When they ran the ball on 3rd down from the one and got swallowed behind the LOS and had to burn a timeout was their biggest mistake. You have to throw a pass in that situation.
With the rules forcing defenses to play with their hands tied behind their back, it doesn't take a good QB anymore to win a Super Bowl. Even Stafford proved that as long as you're ugly enough even a woman can win a Super Bowl in today's NFL.
The choice is always there for Lamar to run. He's the most lethal runner the NFL has ever seen. Nobody has stopped him yet, except himself.
The issue for QBs like Lamar is psychological. The ego takes control and they can't help themselves. Because every human since birth has been programmed...
They can win a Super Bowl when they stop trying to be something they're not. But, time after time these kind of QBs try to win the game with their arm and not their legs. It's asinine. Lamar should've been out there trying to run for 200 yards, not pass for 300.
Look, a dead body is an upgrade over Arthur Smith. Who drafts a TE and a RB in the first round and then puts them in a 50/50 timeshare with the lackluster backup at their position?
Meanwhile, Blank, another Arthur(maybe the only 2 in the world?), fires Smith because the offense sucked. And...
For now holding an opponent under 100 points is our definition of good defense. But, fear not, Golden will eventually solve the 27 page equation he's been working on over the last 15 years. When that day comes, Golden promises to bring us mind blowing defense.
Napier could go full Sandusky mode and would still come out with a raise and contract extension. I appreciate the NCAA making an effort to improve our situation but they can't even begin to fathom the depths of our hell.
