They could still have gotten a first down without scoring, and then where would you be if you let the clock get too low?
There's a lot to question about Shanahan, but I don't think clock management in that last series is one of them
eh, they had 3 time outs, so they could have safely let the clock run lower and I would guess that doing so there would have raised their win probability. But it's also probably a really tiny difference and way down on the list of things that cost them the game, so agree with your overall point.
