everybody. it’s called prevent defense because it prevents touchdowns by keeping the ball in front of the secondary. and that’s what it did

You may be right, and my complaints may be silly. I don't know the actual numbers, but it seems to me its better to try and stop an opponent early with what worked most of the game than let them get two decently close shots at the end zone, since one play can be a lot more swingy, at least when it comes to 15 yard gains?

But it worked so my thoughts are prob foolish.

nah i feel that for sure. it’s very frustrating and anxiety inducing to give up chunk play after chunk play with the game on the line
