Any team in the league can run any sequence of plays with 21 seconds and two timeouts inside the 10.

Dude, big-time! I was like WTF, with 21 seconds and two timeouts you can run up the middle, pass short of the end zone, you can do whatever you want. Throw into the end zone if it's there, or throw it short if it isn't. Running down the clock to 21 seconds was actually smart there, it helped ensure the Giants didn't get a chance to get the ball back and get a quick FG before the half.

Completely agree. I think some people (on this and other sites) started falling for whatever Michaels was spewing and decided it must be time to start bashing Gibbs again for poor clock management.
