Will Marvin ever learn clock management

Because we don't put our foot down on their throats when we have a chance. 

We had a legit chance to have a huge lead into half vs Baltimore.
Bad call by the refs and then typical chicken shit Marvin stuff keeps it close. 

Sorry but this "prevents momentum swings" is bullshit. 
Nothing gives an opposing team more momentum than the other team giving up and saying, okay, you guys get a break now. We're letting up. 

My best guess would be because we don't. 

Add those 3 we didn't get on 4th down and the fourth quarter has a different feel, no?

Add the other 3 or even 7 we chose not to pursue right before halftime and it feels a lot different.

Two things Marvin is prone to do that are no no's--take a timeout or two into the locker room at the half when you could have used it or them to go after points before halftime and play the end of the first half with no timeouts because a couple of them were used in the first qrtr.
