The lack of a timeout, had no bearing on the result of the game in any way. They were ready, and ran the play as planned, it didn't work, we turned the ball over on downs, end of. If we had converted the 4th down, we use the timeout and stop the clock immediately.
Coaches use timeouts far too early in my opinion generally in a 2 minute situation. With 3 timeouts left in the last 20 seconds, you should easily be able to run at least 3 plays.
We lost this game in the 1st half, not in the final minute.
