It wasn't John Fox who let a guy behind him in the only play possible to tie them. I mean you get beat by Joe fuckin Flacco with under a minute to play with no timeouts 80 yards away from the endzone with a top ten defense?
Fox was smart and not let Manning lose the game in that situation. It was his defense that let Manning eventually lose the game.

That was clearly an audible though because Peyton saw something, you can question it but it didn't workout. Obviously Peyton is excellent at audibling to run but on 3rd and 7 thats tough not having the game in his hands. I don't know what he saw as he is way smarter than me in looking at NFL defenses but pretty weird call to run in that spot.
A couple of questions I have, hopefully you guys cananswer for me:
1. Why did it look like Manning was just throwing everything 20 yards and in, was it the glove?
2. Doesn't Manning change most of the plays?
3. Were the Broncos play calling just too safe? Were they trying to sit on the lead and it backfired?

[h=1]Broncos give defensive backs coach Ron Milus the boot[/h]Posted by Mike Florio on January 15, 2013, 8:08 PM EST
Notwithstanding Pearson’s offensive pass interference in the game that coined the phrase “Hail Mary,” the Vikings failed to put safety Paul Krause in position to prevent a long touchdown pass. On Saturday, the Broncos committed a similar gaffe by not having safety Rahim Moore deep enough to keep Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones from running past the secondary and catching a game-tying touchdown pass.
It didn’t help that Moore grossly misplayed an underthrown ball, jumping too soon and flailing like a blindfolded kid trying to implode a piñata hanging three feet higher than his stick can reach.
Though Moore may eventually take the fall for the failure of the defense, defensive backs coach Ron Milus is the first one to go. Per multiple reports, Milus has been fired.
Milus re-joined the Broncos in 2011 with head coach John Fox, who had hired Milus in 2009 with the Panthers. Though it’s unclear whether Milus already was on thin ice, the unprecedented manner in which the Broncos squandered a late lead undoubtedly sealed his fate.
It was the most stunning late-game touchdown pass in the divisional round since Drew Pearson pushed Nate Wright to the ground more than 37 years ago.Notwithstanding Pearson’s offensive pass interference in the game that coined the phrase “Hail Mary,” the Vikings failed to put safety Paul Krause in position to prevent a long touchdown pass.
