If he waits until the WR is set, that catch is short of the end zone and the clock likely runs out. Etling would catch a ton of shite, and rightfully so because you simply cannot throw it short. Instead, he gets a penalty, giving him another chance, and now we praise his grit and play making ability


Theoretically there would have been enough time to run another play if the clock was stopped correctly.

If he waits until the WR is set, as he should, that play is way too close for comfort regardless of how quick the clock is stopped. Without a timeout, you simply cannot throw it short of the end zone. The clock still starts on the ready whistle, and we saw how that turned out.

It was just a terrible sequence all around. The 3rd down play should have resulted in Dupre going out of bounds. Once he was in bounds there was no urgency. There has to be two play calls in case you're tackled in bounds because it's 4th down and you can't spike it, but no one seemed to respond that way. Just a perfect microcosm of all of the issues with Miles lately.
