Wasted Timeouts

Recommended Posts

All 3 timeouts in the first half were wasted because we couldn't snap the ball quickly enough. Luckily that didn't hurt us, but it easily could have. However, it happened again in the 2nd half once in addition to the timeout we used with the challenge, which was a waste because Rivera should have thrown it earlier. If we have 2 timeouts to begin the last drive instead of 1 (which was wasted) we can stop the clock and have a great chance to setup a shorter field goal for Gano.

Looks like we had the same thread idea.  I'll just move my post here.

Who's to blame for that lousy clock management?  Was it just Shula taking forever to make the playcalls?   Cam forgetting how to read the playclock after all those headshots?  Or was it something else?  We were forced to kick a 50-yard FG for the win because we gave up our last timeout for no reason.  Did we hire Andy Reid to manage our clock?  What's the deal?

1st half has nothing to do with it we was up... They cheated us in 2nd half shouldn't even have had to call the timeout in the 2nd sanders was SHORT!

Poor Clock Management has been a staple for this team since Rivera got here. Not a dig at the 2x COTY, but it's really fuging bad. Hearing Collinsworth hammer in just how bad it is was outright embarrassing for this team. 

 

Literally couldn't look at the tube when we called that T.O in the 4th.

    • Looks like we're fifth in running plays/play action plays when in the lead and about 10th in the league when we fall behind.  The biggest thing I take from this is not that we drop off like that, because every team does, but that we drop off so much. A lot of the best teams don't  drop off much, depending on the game situation, preferring to stick to their game plan through out. Some of those are very good teams. Baltimore barely deviates from their run/action heavy plan. At the other end, KC also barely deviates, but they have one of the least run oriented attacks in the league by these stats. On the other side, there are teams that make even bigger shifts (based on last year's performance) and they are teams that for various reasons found themselves in desperation attempts. Dallas, Atlanta, the Browns, Bucs and Bengals were all literally throwing out their game plans and trying to either lean on their top end QB or were just frantically trying to create something downfield. Considering the years of us completely abandoning the run (oh those Matt Rhule days), maybe we are starting to stabilize. Don't even get me started on the Reich days...  
    • I am kindof in the camp that its not an addiction for him just a dumb ass kid who didnt think he would get caught.  I think the "addiction" angle was the story they went with in hopes of not being banned for life   But I doubt we show interest as I think he is going to be pricey (Draft capital wise)
    • It shows we like to run the ball but abandon it pretty quickly when we are behind.
