His mom died giving birth to him. It's like she knew.

The wording is a bit weird there but Underhill has alluded to this as well. Most teams script 10-15 of their best plays to try to build an early lead, and usually when those fail a team finds it very hard to come back.

With Moore, it seems he is more prodding the defense to see what they are running before making the 2nd qtr/halftime adjustments to counter what they are seeing. Then we hit them with our best counter plays to what is being run, and keep adapting from there.

And this is a trait Moore has shown for a long time. His teams seem to always start slow on offense before eventually exploding for points once he has it figured out.

So not necessarily sacrificing the first qtr, but using it differently than how most teams do. We'd still love to score early if we can, but the focus seems to be info gathering more than anything.

The limit is 8 players. 10 if you reach the post season (though not sure if the time frame is shortened for the last 2 since that's at the end of the year).

Olave was covered well and didn't have the depth to get in. He was a decoy on the play to draw defenders out to him, but only one followed.

Vele was option one but the LB knew the play and jumped it from the snap. Lance was option 2 or 3 depending on how the Lions played it. He looked at coming back to Olave but he never had a shot with the super shallow route. It needed to be deeper, but he was also trying to draw the safety up to open up the fade, but the safety stayed on Lance (making Lance the 3rd read).

Etienne came out super late and the play was never designed to go that way. I think that was just Etienne trying to make a heads up play with no blitz/defender coming through, but Shough was never reading to that side.

Lions literally played that perfectly, and the design of Olave's route was too shallow. You can run the same concept but you have to make Olave's route a legit option if anyone follows him (only way the route works the way they ran it is if he's wide open). They obviously got a hold of some tape from somewhere...

Good thing they didn't suck today and even had a chance to win at the very end.

That and you can see the potential of Lance already. He is going to be a good one. We have our 4 Horsemen at WR it seems.

This guy gets it.

Sports Illustrated is saying it.

He's one of the special teams captains (not knocking it, just explaining why you see him over some others you might expect). Same with Wood if people are wondering who he even is (which you definitely should).

I wasn't using any stat to make an argument. I was just pointing out how extraordinary bad you are at math if you think 7% is anywhere close to 26%. Trying to compare those records to make a point is fricking stupid.
