You really should upgrade from that 87 Yugo. Maybe you would feel better about yourself and stop being a complete anus
I just went back and read through the play-by-play, and here's a stat that surprised me twice. We only handed LF the ball 3 times on 3rd down all night. The second surprise? He was 0 for 3, once on 3rd and 1, and once on 3rd and 3.
In these situations, I'm starting to wonder if the kicker goes out assuming he's going to get iced with a TO. Is he really ready to kick when he steps up the first time?
We shouldn't ever expect to see him throw 30+. And I have no problem at all with a run-heavy philosophy; hell, we're built for it. But the rest of your point is spot-on.
