I've seen a lot of stare downs like that lead to penalties. But I guess the refs can call it when they feel like it.

That was mindblowingly stupid. You have 42 seconds left. You have the lead. You're deep in your own territory. You just fired your backup QB....

so let's drop back for a pass!

Anyone who bitched about Kubiak's bad play calls (and he had some whoppers), this was just as moronic. WHY risk injury to your QB on a no-chance-in-hell pass attempt when you should just sit on the ball for two plays and take a lead in the locker room?

Really hard to root for such monumental stupidity.
