re: McCarthy is such a dumbass

You always save your timeouts when the other team has the ball. The thinking here is that you'll never waste 40 seconds on offense or special teams like the opposing offense would run off the clock. Theoretically, but then there's the buffoon Mike McCarthy.

All of this goes out the window, though, when there’s a 2 minute warning that would’ve become your third timeout. It would’ve kept them from being able to throw the ball on their first play with the 2 minute right behind it, and it would’ve meant that Dallas would’ve gotten the ball with 2:00 left (and likely better field position because wouldn’t have gotten the 1st down) instead of getting it back as late and deep as they did.
