Clock mgmt was very poor before the half again...it didn't matter this game so not a huge deal, but it's troubling that these guys (all Schafer?) can't get this right.

We had one TO, and we're trying to at least force a punt, maybe end up with a FG try or Hail Mary, right?  Or maybe go for the block.

The clock/TO situation worked out so if they ran it three times, and we used our one TO wisely, they'd have to punt with maybe 12 seconds left.

Instead, after one of those runs, we let like 15 seconds run off the clock, THEN called a timeout.

The net result was they only had to run one more play and then the half ran out.

It's not a huge deal but it will be in a close game where we squander an oppty like that.

Have said it before, but these coaches should play Tecmo Bowl with Bo Jackson vs Christian Okeye where neither team could stop the other and it all came down to clock/possession mgmt so you scored last (unless the opponent went with LT/Giants and tried to Phil McConkey you to death)

Just an observation but honestly they need to improve this...in today's game this is about all a head coach does on game day right?
