What is with our awful clock management?

SoZKillA : 12/4/2022 9:32 pm
All year, especially in 2 mins situations.

Today before half… not one shot to the EZ?

Daboll wasting second not calling a TO after the Robinson fumble OOBs?
Agreed.

What a horrible use of a timeout to save 9 seconds and waste all that time on the next play. I wondered if we had a substitution problem. There have been quite a few times this year where we've had 10 guys on the field.

Daboll and Kafka had a lot of Joe Judge in them today.

I would like to know 2 things

WTF were they doing in the Richie James/Saquon mix up? A first down there and our odds of winning would have gone way up.

What was Daboll doing calling a TO on D there right before we got the ball back the final time?

2 huge missteps.

You're watching TV wrong. Washington called TO there, not Daboll.
I was shocked

It really seemed Daboll was more interested in making sure they didn’t get the ball back than he was scoring a TD.

It seems to me the early season Daboll- playing to win- is regressing somewhat and hs now become- playing not to lose.
Daboll has made mistakes and lost games

but not today. And we shouldn't expect perfection out of a first time head coach or any head coach either.

Daboll doesn't call plays.

Given the playoff implications of a loss, playing for a tie today was absolutely fine im my estimation. I think Daboll made the same calculation.
It has been BAD all year

Dabs still doesn't know how or when to use his timeouts.

At least he doesn't waste them on defense and early in the game. But, he doesn't get how to manage the clock at the end. Hopefully he can approve upon that in the off season.

Not throwing at least ONCE into the end zone at the end of the first half was a disgrace.
I didn't have a big problem with it at the end of the game

I was really frustrated with the way they handled the end of the first half. They were far too focused on not punting it back to WAS, which I think was justifiable at the outset of the drive. But once they picked up a first down, they kept that same approach and failed to shift focus into capitalizing on what was a legitimate opportunity to score a touchdown.

A FG in that situation is hardly demoralizing, but they left a lot of chicken on the bone.
