But as far as the play goes, I'm not totally opposed to the play they ran or reaming Kubiak for it. I get it. If works he's a genius. But with that being said, I still think running something more conservative or higher percentage would've been better in that situation and at that point in the game. Again, first down = kill. JMHO.

Kubiak did not call a deep pass to AJ. That was not the only route in the play. Schaub throws the pass because he likes what he sees there (and the CB is riding on AJ's back but is somehow not flagged).
As for no confidence in Graham from distance, get used to it. But even if we had Janikowski I say go for it. A conversion ends the game. A FG makes it 15 instead of 12 and does almost nothing for us.
