and if we hadn't taken a loss on the first running play, maybe different calls are made.

Re: Clock management at end of regualtion
 

Both are equally important. But they called the series like you wanted and what happened? We lost.

No way our D would have got us the ball back.

Re: Clock management at end of regualtion
 

Atlanta kicked the ball with 4 seconds left, add 45 seconds to that and we'd have a shot at a FG!:p

Problem with that theory is that I am going to give Atlanta credit for knowing hot to manage the clock better than we did and not give us that time on the clock.

and it was from over 50 yards, not a given. We just had a unfortunate mistake at the wrong time that cost us, bad luck.

Re: Clock management at end of regualtion
 

The one unfortunate mistake was sending our Defense to Atlanta.

Re: Clock management at end of regualtion
 

The problem with your theory about the problem with my theory is that we still had all 3 of our timeouts left.

Re: Clock management at end of regualtion
 

We could have used them as we ran down the clock some earlier in the drive.

Running run plays in the mid field area take a minute off the clock and then proceed to score.

My other point is this...

We have definitive proof what happens when you don't worry about the clock and score the TD quickly. The other team has time to score and win the game - They did win the last I checked.
