Couldn't cleveland have not used their timeout til the second play and used it after the 2 min to give themselves an extra 25 seconds or so after the punt?

 

No. This is a common misconception.

 

Scenario 1: using the timeout before 2 minute warning

 

After play 1-timeout Cleveland

after play 2-2 minute warning

 

Scenario 2: using the timeout after 2 minute warning

Play 1-2 minute warning

Play 2-timeout cleveland, 1:54 approximately left

 

You save time by using timeouts before the 2 minute warning instead of after. The only situation you don't want to use a timeout before the 2 minute warning is if a play ends with 2:05 or under left. If it does that, then calling the timeout before the warning just gives the other team a free passing play (since the clock would stop automatically after the next down). In all other situations, you want to use it before.

You got the scenario wrong. After the first play, they had to run a second one before the 2 minute warning regardless of whether or not a timeout was called.

There was 2:55 left.

Ah. Sorry for the mixup. They only had 1 timeout with 2:55 left? I don't think it matters which play of 1st and 2nd you call it on, it sets up the exact same situation each time.

FYI, the Bears suck. Griese hurt, Grossman back in for the Bears. At this point, Id rather see what Orton could do. I never would of imagined U of I would be the best football team in Illinois.

If they don't use the timeout early, it goes play play 2 mins play timeout punt, so they get the ball with about 1:45 left. The way they did it, it went play, timeout, play, 2 min, play, punt, ball with 1:23 left.

 

Also, Grossman coming in the game and fumbling his first snap was just wonderful.

Of course I have to be playing against the Denver defense who allowed 9 points, and has 1 TD, 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, and a fumble recovery.

 

OF COURSE THAT'S WHO I'M PLAYING TODAY.

 

Freakin' fantasy football pisses me off sometimes.

 

Me too. Tom Brady has a bye week this week (obviously), so I had to go find a QB. Well, most of the week I had Jason Campbell (19 points today) but cut him to sign JP Losman who had a better matchup this week and had been doing better. So what happens? Of course Campbell puts up 19 points and Losman puts up 5. And then, of course, Donovan McNabb goes crazy for my opponent and posts 27 points.

 

Fantasy football sucks. :evil:

At least you didn't bench Derek Anderson for Losman :-&

 

#-o Ouch. That sucks.

I can just imagine the fans at the bears raiders game. "God, our Qb sucks", Raiders fan"No, our qb sucks". Just back and forth till they throw punches. This game is atrocious.

What was the team that forced 18 interceptions against the nFC north last season (not an NFC north team)

You're thinking of the 2005 Cincinnati Bengals.

 

5 INTs from Kyle Orton

5 INTs from Brett Favre

5 INTs from Daunte Culpepper

3 Ints from Jeff Garcia

Colts look bad in the early goings tonight.

 

Thanks to the Campbell for Losman bungle and Dallas Clark being hurt, I now need Bryan Fletcher to have a big night.

 

I think I'm screwed.

Peyton Manning has now thrown 5 INTs, the most in a single game in his career.

 

5 interceptions? And they're only down 8 points? That's crazy.
