Shouldn't Marvin have used his timeouts...

This. 

As for SB XLIX, Belichick had this to say about not using TO's on defense:

Quote:"We saw that matchup and we certainly gave some consideration to taking a timeout there and leaving some time on the clock. I don't know if that would have been a bad thing to do. It might have been a good thing to do," Belichick said. "But it just seemed like -- in the flow of the game- that we were OK with where we were."

There is no absolute set way of doing things. Belichick's quote implies that in other situations, he may have opted to use TO's to save time on defense.
