Talk me down: Did we quit?

You can't win the game if you don't show up to play.

They sold plenty "Finish Strong" books but can't read their own writing.

I said it on another thread. bad clock management. Why do we continue to call timeouts at the line of scrimmage. I know a lot of teams, do that as the prevailing wisdom allows, but it drives me bananas..... You always end up needing that wasted timeout at the end of the game.

We did not "quit," but our coach apparently thought it was third quarter.

I actually saw some rather vicious defense being played by us. Ask their Joe Schmoe QB how he feels this morning.

I think we need REGGIE! Trade those FG's and missed FG's for LEAPING TOUCHDOWNS.

ROFLMAO Maybe Payton will try that as one of his motivational ploys. Start Strong Finish With More Points.

I agree with x6, start the game with the 2 minute offense and make their d figure out things on the fly. You get the opposing team's dc and box involved and they have demonstrated they can out smart Payton. We can run practically any play with any personnel, so why not pump up the tempo to instill a sense of urgency right away!
