It's not indefensible when the opponent is willing to trade 5 yards for a kill shot and has been delivering them all game.

It takes one guy to slow up on that route because he's tired of getting hit to turn the game around. It takes one play where the ball is separated from the receiver and bounces up into the maelstrom to give them the turnover they need.

As a general rule I don't disagree with you, but that's exactly my point. This game was ALL about Andy not coaching to a predetermined script. All about not using the general rule.

In THIS game, what he did was the right thing to do. Because those guys were laying the wood out there. They WANTED this game to be played in between the hashes and underneath the safeties.

We refused to give them what they wanted. I absolutely believe that was what led to some of those frustration penalties.
