My first reaction was to think "wtf why are they not calling a timeout." But Philly had already had that somewhat goofy defensive score, and the only way you're letting the Eagles back in the game is calling timeout and they hit some flukey play or get a Pass interference call and go down and score right before halftime, all of a sudden you're only up 6 points and they get the ball starting 2nd half.


Do i like his clock management here? Not really. Do I understand it? Mostly. It was extremely safe

I wouldn't like to see it on a regular basis.

I guess you have to judge the opponent. If that's against the Bucs in the playoffs I'm livid. Against a team we were just way better than I guess I'm ok with it. Hindsight is easy but the only reason the Eagles even scored at that point was because of Dak's fumble in the endzone.

Absolutely agree. Against almost anyone else (and taking into account the score) I want them to aggressively stop the clock in that situation
