6 timeouts was probably the right amount back in the day, but it was a totally different game. The games moved along a lot faster. Teams ran the ball much more. I think Starr and Dawson had about 50 passes between them in SB1. The great Pittsburgh and Miami teams had 2 1000 yd rushers. QB's didn't have a radio to the coach in their helmet and huge playsheet/wristbands on their nonthrowing hand. Teams didn't run the hurry up until it was desperation time. No stoppages for instant replay. Just a totally different game now.
