Just listened to Ron's presser, and he was asked what his thinking was during the last couple minutes of the 1st half... he said that his philosophy in running a 2 min drill from your 20 yd line is that you do not call timeouts until you get close to the 50.... said you don't want to leave time on the clock for the opposition....

Yeah, I heard it at the time. What he didn't address is that teams run the hurry up offense until they need to use a timeout. We didn't. We operated with no sense of urgency whatsoever.

I'm sorry Ron. In my book, you wussed out. You were afraid we'd make a mistake, so you didn't go for it. Maybe we get 7 points there and easily win. Maybe we get 3 and squeak out a close one. Maybe we throw a pick 6 and lose the game. So what? We lost anyway.

Even after you said all of that... There were 11 players on the field (all vets) (2 Team Captains) that failed to call a timeout as well.

Chalk it up to a learning experience that will NEVER be forgotten

In theory, it would have worked. However, no sense of urgency. We wasted 10 seconds between plays at one point. You take one when you have 3. After that, then you wait till you break the 50. Ideally, it takes no more than 2 plays to go from the 20 to the 50. We didn't do that. We have to burn a timeout there. That would have bought us enough time to draw something up and get a big chunk play. What the actual fug were we thinking there?

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
