Gary Kubiak makes an odd decision

I mean, if you think he has even a 40% chance of making it, you have to go for the kick I think.

Hell, I even think it would have been a better choice to go for it there rather than punt it, they only picked up 15 yards of field position anyway because they punted it into the endzone.

But....since Gano missed after being frozen, Kubiak comes out looking fine.

The beauty of football. Nobody cares if you win.

I didn't think it was a bad decision when it first happened. The decisions you make won't always end in good results, but smart football decisions will have good results more times than it wont. This time it did.

15 yards made a difference though. A 52 yard fg kick is much harder than a 37 yarder.
