It’s the same thing if they call it at 203 than if they go to 2 minute warning abc call it after.There was plenty to say about the coaching tonight but this is the one that will stay with me. Someone give me any semblance of an explanation for this decision.
If they had called it inside 2 minutes Brady isn't throwing a Hail Mary.

But if they hadn't called the TO the clock stops 3 seconds later. Then Philly runs a play and they can use the timeout at that point to prevent 40 seconds running off.
Instead they only got a stop at 1:55, then couldn't stop the clock again.
Calling the timeout saved 3 seconds.
you are adding a play.By my not-quite atomic-clock calculations, the Pats would've had about an extra ten seconds had Bill saved his time-out until after the 2-minute warning.
1st down @ 2:09
2nd down @ 2:00
3rd down @ 1:55 (approx)
4th down FG @ 1:15 (approx)
FG was made @ 1:05.
So to those claiming that Bill did the right thing: you're wrong, though not by as much as I first thought.
Yeah it's pretty much clock management 101.
The real killer was the first timeout they called on third down the previous Eagles drive where Philly ended up converting anyway.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many people like you don’t have the first clue about clock management.By my not-quite atomic-clock calculations, the Pats would've had about an extra ten seconds had Bill saved his time-out until after the 2-minute warning.

With how they were steamrolling us, I was looking forward to the Eagles having big plays that got stopped in the red zone. Why? Just so we could preserve some time of possession.I really hated burnig the first to on 3rdand 6 to ‘gameplan’ the d. They weren’t stopping them anyways
