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.
