Yeah, it came up but I don't think they had a pic
Not sure why anybody would do that when there's so many slowmo cameras around that'll show how stupid you look.
did it work, though?

I actually think SSSnail has a fair point. If you can only save a couple seconds, then save your timeout just in case something favorable happens under 2 minutes. We've seen times when teams get cute and throw an incomplete pass that stops the clock. If you force a miracle turnover on the next play, the game clock also stops for free.
IIRC, it was Denver's second down when they ran that play and got first down anyways
If you call a time out at 2:02 you've gifted the other team a chance to *pass* instead of running, because an incomplete pass will have no bearing on the clock. It's stopping after the play regardless. Saving 2 seconds isn't worth giving the other team a better chance of getting a first down.
IIRC, it was Denver's second down when they ran that play and got first down anyways, so anything after that is pointless. If they didn't, then it'd be third down after the 2-minute warning, still plenty of opportunity for me to use that timeout. Like I said, if you're not planning on using that timeout, then you're playing to lose at that point because nothing will stop a clock after that, except for injuries and penalties hmm:...)
Answering the bolded - that's not the clock stoppage I was referring to, I was referring to the clock stoppage that I would eventually need AFTER I somehow got the turnover and ran some plays - for when my receivers are stopped inbound - for instance. Anyways. I'm done with this topic.
Timeout #3 by SD at 02:02.
1-10-SD 46 (2:02) (Shotgun) 18-P.Manning pass short left to 88-D.Thomas to SD 43 for 3 yards (31-R.Marshall).
Two-Minute Warning
2-7-SD 43 (1:57) (Shotgun) 27-K.Moreno right guard to SD 37 for 6 yards (91-K.Reyes).
Timeout #2 by DEN at 01:12.
3-1-SD 37 (1:12) 27-K.Moreno up the middle to SD 32 for 5 yards (29-S.Wright).
1-10-SD 32 (:36) 18-P.Manning kneels to SD 33 for -1 yards.
END GAME

I have no idea what you're talking about.It is still a loss of downs. that is why you do it.
If they get the first down on that 2 second play, it doesn't matter, and it wouldn't have mattered anyway, after the 2 minute warning.
the goal is to force them into a 2nd or 3rd down play after the 2 minutes warning.
It's really not a gift of any type of pass over a run play, in that situation. You are playing for downs, and that is why you make that call with 2 seconds to go
guys--yes, it's the end of the game with limited time outs, but the point of the call is that you are forcing downs. It is that situation that trumps time--well it doesn't trump time, but it is that moment where the losing team, on defense, gets the best opportunity from a down and clock perspective.

A few times that I've seen it this season, it's probably because they didn't care about the darn timeout anyways, and love performing laterals because that shit is FUN!
It's up to Brady to stop the second coming of Jesu... I mean Manning now! Please Tom, for everyone who has had to put up with all the Manningites this season!
If you've been watching the Patriots the last 4 weeks it won't be so much Tom as much as the power run game ans as Patriot lineman Logan Mankins said,"if it's working, why stop doing it". Something I noticed from last nights game, PM threw into the wind with great accuracy, something he was struggling with in the earlier game in Foxborough..
To Cam's credit, he was (very lightly) kicked in the head so he was trying to draw a possible personal foul. Much like Lebron does the same shit, which is pretty funny when it doesn't work.

Cam needs to practice in front of a mirror.

Wtf!
What is up with the strange times for Sunday? 3:00 and 6:30ET?
Broncos/Patriots should be good but I don't know about the other game. That game will either have the 49ers getting blown out or be an SEC defense fest with a final score of 3-9.
The NFL and TV networks are probably creaming themselves right about now...
Peyton vs Brady for AFC championship?
49'ers Seahawks and all the recent drama and history there between those two?
Good stuff!
I'm sure Goodell and his cronies popped the champagne open as soon as JT caught that pass in the 4th quarter
Maybe Goodell is conspiring with cable companies! Alex Smith wouldn't change the times on people.
