Sunday's play calling at the end of the game...

I am surprised not to have seen this discussed when I just searched the first 2 pages of Saints Talk.
I think Drew made a big blunder in calling a timeout when we had a 3rd down at the TB 7 yard line with over 4 minutes to go and 3 timeouts in hand. The football 101 call is to run a pass play in the endzone that nets you a TD or incompletion. Obviously with a TD we go ahead and with an incompletion we kick the FG and cut it to 3 with 3 timeouts and over 4 minutes on the clock.
I thought it showed a lack of respect for our defense and/or kicker and may have cost us the game. Thoughts?

we needed a touchdown on that drive. better to get the right personnel on the field than to rush a play. didn't make a difference either way

The reason you haven't seen it discussed is because it's a stupid as frick.
What are you even talking about? Drew called a timeout because he didn't like what he saw on the field and wanted some time to talk it over.

no it was a terrible play call on 4th down. tampa and everybody in that damn stadium knew we would PA roll out to the right. shoulda spread the field and ran hitches against zone and used sproles in case they were in man on him in a drag route.
