Because of the score, the time outs were not an issue. In fact, the first half time outs helped to get the big lead. ...There was no point in saving time outs for the end of the 1st half or the end of the 2nd half in this one.....Time outs were a non factor.

My only issue is, once again, clock management.  We wasted all of our timeouts it seems like.  We only had 1 before the half.  I mean, I think it's great if they NEED to make an adjustment.  But it seemed like they were confused sometimes.  Good thing we didn't need those timeouts but we would have in a closer game

Team look very good! I thought timeouts were used well. Great all around game. No real weak spots stick out! Who-dey

Agreed. That has always been a problem for Marvin Lewis football teams. It is really irritating to take a timeout right after the other team takes one.

Don't get why AJ McCarron wasn't put in at the roughly 8 minute mark. It was the perfect time to get him some live action.

My issue was Pac Mans dirty play, totally uncalled for, he should be suspended.

No.... now common, there's a difference between playing physical and playing like a jackass. Not sure he will miss playing time( hell take Roger to Court) but i think he will have one heck of a fine. I see the same boneheaded decisions from Dre too. The other thing was playing Andy after taking key OL men out. But what the heck we won and are in 1st in the AFCN Baby.

The only time a TO is wasted is when you end the game and have some left.

Marvin doesn't call the plays.

From what I saw the first time through cooper was grabbing and pulling at jones and it looked to me like cooper brought jones down on top of him... Adam then gave him a minor a$$-whooping.  At first glance, yeah he overreactrd but... If someone drags me down like that I'm going to strike back as best as I can. Most here would I'm sure...

And I'm not even sure that he meant to bash it on the helmet because he obviously knew it flew off, but did he know that pushing his head down would smash it into the helmet?  Did he know it was right behind him?

Split-second move and I wonder if he even thought "I'm going to push his head against the helmet," or did he just think "I'm going to push his head into the ground," or it seemed like a knee-jerk reaction where he didn't even realize the helmet was there.

I'd bet my money that Andy called that play. He loves to audible that play in that situation.

We stunk on 3rd down too, let's not forget that one.

Not defending Adam at all, but I love how everyone is completely neglecting the punch Cooper threw as they were running down the field and out of the play.

That doesn't happen, Adam does nothing.

No disrespect intended but I think you expect wrong. Maybe one game and possibly nothing but a hefty fine.

Agree.

I pretty much loved seeing the fire and passion ! That's pretty much been one of the main ingredients missing from this team.

Having said that, you gotta keep it between the whistles.

Why would anyone here wish a suspension for one of our better players? You don't like winning? Nasty defense? Emotion?
I hated to see the penalties, but I loved the "don't f*ck with us" attitude.

Jk. I agree. Idk why Marvin allows Hue to call bone headed plays.

I would've liked to AJ get a little time in at QB too.

HC should have made sure the starters weren't in there in the first place.

Why dont ppl get this bent out of shape over a punch? That head slam was really weak, id take twenty of those before a clean uppercut to my jaw.
