Clock Management

As great as Manning is, it was very frustrating watching his clock management on our next to the last drive. At a point when the clock was the most important part of the game, Peyton consistently left ten or more seconds on the clock when the plays were snapped. He also called a timeout with the clock running and 25 seconds left.
The end of the game drama - the onside kick and The Chargers last, desperation possession would not have happened if we had properly run the clock. This could hurt down the road!

Yes, I get the feeling that the communication has a few "bumps in the road ".

The game yesterday was odd because our D completely shut them down and dominated - there were times I was actually fighting off feeling sorry for Norv - so by the 4th quarter, it felt like we were ahead 70-7 ... the fact that they were in plausible striking distance near the end felt imposible, but in actuality, they WERE ...

I agree that the offense could have sealed it and played it a bit more intelligent near the end - that in itself is very UnFox-like ... Looking down the road, it's important we have a go-to RB who will absolutely hold onto the ball and pick up positive yards ...

you guys are right to a point .. my problem is not clock mangement in the end with this game go for the throat ! instaed Fox cut the motor down to mange the game in the last part of the 3rd this game should of been a total blow out . I think this is why alot of us kind of have a bad taste in our mouths ...kind of felt like the BS Shanny use to pull.
