Everyone claims to be an expert when the plays are over and they know what happened, but Sunday we had no idea how many plays it would take us to score.  And we did not want to be in a goal line situation without enough time to call running plays.

We had scored ZERO points the entire second half and we have people here claiming we should have throttled down the offense to make sure we did not score to quickly.

When that drive started i had every confidence that they would go down and score. Not one single doubt. After they crossed the 50, i started talking to the tv...yelling at Fouts that they didn't need to run another play before the 2 minute warning, telling them to slow down, wondering out loud why they were snapping the ball so soon and then saying what a dumb thing to run a crossing pattern to the sideline and go out of bounds. When they scored, i didn't celebrate at all because i knew it wasn't over. I was hoping for a stop or a turnover but i knew it wasn't over. My wife even asked me why i wasn't excited and i told her they left too much time on the clock...so she proceeded to ask me what that meant. 

I get that you score when you can, but there are instances where you can manipulate the clock based on the time, field position and how many timeouts you have. I've seen way too many games where this happens and i've seen/read too many players talk about it.
