Even with 7 seconds left, after all of the mismanagement, I would have thrown a quick out to Thomas, Kamara, or Ginn knowing if they're tackled in bounds you have the timeout and it's a closer kick. Very strange.
And then they sacrificed a timeout as the game goes into OT. What the **** is Payton doing, he needs to tighten up. Very dumb coaching, the type I expect from Adam Gase.
They could have called timeout with 2:40 on the clock and had no timeouts, but the 2 minute warning. Instead, there's 1:55 left and they have one timeout.
Not sure why the Saints didn't call timeout there before the 2 minute warning. Seems pretty stupid. That would have preserved the 2 minute warning. Instead, after the punt and return there's 1:55 and so they lost a timeout.
