    0:08 left on the clock. 3rd and 5, Ball on the 24 yard line. Score 27-10. Kick the Field goal. Leave 0:04 on the clock.

    For the life of me I don't know why you don't take a quick shot at the end zone. I know MT is not a clock specialist but does he really think it takes 8 full seconds to run a side line end zone route?

    Nah, made it a 2 possession game and why take the risk . Could've took a sack or some one might not of been able to get out of bounds . We did have zero time outs or am I mistaken

    take the points - off sides, holding, sack etc and no points before half and there would be a thread about Tomlin and clock management

    You know, I ride MT about his poor time management and (lack of) tactical decision making. This one, I can live with. And it's partially because of the one of those reasons (both his and Ben's fault). Do you really believe that this team could have run a play and still have time left on the clock to try the FG if it failed? I don't.

    I think a lot of folks would have blown a gasket if we tried and left 3 pts out there and wound up with 0.

    Not at all, it was the right move. Pretty much every reason as to why has already been posted.

    speaking of crazy calls did you see the Ravens fake punt inside their own 20?
