What in the hell was Flynn waiting for on the last play of the GB vs PITT game?

They had 10 seconds left on the clock after a false start and 10 sec run off and Flynn doesn't snap the ball until 3 secs left

the penalty was worse, but i agree Flynn took too longs to snap the ball there

Tomlin should literally be fired for not running the clock down and taking the chip shot field goal. He almost cost his team whatever tiny chance they have at making the playoffs.

He didn't know clock was running. He should have clocked the ball.

Terrible. No idea WTF he was waiting on. Also, no idea why he didn't throw it to a WIDE OPEN Jordy Nelson.

I am more baffled he missed wide open Jordy Nelson.

The ref had JUST gotten done saying the penalty involved 5 yards, 10 sec run off, and the clock would start as soon as the ball was down. The crowd even began screaming to snap it.

The ref had to tell him the clock was running.

I didn't realize a penalty was a 10 second runoff AND the clock still starts at ready for play. Seems really harsh

It was awful and no shite, he was WIDE frickIN OPEN!

That last 3 mins of the game is exactly why Flynn got cut by all those teams I guess. Terrible fumble and just awful, awful clock management. Damn!

Why wasn't he being told to spike the ball? Would have had two plays most likely

He fumbled, but he had plenty of help blowing it. The offsides on D and O were just as costly.

I think Flynn went into a mental twist and forgot that the clock was starting with only 10 seconds. You could hear the crowd getting anxious and the ref walking towards him while he's standing there.

He locked up.

Definitely a team effort and it isn't all on Flynn but that was a terrible final 3 mins. And that idiot with the offsides on the FG.... jesus.

Neither team should be proud of that game
