Fans 1, Coaches 0. Hindsight is wonderful.

If there's any doubt, which judging by Kubiak's presser comments "we knew Moats fumbled, but assumed he was out of bounds" there was, you still get up to the line quickly and a run a play. Most teams would have done that (I bet the Colts would have) instead of lolly-gagging around or worrying about leaving Peyton too much time. Sure hindsight is wonderful, but someone should have been smart enough to recognize the possibility of a fumble there (Moats, Schaub, the coaches on the field or booth...) and taken appropriate measures to ensure we kept possession of the ball. That one play might have lost us the game.
