Did Ron throw the challenge flag as a response to Cam screaming at the playcall?

[PhillyB]

Conspiracy theory. Ridiculous low percentage challenge, came after Cam screamed at him and the clock was about to die.

Would an embattled, marginally unconfident head coach spontaneously chuck the flag as a self defense mechanism? Or am I just blinded by my lack of trust in this coaching staff?

[Harbingers]

Yes. To the first half of your post. 

No. To the second.

if you noticed DA was literally right there. He got a ref spot view on it.

this will have been a completely stupid series if we don't convert

what a waste

[PhillyB]

Ron got emasculated in front of the team and threw the flag as a thinly-veiled way to change his mind. It's doubtful anyone was fooled and now this team knows who runs poo.

Look for Ron to try to make up for it later with a completely unnecessary and overboard power move.

[OneBadCat]

I thought the same thing. If he let the playclock run out he would have looked like the biggest dumbass.

[Bourbarian]

Absolutely. Told my wife as soon as I saw him pull the flag out that he was backtracking. It was either that or use a time out. Also, this had the lucky byproduct of improving field position by a yard or so. 

Gotta listen to your squad once in a while. This could be a significant moment this season.

Rom was a legitimate great coach after the Arizona game for all of 2013. Hasn't been that way since the Niners loss though. Not sure what the hell happened

[Mr. Scot]

I think he was screaming at him to go for the first down rather than the field goal. Ron responded by throwing a challenge flag.

Ugh.

Aikman called him out on the broadcast for not living up to his 'Riverboat Ron' moniker. 

And yeah, this incident makes Ron look like 1) he's  coward and 2) he's not in control.

Yep. Completely transparent.

This game is a transition where the players are rising above the BS and over the coaching.  

I'm telling you, we need a new staff even with the playoffs this season.  Change is needed.

Like benching the QB for not wearing a tie?

[Proudiddy]

I think he challenged his subconscious.
