I have examples off the top of my head that were similar to the spiking of the ball fiasco against GB.

The very next week, the Falcons were in similar situation at the end of the first half against GB. They ran a play with 50 seconds left and gained 16 yards for a first down at the GB 33 and allowed the clock to continue to run. They ran the next play and gained 19 yards before stopping the clock with a time out with 24 seconds remaining (their 2nd). They didn't feel the need to burn a timeout to save 26 seconds between those 2 plays. They ended up scoring a TD They had 1 more timeout than we did, but we could have used passes to the sidelines and/or end zone if need be.

In the SB, NE had a similar situation against Atlanta just 2 weeks later. On 1st down from the Falcons 29 yard line and 59 seconds remaining, they get an 8 yard completion. They let the clock run down before taking the next snap with 33 seconds remaining. They also had 2 timeouts, but did not feel the need to panic and either call timeout or spike the ball. They were calm and collected allowed time to tick away. They eventually settled for a FG due to a holding penalty.

Difference between our coaching managing the clock and the 2 SB head coaches managing the clock in similar situations. They let the clock run and we wasted a precious down.

I can only assume you are talking about 2017 and not 2016. Not surprised you have no idea. I supported that spike with 48 seconds left against the Packers. Theta were trying to score a TD and save the timeout but thanks to Dez, the 3rd down play didn’t work. You’re pointing that one out tells me all I need to know about you and knowing *** you’re talking about. Lay of the Hennessy.

U supporting it after every article and expert ripped the decision shows how much know and how bad of a call it was in that situation, shows you know less than me. So if i know **** that's scary for you. It was the 2016 playoff game that took place in 2017. We all know this don't be ridiculous.
 
There is a contingent of fans here eager to lynch a coach with a .558 career record.

That’s a lie that every expert ripped it.

We’ve been talking about this building for a looooong time now. A long time.

Either the builder can’t build or the coaches can’t coach but as long as the salary cap is in play we will have windows to capitalize.

Every team plays rookies and every team is going through similar things that we are.

It took Doug Pederson all of 2 years to win.

Don’t be a sucker and buy into this idea that it takes forever to build a team. Garrett has had almost a decade. Produce or go.

HOWIE did all of that, what is funny is that philly did throw all of their muscle out..Alot of players left this season, and the Eagles got five bodies in the draft...Estimates claim philly will be 30mill over the cap this next season..

Please, dont use Philly as an example..as of right now, Philly i believe will flame at some point in the season..Great they all got rings....Lets see how much that is worth this season!

You didn’t. You said it was 2016 playoff game. You want me to quote your post?

Horse dookie, look back at teams who had a key player die, or career ending something happen. What did they do, they rallied around it and made it a battle cry and WON games everyone picked them to lose. Garrett is a schmuck bottom line, Zeke getting that piss poor suspension, orchestrated by the swami himself Goodell, should have been what pushed this team to go lights out on the field. But what did we get, more pissing and whining from Garrett at the press conference's about how they need to be more focused, and make plays and blah blah blah. I know, it's not a bash Garret post, but lord I just have had a gut full of the little yes boy blaming everything but his own sorry lack of leadership.

JG's strength is not Xs and Os, but one thing he is: a motivator. He gets his guys focused and they play hard for him. Despite the Zeke circus, a new QB going through a sophomore slump and Tyron and Sean Lee missing chunks of time, they were in the wild card hunt until the last couple of weeks last season.

Actually they were there but blew it early in the season with losses to Teams like The Rams..Lol
 
EVERY time i hear a fan say something about Xs and OS, I Cringe..A x Nfl qb, with a,father who was Nfl Royalty..Bahagahahaw.

Garrett had to learn some things early, but he was and is a great offensive mind, and is excellent evaluating talent..

The risks that have been taken when none was needed, and fooling around looking for Roi or Just being lazy in showing no immediate hurry to expedite the talent or depth on this team the real killers..
 
Three first-round picks, a second rounder, and Joe Looney.

If that isn't enough, nothing will be.

Without Frederick, this is still a top-tier line.

No excuses.

@Diehardblues Anything of substance this time around?

Aviano provided some documented examples. Nicely done .

And you’ve apparently misinterpret my questioning of the Madden comparison as stating Garrett did manage the clock well which I haven’t yet supported him on.

I was simply inquiring more about your comparison . And after all those replies all I got from you was he iced the kicker which anyone who watched a highlites would know. And I’m an old timer that knows nothing because I haven’t played Madden. Lol
 
Going from page 1 to page 9, I completely forgot what the topic was about.

Overcoming an injury to something about clock management
