Eberflus had a decision to make at :32.
1. Call the timeout immediately after the sack and:
a. Get a quick first down and clock it to stop the clock before kicking a FG
b. Miss on the quick first down with an incomplete pass before kicking a FG
c. Come up short of the first down still in the field of play and run the FG team out quick
or...
2. Save the timeout and get a quick/fast play then call the TO.
Either is fine with the amount of time they had (around :14), but Caleb came to the line after the decision to go with option 2 above and sat there for seven seconds and then waited to go deep on a play that took more than seven seconds to develop.
Eberflus was not a good coach and should never have been kept around for this season with a new QB coming in but the charade that happened last night was almost entirely on Caleb.
