3 things stood out:
1. The clock mgmt at the end of the first half was terrible. There’s no other word to describe it.
2. We burned a timeout early in the 2H on 3rd and 1 in the redzone because our coaches weren’t prepared.
3. Our 2 minute drill is atrocious, per usual.
I’m not even mentioning a bunch of other things because the Saints are a good team. But all 3 of these things— especially 1 and 2– are something that should 1000% NOT be happening with Zimmer having coached for going on a decade. I’m sure he has a million things going on in his head and in his ears during the game but the clock management is so bad it’s infuriating.
Mike Zimmer is a good coach who I’m pretty sure will never be a great one. Kirk Cousins is in that same boat.
It might be time to strive for better.
