Clock Management Issue

So I love the win, but I have noticed the last couple years every Skins game there seems to be a clock management issue right before halftime or at the end of the 4th. Not just play calling issues but actual problems such as the coaches not knowing what to do, the players not getting ready in time.

I was listening to some radio coverage after the game and they were talking about how this could cost the Skins a game this year if we dont figure out whatever the hell is going on.

Now in defense agaisnt those who are calling Gibbs a pansy last night right before half, on the postgame he said that the first delay was due to communication going out on JC's helmet. That is forgiven.

The second was just a false start, which was terrible. But what most people are pissed about is how Gibbs was ready to take the FG with 14 seconds left. Now I dont think its because he was "scared" because in the post game presser he said that the reason he sent out the FG unit is because the PLAYERS were confused, some of the O unit was out while the FG unit was out as well. The clock was running down and he didnt want us to move WAY out of FG range because of the confusion.

So now the question is that some of the fault of the coaching staff? I would say yes. Why is half the O out there on the field and half the FG unit. They should have had this figured out along with the many possible scenarios that could potentially unfold.

I think it might have to do with Gibbs' staff being very unorganized rather than Gibbs just being conservative. In that case it is actually more alarming to me.

Thoughts?
