Letting the clock tick down a little each snap is an easy thing to do, and totally more realistic than depending on our D at that point.  Even if you let the clock wind down an extra 10 seconds a snap could have meant the difference in the game.

This article is a little extreme and has the Bengals getting it down to 16 seconds.   I'm pretty sure we could have safely got it down to 30 seconds.

A lot better than 1:12

This is the dumbest article I have seen in my life.  It tells exactly how to run the clock when you know exactly what is going to happen on every plan.  Anyone can look like a coaching genius when they know exactly what is going to happen.

The fact is that if the Bengals had started milking the clock on the second play of the drive way back in their own territory the crowd would have started booing.  

Even when we had first and ten at the Pitt 11 it could have taken us 8 plays to get into the end zone.  Even with 2 timeouts we had to be careful with the clock.
