1. AZ's clock/timeout management remains inexplicable.

And I just don't just mean icing his own kicker (which he also did in a game against SF last year), or kicking a 41 yr FG on 2nd down with 2:42 instead of running once more to eat more clock and/or burn a SEA timeout or the 2min warning (that's even granting kicking prematurely on 3rd down to reserve possession in case of a mishandled snap).

Saving 20 sec to kick a 48 yr field goal is malpractice. If you miss you leave SEA enough time for a 10-20 yard play plus a Hail Mary.
