Subsequently, the Colts had no time left to try to get into field goal range after the 49ers did indeed tie the game with a touchdown pass on 4th down on the very next play.

As far as I'm concerned you can't repeat this post often enough.
Irsay should've let Manning run the team for a day. Manning would've fired Pagano before he could get off the field.
