Traveling For the SB?

Denver is 1 hour ahead of Cali, while Carolina is 3 hours ahead. Its a shorter flight distance as well for them. Not to mention, 2 of Denver conference teams are in Cali. It's more common for them going there

Was it a good idea to travel to Cali 1 week before the SB game? Why not travel that Monday noon after the NFC Championship Game and practice that week there in San Jose? Was San Jose preoccupied with other activities?

I'm reading on Panthers.com about the Panthers not themselves on Sunday. One thing I know is the team seemed to lack energy at the start of the game which is something the Panthers exceled at. Jumping out quick.. Spending 1 week adjusting to the time difference of East-West isn't enough for football teams, but add in the all the off-field media requirements on that same week can definitely throw a team off

That would have been to long out there for the team.  Honestly they shouldn't have to be out there until Wednesday.

Agreed. I stayed at the team hotel on Thurs night and they were already tired. 

The media circus was crazy. 

And while I was ecstatic to be staying there, the team would do well to do as they told the players that it was only players, friends, and family, and starting on Friday, employees. Players asked who I was with and confused as to how I was there. So having a refuge from additional outside ppl could be beneficial.
