I still think the most baffling non-game decision I've seen by our coaches was making the injured guys travel to SB48 separately a few days later.

Made no sense. We're either a team or we're not. Dumb ass Fox.

I never could figure that one out either. Was really disappointed in that decision.

But was it the coaches, or the suits? I thought it was the execs that made that decision, which they thankfully rectified the next time around, bringing the entire organization to SB50.

Fox said it was his call. He wanted the guys who were playing to focus on each other or some shit like that

John Fox was not a great coach. Giving how much talent he had in Carolina, and at Denver, it always felt like he was just a good coach in great situations...it was surprising that he was so stupid on that one.

I mean...FFS.

Ha!

I remember being bothered/upset watching Sportscenter the night the Broncos travelled to NY for SB 48. The clips of them getting off the airplane, and virtually all of them had their phones out videoing the experience. Like kids at Disney or something. I thought then that they looked unfocussed and out of place. They were just happy to be there.

So. .. as to being "focussed" Fox missed the boat on that one.
