Timeout

[ColtsLegacy]

Anyone want to try to explain the timeout with 11 seconds left in the 4th quarter.

 

What the hell was that about? 

 

Yet another example of horrible timeout management. It's as if Pagano saw we still had all of our timeouts and panicked. Absolutely no excuse or explanation for the use of a timeout there and then we immediately follow it with 12 men on defense afterwards.

[legend300]

I thought same thing

[a06cc]

That and the challenge I feel was his only mistakes during this game. The losers game ball goes the offensive line. Way too go Anthony Castonzo!!

[a06cc]

Chuck for years has been known to misuse his timeouts and challenges. Nothing new too me. 

[RockThatBlue]

It was reminiscent of that timeout against the Lions last year. It gave them extra time for another play.

Definitely not new but some signs of improvement would be nice. I just don't understand why it's so difficult. And it's not just Pagano, many coaches have issues with timeout management around the league.

Its because he sucks lol

Challenge didn't bother me. We had some momentum, the spot was questionable, & if he wins we get a 1st down. The TO was a head scratcher though.

[Indy500]

Just a bonehead call, and then the penalty made the FG easier

[MackAttack]

And after that timeout we have 12 men on the field!!! That was pretty funny 

[GoColts8818]

I still want Pagano fired.  Once again mental mistakes with timeouts and being undisciplined with stupid pentalties cost the Colts big time.  Those go on the head coach.

Our future coach.. Arians, can win games with an over the hill QB. He's gonna luv coaching with Luck again!!

[Freenyfan102]

Pagano saw a butterfly

[Roger]

12 men on the field is a coaching error.  Colts had too many big penalties today.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lets fire him and bring Joe ding dong off the street to Coach. Arians didn't even out Coach him, he got a roughing call that helped his team get momentum and they scored a TD off of it. Cards will be lucky if they go 8-8 IMO

[Mister P]

I already +ed about that in the "Fire Castonzo" thread.  Pagano is a buffoon.

Unless he saw something like we were lined up wrong ? Had to be some kind of defensive adjustment he made... otherwise you would have to be a blathering * to call a TO in that situation.

[King Colt]

Especially after playing the 49ers in back-to-back games he should have had a better game plan. He looks as lost as he is. He needs to stop praising the players after they make bonehead plays. All week he would not reveal who the QB would be. Is there any question??!! "Either one would be ready to play", he said. Like Tolzein was "ready" last week? What is going through the GM's mind right now?

[Knuckles79]

The challenge didn't bother me as much. The timeout was just another poor decision from Pagano.  Maybe this guy should play Madden or something and practice time management!!!

[gacoop1]

The following needs to be fired:

Chuck 

Ted

Chuck

Schott

and may be Joe:

Others that needs to be waived, cut:

Castonzo

Moncrief

for now.

[TheRustonRifle#7]

I am more angry that they didn't call a timeout after Doyle caught a pass for the first down prior....

[tvturner]

Why are you worrying about a timeout? Literally the least of our problems.

It seems like most people on here just need to make a weekly thread on Pagano.

Chuck has been talked about hundreds of times

Pagnao coached well this week...Team was destroyed in LA and they mostly outplayed Arizona today

How many teams have their backup qb playing and have a better record? The defense  looked good except for one drive,   the starting qb looked ok considering he has been here 2 weeks.   If we have a healthy Andrew,   we win today.

We shouldn't have ever let him leave here and I think they should have given the job to him to begin with.

I'm worried about stupid decision making by the head coach. It is a big problem.

 

[cpd190]

Why is nobody talking about the pass we threw instead of letting time tick off the clock (with a run) with less than a minute to go.  Arizona would have HAD to have burned its last time out to stop the clock and then we punt.  Did Chuck really think we were going 70 yards to get into field goal range to win the game WITH A MIN or so left? 

 

Then we punt..... and that's when the other time out fiasco started by good ol' Chuck.  ITS NOT THAT HARD!!!! If you cant manage that simple thing....I have to question his management of a lot of stuff, about the team, that we don't know about. 

[Superman]

That timeout had literally no impact on the outcome of the game. The Colts called it because the Cardinals were getting ready to kick the FG, and Pagano wanted to get the ball back if they weren't going to run another play. The Cardinals smartly ran another play to run a few more seconds off, but there was the possibility of a botched snap or missed block or whatever. As it turns out, the Colts committed a(nother) awful penalty after that timeout, giving the Cardinals another five yards. 

 

And at the end of it all, the Cardinals missed the FG.

The immediate replay, before the challenge, clearly showed TY touched and down short, before his second lunge.  This replay came before the challenge.   It was a dumb challenge, yet another coaching gaffe.

I was talking about, LOTS!  It was a boneheaded decision that showed complete lack of awareness of game situation.  You simply HAVE to force the Cardinals to burn their last time out there, if you fail to pick up the first down.  I agree, it should have been simple.

I don't care about what other teams do. I care about the Colts. 4 straight years of 0-2 starts and this is the only year Andrew has missed those first 2 games. The injury excuse is nice but goes both ways, could just as easily say if the Cards had David Johnson they win by more then 3.

I don't think it was clear, and I think the original spot was off and they should have respotted and measured. Hilton still was probably short, but I don't mind the challenge given the situation.

The Cardinals were going to let the clock run, then use their last timeout to stop the clock and try the FG. Not calling a timeout wouldn't have forced the Cardinals to do anything.

They were up 10-0 in the 2nd quarter, losing that challenge had no bearing on the outcome of the game whatsoever. There were tons of questionable decisions in the 2nd half, but that challenge didn't bother me at all.

[GoColts8818]

Like I said before in this thread I still want Pagano fired but in the book of Chuck Pagano coaching gaffs or clock mismanagement these don't make the final cut.

[cpd190]

I don't think it gets much worse.  Either punt from your own end zone with 30 seconds left and let them keep their one and only time out.  Or punt from your own end zone with 30 seconds left and let them save their one and only time out.  Choose one......im just baffled! 

 

However, as a team, the Colts looked pretty good finally.  I am just ready to fire the coach so we can move forward.  I'm afraid Chuck will win just enough games this year to keep his job!!!!!

[cpd190]

Well, I meant to say..........Either punt from your own end zone with 30 seconds left and make them use their last time out.  Or punt from your own end zone with 30 seconds left and let them save their one and only time out.....ugh
