The Ravens' clock management at the end of the game was smart. I was actually calling for Zac to get a timeout in, because I knew Harbaugh was just draining the clock to score with no time left and go for two.
I think they took it a bit too far and probably should have saved themselves about 10 more seconds. But letting it tick down was not at all as dumb as it was portrayed to be.
Marvin's clock management was ordinary overall, but he was terrible about wasting timeouts early in halves. He just tossed them around frivolously like they were irrelevant. One of the goofiest moments of the Marvin era seared into my mind was when he called a timeout on a kickoff.
Yeah, not that I want to say anything good about Hairball, but he stated he wanted the run the clock down before scoring because he did not want to give Burrow any time to get to midfield and let our "money from 60" kicker, who can't make an extra point, win the game with a field goal.
