obviously the dolphins are going to let the clock run down to 2-3 seconds prior to kicking their fg.. why dont we use a timeout so we atleast get the ball back for a return opportunity or even a play if they boot it out of the back of the endzone.. you never know what could happen in that situation.. and we have had some crazy plays this year.. but especially with a hot leon washington sitting back there i doubt they'd kick it to him and we'd prolly have the ball on the 20 with one play remaining.. better than watching it sail through the up rights with 00 on the clock..

Most kickers say the time out doesn't affect them since they usually get the kick off anyways after it is called. They see it as a practice attempt. More and more coaches seem to not be trying to 'ice' kickers anymore.

Icing the kicker doesn't work. I take more offense that we allowed Bess and Tannehill to drive it down our throats with just a minute.

We were robbed on that procedure penalty 10 seconds should have run off the clock.

Was it fourth down? I can't remember if it was 3rd or 4th. Even so, on the kick off they 100% will squib it which would result in a 4th string TE returning it to the 30 and most likely running out the clock.

doesn't matter if it was 4th down or not they were happy with kicking for a fg at that point.. they werent going to risk snapping it and fumbling away their chance at a fg to win.. but my exact point accounted for what you said.. even returning a squib kick or possibly having one play from our own 20 yard line is better than watching the ball sail through the uprights as time expires..

It was first down. Thomas rushed for 4 yards on 3rd and 3 with 25 seconds left when everyone in the western hemisphere knew it was a run play. The icing on the turd for that embarrassing drive.

you still take the timeout and let the dolphins decide if they want to snap it again and risk a fumble or go for the field goal and kick it off to us.... either way.. thats one extra play.......

hey OP - I thought the same thing ! why not call a Time out which would force the dolphins to either run another play ( could lead to fumble or ten second runoff) or kick a FG which would then give us about 7 seconds at a miracle attempt.

I thought we called the time out right before the kick trying to give their kicker time to think about it, making him nervous. But then again, what does 10-20 seconds matter under those circumstances so why not call it a few seconds earlier?

nah we had one remaining when the dolphins ran the ball up the middle with about 14 seconds to go .

id call a time out and who knows maybe our old friend richie igconito gets a holding call on the next play and we are going into overtime

they didn't kick on 4th down right?

time out, fins come back, spike the ball, let the clock run down, kick

I don't think there was any strategy in calling a time out even if they had one?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they had any timeouts left. So if they decided to spike it, there might not have been enough time to get the field goal unit on the field for the kick.
