I've very clearly stated there's a vast difference between a play that happens in what would've had to been in the 1st quarter (unless it was in OT, but based on what your tone clearly wasn't) than in the final minutes. If the Broncos score a TD there's still 3 quarters for the Bears to come back. If the Raiders kick the field goal it's game over.
The Broncos have a better chance of winning if that play stands...but it's still far from a guarantee.

Pretty sure it was in the 4th quarter. The Bears didn't kick a field goal, because Denver got the ball. But it should've been a Denver touchdown.
As for your unreasonable view on the Oakland FG timeout fiasco I would say this...if a coach isn't doing everything in his power, within the rules, to win a game he isn't doing a very good job. The Raiders were lucky to have an opportunity to win the game in the first place and certainly didn't deserve to win.
As for the Cardinals, I like them and agree they are a far cry from the Jets....not from the Broncos though....who, by the way since we're talking about missing players, have been without their starting (and probably HOF) Center, starting LG (and backup C), #1 WR and starting DE for the entire season (save 2 games of Javon Walker). The Cardinals aren't the only team in the NFL with injury issues.
