    The kicking team ran onto the field with only about 10 to 12 seconds left on the play clock.

    What the hell?

    I found that strange as well. The play clock had to have been running long before the game clock was re-started after the penalty, because only about 15 seconds ran off.

    Poor coaching and clock management. Is that a surprise?

    Because they used their only timeout on 3rd down only to hand the ball off up the middle. One time out left, you use it on 4th down after the play clock winds down. Terrible coaching decision.

    I think this was the worst coaching related call of the game. Simply horrible and against a better team it would have cost us the game.

    I agree and couldn't believe they used the last TO there. You jut line up and snap the ball with a couple seconds left. Then not to have the FG team ready to go was really bad. That was an important kick, you don't want to have to rush it like they did. Clock management is definitely Miles' Achilles Heel.
