Just run the ball a couple of times and get another 1st down so that Manning doesn't have a full 2 minutes to go the length of the field. Same thing with Rivers in the Charger game coaches all over the league do it all the time, it's not too much to ask imo.

Considering how our defense was playing, I see them covering that & more fairly easily. |

The Charger game was just terrible. Wait until there is 1 second left on the play clock instead of 14 to call the timeout and run the ball a single time and Rivers doesn't have enough time to score. We did nothing.

Manning was shredding us If our defense was even holding our own it wouldn't be a big deal but our D was dying out there. I like Reid and the Clock management didn't lose the game, but it sure didn't help us either.

Time was a factor early in that drive - only because we had the entire field to go. Once we got the ball at the 20, time wasn't a factor no matter how slowly we moved. |

After that, with 4 downs to work with, maybe then a little consideration can be given to the clock by running plays that, if not successful, at least result in running some time off. But yeah, when you need a TD, you can't make playing the clock the #1 priority.

I'm not saying he was right, but it seemed to me that he was trying to get enough play clock on there that Manning could have a stopped drive and they'd still have a shot at scoring a FG for a win.
You can argue all day if that was stupid or not, but it is the only reasonable justification for the way he was managing the clock at the end. |

Which do you think provided us the better chance to win? Making it into the endzone from 2 yards away in a single play or stopping the Denver offense from getting into field goal range with 2 minutes left on the clock.

We needed a FIRST DOWN there. Calling the best possible play and running some time off the clock were not mutually exclusive in that situation. And, the play that ended up being called was hardly the best possible play to get a first down. Alex ended up throwing the ball across his body from right to left and the pass was telegraphed to the Denver defenders, with the resultant timing being all in their favor.
I would have faked a handoff to Charles up the middle off a reverse pivot, then boot legged Alex to the wide side for a run/pass option. |
