Williams was probably as much to blame as Eberflus for the "time out" game. First off Williams took a huge sack instead of throwing it away that did two things: it took them out of range for a game tying FG with over 30 seconds left and it ran the clock. Both of these things started the chain rection and changed how they would handle the last minute of the game. They were clearly going for a FG since they were so far out and down 3 points. Then, after teh sack, Williams doesn't get a play off until there are 6 seconds left which guaranteed it was the last play of the game and left them no chance for a game tying FG. That was ridiculous. I think the HC assumed the QB would get the play off much quicker than that. Yes, he should have taken a TO there and not trusted his QB to handle things quicker, but the QB screwed up as well. I think Eberflus was thinking rush up to the line, hike the ball at 12ish seconds, complete a pass, and then call the TO and kick the FG. As compared to the safer option of use the TO immediately and then you need to complete a pass out of bounds or go for it on 4th down, or get a first down and run up and spike it. The sack screwed him up and he made the wrong call. Luckily he won't be in charge of that here, but with how our past couple of HCs handled time management, he'd fit right in if he was
Williams has a lot of talent and I think he is going to be really good, but he has a lot of maturing to do as well and he doesn't look like a "leave it all on the field" kind of a guy to me either. He always seems more interested in Williams than winning - he slides too early, goes down too easy, etc. Just seems soft to me.
