dave mcbride Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I thought Coaching 101 says that you should never burn timeouts in the second half. Better to have a nothing play than to use a TO. And calling a TO with two seconds left in the third quarter only to see it blow up in your face? That's karmic payback, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when ya think othe rteam is going to burn the clock and y afail to put anyone from your punt team on the field ya have to call time out. If I was browns I would have hiked the ball and gotten the first down since we are so well coached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, the TO at the end of the 3rd Quarter was mandatory once we decided not to put any players on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm actually okay with calling the one at the end of the 3Q to make Cleveland punt into the wind. Of course, Roscoe's Plimptonesque 15-yard loss on the return made up for that decision...

We physically cannot comprehend his decisions because the average H. sapiens sapiens is not equipped to understand the ultra-high level of jauron-think. Perhaps one day someone will evolve a high enough mental capacity to understand why jauron does the things he does, but until then, we are left to stare in amazement at his awesomely intelligent gameday decisions.

Lofton80 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It showed a lack of organization. If it was part of a strategy, why did the team walk to the sidelines ? The team is poorly coached with no accountability by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was browns I would have hiked the ball and gotten the first down since we are so well coached 1st down? There was 1 Bills player on the field, it would have been a touchdown with 10 guys to block one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, unlike bad play calling and horrible offensive line play, you can't use them again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
