We're burned one timeout while we were in goal line defense. We burned another when we facing 3rd and 2 and were already in field goal range, only to call a deep pass down the sideline.
You need to save timeouts for late in the game. Burning through them and calling luxury timeouts puts you into the position we just saw. Having to spike the ball and waste a down, having to kick a field goal early rather than run another play.
I totally agree. I was bitching and complaining when he took those time outs. There is no reason to put Burrow in a situation where he has no time outs and needing to move down the length of the field in about 2 min. That's way too much to put on him. It would be different if we were up by 3 scores, which we didn't even score that in the whole game. I don't see any coach worth their salt calling a TO in those situations when the game is so close.
