b) Clock it - wasting a down when there is plenty of time?
c) Calmy rush his team down the field to run a REAL PLAY, that they are about to snap at :27 seconds?
Answer? c) and the kicker is it shocked the Bengals so much - that THEY had to call a TO. Which of course now gives the team time to think of a good play - when their no-huddle plays were probably much more limited.
Do you know how many veteran QBs screw that up?

Not to take away from him but that's more of a coaching thing. Reid most likely gave him 2 playcalls so as soon as the first play was over all the players knew the second play and were ready to run it. It's one of the few instances of Reid having great clock management skills.
