Why are you going to trust a ham strung unit that has not got pressure on the Steelers all day to suddenly perform?

Letting the clock tick down a little each snap is an easy thing to do, and totally more realistic than depending on our D at that point.  Even if you let the clock wind down an extra 10 seconds a snap could have meant the difference in the game.

This article is a little extreme and has the Bengals getting it down to 16 seconds.   I'm pretty sure we could have safely got it down to 30 seconds.

A lot better than 1:12
