If Clock Management is This Easy

Not only has Ron never iced a kicker but he actually called a time out to allow a kicker to beat us....remember the Bucs game back yonder? This stupid POS called a time out as the clock was going to expire and it allowed the Bucs to kick a game winner vs us rofl....

Oh, I could have swore that was a Saints game.  God, it was probably both

Edit:  Just occurred to me, the Saints one happened before halftime... he called TO and they were able to kick the fg that they never would have had time for

You can't be this much of a fuging idiot. You probably meant the game Saints game in 2011 and that was before halftime.

How come Ron Rivera's clock management in a fugging TV commercial is far better than reality?

 

A few points to consider

Note the "below eye level" camera with the "troops" or fans behind him.  That is to make him  appear larger than life and a leader.

What we do not see is the aftermath of the ball clunking on the upright.  Apparently, we had 12 men on the field and Ron called a timeout.  They hit the second one because everyone had already opened their Pepsi. 

That is what happened though.

He’s not. I remember discussing it. I do think it was one of the Tampa Bay games in 2016 or 2017. I don’t remember the exact situation but I vaguely remember us using a timeout that allowed them to continue the drive instead of running out the clock. It may not have caused us points because IIRC Gano and the Tampa kicker were trading misses to see who was the worst K. 

We beat the Bucs twice in 2017. In 2016, we lost one game against TB by going for 2 at the end and lost another by 3 but the scenario doesn't play out like he stated.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
