But is it just me or do we need to be better at managing our TO's? Anyway, a W is a W, I'm psyched for Pittsburgh!
There was a thread in the preseason about the team's seemingly poor use of time outs early in the half during games. When we blew through two of them early on, I was reminded of that thread. But I recall the plays we did run following the timeouts as working out at least reasonably well, certainly better than a formation-related penalty, or worse (a turnover or big loss), so I would rather use timeouts when you know you need them, vs taking one or two into the locker room with you unused. But certainly it would have been nice to have had one of those at the end of the first half to take our time a bit, though I was also impressed with the efficiency to get teams out there and make the FG before halftime.
