So rather than try and at the very least force Detroit to burn TOs, we should stop the clock for them and possibly throw a pick?

we were aggressively trying to move the ball, we passed a hell of a lot better than we ran this game... running we would have went 3 and out so fast they wouldn't need to burn timeouts...

Is that a serious statement? Even if you go 3-0 and punt you're still forcing them to burn time outs, even if you drop the back in the behind the line you're taking time off the clock.

even if you get 1.5 to 2 yds a carry it would still set up a more manageable
4th down. payton has a serious problem with his ego to just pass the dam thing 24-7.

I didn't have a problem with them passing to try and pick up first downs. I did however have a problem with the score 20-10, instead of showing a killer instinct they played conservatively and kicked a field goal to go up 23-10. I had a bad feeling from then on.
