How does a coach not take timeout on 4th and 4 and let his team take a delay of game?

Gus Bradley has a real case for worst head coach in NFL history. Not even hyperbole at this point.

I didn't watch much of the Bengals game but I did see them running the ball well. And then they get inside the 30 and all they do is try to pass. And the announcers saying the guy getting OOB on the one completion was a good move.
They barely ran in the 2nd half in a 1 or 2 possession game. Classic Marvin Lewis.

Cutler, Palmer, Kaepernick, Fitzgerald, Dalton, McCown, Osweiller, Bortles ... is that the list of starters NFL teams should consider replacing next season?

Two dropped TD passes in the final four plays for Chicago.

Dalton has had how many passes batted down today? At least 5?
At least 5 in that last drive alone. The Ravens D-Line basically teabagged Dalton for ten minutes on national TV. It was downright embarrassing.

Now, the last play in this game, this is real entertaining. Much like the intentional 12-Men penalty at the end of SB 46, the Ravens appeared to have called the play "hold everyone". They hike the ball to the punter, and the punter retreats into the end zone while the BAL line just grabs on and holds everyone they're blocking. Flags fly everywhere, but Harbaugh doesn't care. As a Bengal finally approaches the punter, he steps out the back of the end zone. The result of the play is a safety, and there's no extension of the game because it was technically offensive fouls. Game over.

A pretty hilarious playcall to end the game, even if it's totally unsportsmanlike and you could argue it as a "patently unfair act".

And rich as hell coming from a guy whose tears over the Pats' ineligible receiver gimmick still haven't dried.

Harbaugh better never ever complain about someone exploiting the rules again after that call

The Giants need to move to Vegas instead of the Raiders just so WFXT doesn't show a f'in Browns Giants game

How hard would it be to have a rule that if you commit a penalty during the final 2 minutes of a half, the opposing team can have an option to have the time put back on the clock?

306, row 14
The Pats were in a similar situation in that Ravens Divisional game. Imagine if Bill pulled the hold everyone stunt in that game? Harbaugh still hasn't stopped crying about the ineligible thing, imagine having that as well?

Tampa Bay took it right down the field against Seattle's banged up defense

Damn. If Kaepernick had taken off sooner he would have scored.

I'll ask this again, to see if anyone knows where eight teams can get new QBs next season
