"Westbrook Should Have Killed Some Time Off of the Clock..."
PO-LEASE PEOPLE, YOU'RE CRAZY FOR EVEN BRINGING IT UP.
Ever since the game ended yesterday, I've heard dozens of comments from fans and commentators (i.e. on WIP, Sirius NFL Radio, NFL Network, etc.) about Westbrook not killing a few more seconds off of the clock at the end of his spectacular TD run in the 4th Quarter...do you remember the run, the one in which he took a poorly-planned clock-killing, mid-field pass from McNabb and then made 5 guys miss to score the go-ahead TD which almost allowed us to win a game that we didn't deserve to win in the first place? Yes, that's the one.
There is no expectation that a player who just executed like that should even remotely have the presence of mind to stand on the goal line and kill the clock some more. He already had to be a superhero as it was...should we expect him to be God?
Bottom line is that we found a thousand and one other ways to let that game get away, including our poor coverage on the ensuing kickoff and the weak defense which allowed Tampa to move the ball into any fathomable FG range.
