What the fug is this amateur time management

[BIGH2001]

Seriously, is Rhule stupid? I thought Rivera had bad game management. This clown takes the cake.

[PhillyB]

yeah that was bad, but i mean at some point you've got to have the personnel to throw the ball and clinch a game even if it's a risky call to take it off the ground.

we are finding out we absolutely do not possess the personnel to make that happen.

[Clif]

Terrible time management. All they had to do was run the ball. Gave them four free timeouts in the last four minutes!

[SmokinwithWilly]

Believe it or not the Chargers were worse today. First time I've ever heard an announcer repeatedly ask what the hell are they doing.

[Mr. Scot]

I mean, for the first few games of the year we were all cheering about how much better Matt Rhule was doing at managing the clock than Ron Rivera.

You wouldn't think somebody would get worse with more experience, but somehow...

It's not bad time management if Teddy makes a decent throw to a wide open DJ Moore. Just sayin'. The error they made was trusting a QB that they shouldn't.

Exactly.  We have a head coach and OC that want to be aggressive and take shots.  And we have a QB who's signature play is the check down.

They're not perfect, but I like what I see overall from the coaching staff.

I don't give them a pass on that. They got the QB they wanted.

That's fair.

I'm still excited about the potential of Rhule and this staff.  They're essentially rookies at the NFL level.  It will be interesting to see how they learn from their mistakes.

Yeah, I think they may have overestimated what they could accomplish with such a physically limited QB.

I agree. Yet I still see Phil Snow put us in a 3 down linemen defense. Folks do not realize that once you commit to that defense with the clock running down you can not substitute because of the hurry up. The Vikings nutted in their pants when we went that route, and they kept us in that defense until they were at the 10 yard line. Embarrassing, unbelievably embarrassing. Yet it happens every week. I do not think Phil Snow is NFL material.

I’m not. They can go fug themselves. 

[BIGH2001]

This is the kind of poo that could cost us big in a game that really matters. Yeah this is a throwaway season so you can say it doesn’t matter. What if he keeps pulling this poo with the playoffs on the line? Or in a playoff game? Total joke. The Vikings should have gotten the ball back down 6 with less than a minute to go and no timeouts. Actually if we had run the ball three times before the fumble the fumble itself might have ended the game.  What the hell is this idiot doing?

Said this on some other threads here but my opinion .... I thought the throw was catchable but DJ got hurt before he launched and didn't get the extension. Watch his right foot/leg on that play.

But agree with you globally, Teddy isn't going to win clutch games and has his limits for sure.
