Well you don't lose the timeout from 2 minute warning. It's either or basically. There's plenty of situations where it's the right call...if you need to avoid a delay of game penalty or a 10 second run off (if you choose to use it in that case). I agree they managed the clock poorly towards the end, but having the timeouts isn't a negative by itself.

Eh, I think he got some of that separation pushing off. Dude's head snaps back a little from it. I will say they were both hand checking a little so contact wasn't initiated by the push off.

So we just need the Iggles to stumble past the Seachickens for the "experts" to get every single pick wrong.

Yes, you do lose the two minute warning as it happened during the change of possession. They lost 35 seconds and an extra time out. Awful call that ultimately cost them the game.

I'm saying they either burn timeouts or they have the 2 minute stoppage...but then NO ability to stop the clock beyond that at the end. Especially in case of needed to avoid a delay of game or a 10 second runoff, or whatever. Any coach is going to pick the timeouts for "in case shit happens" stuff.
Now at the end, when Cook caught the ball inside the 30, they should have either immediately burned the timeout with 32 seconds left and the 1st down or rushed up to spike it a lot faster than 11 seconds later (and not get the penalty).

Losing 35 seconds AND a stoppage is not worth it in any situation. You are literally giving them a full play clock. Logically it's better to have the 35 seconds than it is to have a play stoppage later, especially since that exact situation came up and they didn't use it.

Not using it is on them, logically for a lot of situations it's waaay better to have the ability to use a timeout when you might need it versus just having the 2 minute warning. Especially if they end up being forced to kick for 3 to tie, you'd rather have a timeout left to make sure you do it on the last play of the game...although they screwed that up, because Sean Payton didn't think 7 seconds was enough time to run a quick pass and call the timeout for a few more yards (but I thought the all or nothing screen that burned 4 seconds after the 10 second run off was stupid, too).

Brees and Payton are the biggest choke artists in post season history since Manning and Dungy.
If Brady and Belichick were in New Orleans or Indianapolis they’d have 6 championships in 9 super bowl appearances. I know those numbers sound exaggerated or even made up; but take my word for it, I’m smarter than you.
