HE HAD A TIMEOUT LEFT!!!

with a timeout, there is no situation that can arise that will hurt your team. Bulger could have gotten sacked, he could have gotten a penalty for intentional grounding, he could have dumped off a little flare pattern, ANYTHING, and the rams would have still been in great shape. The only reason you don't go for it is that you are worried that you are going to turn the ball over. So, Martz must have thought that there was about a 50% chance of bulger throwing an INT in 2 plays when he KNOWS not to take any chances. Because, really, everyone knows that sudden death overtime is essentially a coin toss (pun intended). Stupid stupid martz. Chris Berman and Tom Jackson ripped him in their recap, thank god. Everyone else (and believe me, i watched every program possible last night to see what people had to say) just mentioned Martz's decision in passing. Like "After they moved the ball, Martz decided to kick the fg and go into OT". Like it was a "win, lose, or tie" situation. No, it was a "win or tie" choice, and he decided to tie. Idiot!
