With NFL coaches who don't know the rules? That is inexcusable that Joe Gibbs called two timeouts in a row, forfeiting 15 yards, and giving Rian Lindell a 36 yard game winning field goal instead of a 51 yarder.
And, if you are to believe Peter "Talks out of both sides of his mouth" King, Coach Gibbs had no idea of Gregg Williams's planned tribute to Sean Taylor to play the first snap with 10 guys on the field. Wow. How is Gibbs not made aware of this?
I know they lost yesterday to the Colts, but the team that would put some thought of fear into me as a Pats fan, is the Jags. The way they control the ball and hit, they make for a good road team and a team that should be able to handle the cold/bitter January weather in New England.
P.S. - I know of the "you can't call two timeouts in a row" rule because of Madden (the video game). I've tried that maneuver before when times were desperate. Except in the world of Madden, they ignore you trying to call two time outs in a row. In real life, it costs you a playoff spot.

Maybe it should be a 15 yard penalty when you call the 1st timeout to ice the kicker because its stupid to begin with.
Anyways, if you pay Joe Gibbs a lot of money to be your head coach you'd like him to know the rules of the league. Its like he just showed up out of retirement with intentions of getting experience "on the job"
So many coaches don't know the rules. Herm Edwards is a disaster when it comes to clock management, for example. At least he was in New York.
