Some great opportunities for coach's to use strategy. What would you have done in each?

Your ball
2:00 left, clock is stopped
1st and goal at the 1 yard line.
You lead by 1.
No timeouts left for either team

What do you do?

You're kicking off
You lead by 8
1:10 left
Penalties allow you to kick off from your opponents 40!
No timeouts left for either team

What would you instruct your players? (Kickoff team)
What would you instruct your players? (Return Team)

If anyone saw the game, they know what I'm talking about.

EDIT: Forgot to mention timeouts

that ended up being a great game.
Madden made several great comments on Denver's run game and even used the telestrator to show classic examples of IZ used in the game.

Meanwhile, SD put on a clinic on using the counter gap / shuffle pulling linemen all night.

1 yd line up by one with under 2min? Kick the FG and milk it.

Denver just mismanaged the clock in the final drive and penalties killed them throughout the game. I am happy for Denver in resurrecting Jake, but I was kinda hoping to see Jay Cutler in action last night.

That being said, I don't know if there is a QB I pull for more, than Philip Rivers...........
