thinking the same thing and I agree 100% 

3 is like 7 in this game idiotic coaches...thought Payton smarter than that..its why love mcdonald for seahawks has went for it less anyone and takes 3 if he gambling like other coaches wouldn't be one seed

Agreed

If it was Bo Nix in there, maybe I'd be ok with it. But still...

Denver's D is playing lights out as of now. We'll see if the game tracks the same in the 2H.

@undermysac

 they trying to win the game in the 1Q

2 possession game with the best defense, nuff said.

Wow...

Yeah.....

All you need is to win by 1 point to win the game.  10-0 is 2 possession 

But thanks for the gamble because I'll go for it if I have the point spread involved 

Payton went from coaching masterpiece to coaching malpractice in a matter of minutes! How do you lose your mind like that, after years of being in games like this? Incredible. 

Need a NE FG B4 the half 

Like many bettors here, it looks like they won with Denver +4 on the IQ

@undermysac

 You are absolutely right.

If it was a run, it wouldn't be so egregious.

In terms of psychological warfare it's actually not a good thing.

Blows my mind Sac. This isn’t a video game. This is the most important game of a lot of these players lives and going up 10-0 changes the entire complexity of this game. Maye might have crumbled mentally given his soft schedule blah blah blah. Who knows either way but refusing to go up 10-0 at home with a backup QB is inexcusable by Peyton. He should know better. Fuck analytics. Go up 10 points at home as underdogs and fight the rest of the game with your defense. Maye looks terrible today. Now watch NE win by 3 Denver might not even cover now tho 

@undermysac

 Couldn’t agree more 

sooo crazy 

I also had broncos 1H over 9.5 wtf

Lot of points botched in this game from both sides and should make for an interesting if not boring second half. 

I feel like I want to play the patriots -3 now , the broncos completely dominated first half and nothing to show for it 

@begginerboy

 That WAS a terrible coaching job in first half..

Better improve or Broncos aren't going or deserve to be in Super Bowl with only himself to blame

Totally agree. Chance to go up 10 with your backup and the other team not moving the ball on your defense at all.

Do these coaches realize a) it's the first half and b) you already HAVE the lead

Used to be you would only go for it on 4th down if you were losing and it was the 4th quarter. 

The analytics are BS. I see teams getting stuffed all the time and especially when it's a big spot.
