Macdonald's poor clock management

[hawker84]

Is frustrating as hell. You have three timesouts Macdonald, what are you saving them for? I didnt think anybody could be worse than Carroll. I stand corrected.

It was puzzling.
On a positive note...at least Carolina had no time left for a drive after the TOD.

Yea he sucks at it. Proof: Gave the game ball to the co-ordinator that actually forced him to call it right recently.

Not sure what issue you had with that particular drive? Other than walker not really catching and getting ruled a fumble recovery? The idea is to not give them the ball back with any time at all? If he had called the time outs you wanted, Carolina in that instance would have gotten the ball back with much more time and manageable to get into field goal range

Agreed. Fire Macdonald. This guy doesn’t know football

First he wasn’t forced, it’s literally the guys job.

Second, clock management was fine there. We wanted to score and not leave time for the Panthers. Want to blame anyone blame refs for killing that opportunity.

If Ken Walker catches the ball and gets out of bounds your fine.

You don't call the TO becuase you don't want them to look at the catch/fumble.

He's always gonna error on the side of the Panthers not getting the ball back with time to score.

The management made perfect sense for a coach who (rightfully) has no faith in his Offense to even get a first down.

It's ok to point out when a HC makes the same mistake week after week after week...

It doesn't mean I don't have a high opinion overall.
