So...they really thought there would be only 4 seconds left therefore just allowing time enough to kick a FG. When Reid called time out they realized that there was time to try one more pass into the endzone....thank god.

I just listened to the Gibbs presser 9/18 today and he said it was NOT because of that. He said the coaches knew the rules and the call, it was all his mistake and he claimed responsibility. It's great he is claiming responsibility but at the same time this kinda of stuff cant happen again.
