This doesn't just apply to this game either.  Maybe they're just so used to Marvin burning all of the timeouts in the first quarter that they don't even put together a plan for these situations.

I was pissed beyond comprehension with that.  Absolutely no excuse to not get at least a FG at that point.  The passing game was working, and Dalton was hitting every pass......and we start off with a run.
