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.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
