And with even decent clock management and play calling at the end of that drive it would have been 1:30 left and one or zero timeouts.
Scott Reiss absolutely nailed it in the post game - 2nd & 4 with 3 mins left inside a 50 yard FG attempt - RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL!!!!!!
Add to that 2 delays of game in the first half and burning two TOs to avoid more in the second half. Shaw is not a rookie head coach this is his NINTH SEASON. Clock management like that is inexcusable. He should have one of his assistants whose sole job is to be in his ear about clock management, because he absolutely sucks at it.

So frustrating, no awareness at all. Nobody around him at all. If he turns upfield, easily another 5 yards. If he just falls down, at least he has the first down, the clock stops to move the chains saving precious seconds, and the downs are reset. The one thing he couldn't do was the one thing he did.
Don't forget that two weeks ago Weddington runs a two yard out on a critical 3rd & 3.
Both of them have the same crappy position coach who hasn't been able to get arguably one of the fastest players on the team (St Brown) coached up to get any separation all year.
Time for Kennedy to find employment elsewhere, starting next Sunday after this miserable season ends. And take Hansen and Fanboy Hero with you.
