Another underappreciated tactic from this game

[The Bopkin]

After Chase Edmunds run, McDaniel allowed about 13 seconds to run off the clock before calling a time out. Trent Green didn't like it, but it was obvious: leave Baltimore no time.
As quickly as Baltimore moved the ball today, I am GLAD McDaniel did that; it really was a major move in securing the win, considering where Baltimore was when Lamar had to make his hail mary throw. I wouldn't have wanted him to have another 13 seconds.

 

[JoeFin]

Yeah, I noticed that and thought it made complete sense at the time. 1st and goal. You've got three shots at the endzone. You only need about 4 seconds or so per play.

 

[El Calebra]

I agree.

24 seconds is plenty of time for 3 shots at the end zone plus a field goal kick. It was a good call by McDaniel.

100%. Sign of a good coach. He is thinking ahead.

GREAT job by coach McD making adjustments and not letting his team quit. This is the type of win that can carry a team through the season.

Like it or not, this team is dangerous.

 

[The Bopkin]

Yeah, I don't think that move will get much chatter, but it was brilliant.

 

[PhinFan1968]

McD's gonna need a bigger wheelbarrow...

 

[BONG SHULA]

Yeah I was pretty perplexed by Trent Green’s comments. McD handled that situation perfectly. He hasn’t seemed like a rookie coach so far in terms of game management, which has been a huge relief. Also showed today he can make halftime adjustments.

 

[superphin]

McDaniel might just be the guy. We haven't had the guy since SHula and haven't had the guy at QB since Marino. Is it finally our turn to experience sustained success? Man I hope so.

I wondered who the color commentator was. Thinking what a Bloody tool he was.

Its nice to have a HC w/ clock mgmt skills.

100% correct. I saw it exactly the same as you. Coach McDaniel knew precisely what he was doing.

 

[brumdog44]

A big (shocking) missed ref called than panned out for us: on the play before the Edmonds run, Tyreek Hill had the first down easily. Ref marked him a yard short. If he gives him the first, we aren't running there. Think the thought was to get the first down with the run and then call a time out. The fact that he got inside the ten let us bleed the clock even more.

 

[ForksPhin]

I was screaming about calling a timeout…until I thought about.

McDaniel is the real deal.

Another call was the Edmonds run. I was screaming “no, no….yes!!”

 

[circumstances]

McDaniel is the anti-enter any coaches name that is bad at time management.
