Time Out before the Field Goal

[MD Longhorn]

Houston media is hailing the genius of Gary Kubiak, who called Time Out just before a 52 yard FG was made in overtime by Washington. They then proceeded to miss the kick after the time out.

Let's forget that Kubiak didn't exactly invent this maneuver. I find it asinine, and it literally hurts my brain that this worked out. (Nevermind I was rooting against Washington in this game, and glad Houston won). It's simply a complete time-waste in my book. None of the talking heads have brought up the fact that it just as easily (EXACTLY as easily) could have gone the other way around - called TO on a MISS, and then they make it after the TO.

I don't want to change rules to get rid of this nonsense... but I do wish that SOME coach would be bitten in the butt very publicly by doing this ... maybe then everyone would stop.
