Did Mario think ND was out of timeouts at the end?

[UnForgiven]

Yes. I didn't think I was crazy. For that sequence, the scoreboard was showing TOO MANY timeouts, instead of NOT ENOUGH timeouts.

I even commented on that to my brother sitting next to me. It was bizarre. Usually the refs will make a comment and ask the scoreboard operator to adjust it accordingly.

I'm not sure about the view from the "home" side looking at the scoreboard above my head (and in front of you). If THAT one was showing the opposite (too FEW timeouts remaining), then there is an equipment malfunction.

I can confirm the view from Home side showed too many timeouts as well. I noticed it and commented to my wife about it.

Equipment malfunction or operator malfunction, not sure but sounds like both sides of stadium had it wrong.

Let me refresh some memories for the petty mfers.

Bro..i been keeping an eye on him since he got here he always looks SUPER nervous and tense.

I understand football is emotional but man, this mf paces up and down the sidelines all game like he’s ready to run on the field lmao

All game long…

 

[TomAce]

Didn't we hire a guy specifically to keep track of timeouts or something?

Its displayed on the scoreboard

Did you miss all of the posts pointing out that the scoreboard was wrong?

Guess so???

Again, that is a different issue. You can have unlimited "injury timeouts". But you are docked a REAL timeout for a FAKE injury.

You’re right about that

I give the guy a ton of credit, and he does deserve plenty of it, but I'd be remiss to not point out flaws.

Go back and watch the game again. Mario had no idea ND still had 1 timeout left when we ran the ball on 3rd and 4 at the end of the game.

There was 1:14 left to go in the game, we had 3rd and 4 from the ND 30. After the 1 yard run from Brown, they cut to Mario, and you can see him confused and saying "NO WAY!". I'm 100% convinced he was yelling at the refs thinking ND was out of timeouts when they clearly had 1 left. He was thinking he could run it down to about 30 seconds and kick the FG, and even if you miss, you're probably going to overtime. Otherwise, why are you playing for a FG with a minute left?

So instead of running it down to 30 seconds like he thought they would, you have to kick with over a minute left, and now even if you make it, you leave them a full minute to just go down to get a FG to tie the game.

Thankfully the defense bailed us out and completely swallowed Carr on the last drive, but this is maddening stuff. The dude has so many positive qualities and I was fully in support of him getting this job, and still am because the program has been flipped, but **** you've been a Head Coach for 15 years now, this is stuff that an 8 year old playing Madden is on top of.

If I'm wrong, someone tell me how and I'll gladly delete this. But I was at the game and going berserk how we played it, and it still makes very little sense but it makes slightly more if you know he thinks they were out of timeouts. Watching it back, I almost fell off the couch and immediately said to myself, "Holy ****, he thought they were out of timeouts".

Why are you going beserk? It was 4th down, he was going to kick a FG. Now if he had decided to pass in attempt to get the first down instead of going for the FG, I could see being upset. Your just looking for a chance to criticize with no solid basis for your response. Whether he thought they were out of time outs or not, he made the right decsion. As for the defense bailing us out, the defensive play was not so great in the 2nd half excluding Bain’s interception. In this case the offense bailed us out. One thing you need to learn, Madden is not real!

Impressive to post this many words and have literally all of them be wrong. My hat, sir? It's off.

Anyone see the Syracuse dual fake injury?

If he assembles rosters as talented as the ones Butch did in 2000 thru 2003, I'll gladly take it.

It's possible a ref told him they had one less timeout rather than him just assuming so.

Butch, who built one of the best teams in college football history?

I expect nothing less from a Fran-Brown-corched team.

Again, the refs announced the correct numbers over the stadium PA system, and you can hear it on the television broadcast.

 

[JHallCanes]

They love it, man. You can see it in the pre-game video all over TikTok. The Canes are about to run on the field and I **** you not, Mario has to be back in the 80s. It is extremely hard for great players to lose that feeling.

If he hasn’t already, he should walk to the math department and find himself a genius and hand off all those split time decisions, preferably a nerd that doesn’t even know what football is.

100% thought you were gonna say walk to the math department and give a kid a wedgie

You would think he would would appeal to the BBB crowd. He doesn't.
