Clock Management Issue

The reason that he sent the FG team on w/ 14 seconds left was b/c the coaches thought that the ref's would run off 10 seconds b/c of the penalty. It turns out they didn't run off the 10 seconds b/c of the False start which of course left 14 seconds. So...they really thought there would be only 4 seconds left therefore just allowing time enough to kick a FG. When Reid called time out they realized that there was time to try one more pass into the endzone....thank god.

How is it that the helmet mic's ever stop working. The fact that there is ever technical difficulties with them when Dan invests so much money into this team is shocking to me.

You've got thousands of people working for you. You are a billionaire. Why don't you spend a little cash, and order the system re-built ground up with new state of the art equipment.

Is all of his money tied up in labor?

Didn't the Eagles only have like 9 players on the field or something like that for that near field goal attempt? Why aren't we questioning Reid's coaching skills there? And to think there are people here who call him one of the five greatest coaches of all time.

I guess im more of a family minded sports fan. And I coach little league baseball. And i think that if you can't parent, you can't coach. So I don't put him even close to the top 5 of coaches. Family first.

I don't think it's his parenting skills at this point. His kids are "big boys" they can make their own decisions. Obviously they are making the right ones. Not Andy Reid's fault.

Hm so I guess less of you think it's an issue that I would have thought. Its not about the radio going out. That was the 1st delay of game. After that they had probably decided the play. There still is no excuse for sending out the FG unit with 14 seconds left in the half, when you clearly have time for one more shot to the endzone. Period.

I just listened to the Gibbs presser 9/18 today and he said it was NOT because of that. He said the coaches knew the rules and the call, it was all his mistake and he claimed responsibility. It's great he is claiming responsibility but at the same time this kinda of stuff cant happen again.
