Again, there was just as many people thinking "nothing wrong".

The coaching staff thought they made the right decison at the time. (And apparently they still do as they have sent in a report to the league office).

Coaching screwups, bad play calls, misuse of the clock - stuff like that happens to all coaching staffs. You hope your team makes as few blunders as possible. (How about the Colts calling timeout and giving K Brown a second chance on the missed the FG? Or taking the ball out of Peyton's hand and letting Reggie Wayne chunk it? How dumb does that look?) You have to get use to a little bit of it.... Doesn't mean you have to like it - but you should be able to tolerate a certain amount...

I don't place this particular incident squarely on the coaches - rather it was a "team" fail. Moats/Schaub/someone other than a few voices on the sidelines could have said "f*** it, we gotta run a play now". Of course, I say this in hindsight....
