He should never have needed to call a TO to think about kicking. We're down by the goal line, it's 3rd and 1, Gibbs/Saunders need to think 1 play ahead and know what you're gonna do if they don't get the 1st down. We're paying them $7M combined a year and they need that much time to run a routine FG? Waste a TO then kick anyway?? Joke.
Failing to transition to teams effectively is on the coaches, no doubt.
My point was mainly that I didn't think that was the killer. Failing to score a TD from the 3, and then giving up 20 4th quarter points to the iggles and single-handly reviving Reid and McNabb's jobs were the real issues, IMO. The TO is a red-herring. Or did y'all miss our defensive COLLAPSE out there?

It's our own fault. We can never manage the clock in the second half. It is the coach's fault and instead of always making excuses go out and do your fucking job. Bottom line, just get the fucking job done. Don't always waist your timeouts like they don't matter with our without the lead.

Well, yeah there were mistakes, but it sure looked like a catch to me and I looked at it more than once. If we had converted that it would have changed the entire momentum of that drive. We screwed up a lot but that still was a shitty call.

Now I was at a bar and watching the game without the benefit of sound, but it looked like a catch to me. McCardell had 3 steps in bounds after the ball hit his hands. Were people questioning whether he had possession with 2 steps in bounds? Was he bobbling the ball? Otherwise, it looked like an obvious catch to me.
It would have been worth a challenge if we had any timeouts left to use.

I don't understand. What is the BIG deal between a 30 and 25 yard FG? Just take the penalty if you know you are going to Kick.

I agree. The use of that timeout was senseless and might have cost us the game. Then again, there are 4-5 plays that arguably cost us the game where the coaches were not to blame.
