    It really appears pathetic as to how NFL teams, with all their preparation, do not maximize their usage of timeouts. It appears inevitable that teams will let over 30-40 secs tick off while they still have 3 TOs available. Why not use the TO, save the time, then later avoid plays that will take 30-40 secs to reset? Remember you can reset and spike to stop if necessary? Instead, teams will let a clock wind down from say 1 min. to 30 while keeping a TO. I understand that a TO means an immediate stoppage but you can never get that time back.

    As for the Cowboys, that was dreadful. If you are going to call the TO, do it IMMEDIATELY. Since it was the 'Boys, it was all the GM's fault.

    The only thing to say in the Cowboys' defense regarding the timeout is that with that sorry bunch of stupid fucks, if they had used the timeout with 15 seconds left they might very well have forgotten to get out of bounds on the next play.

    So Dwayne Bowe wants out of KC and Miami is apparently pushing for the wideout.

    The way the Chiefs have been this season, there aren't many people who DON'T want out of Kansas City.

    With 5:17 left in the first quarter, San Fran has managed to blow through two timeouts. Can they make it three before the end of the quarter? Stay tuned to find out!

    That's OK, Harbaugh can just talk himself into a few more.

    Sigh. The 12:17 mark of the second quarter. So close, yet so far away. (SF takes its third timeout. Watching only on gamecast. WTF 49ers?)

    I feel like I'm watching LSU play LSU.
