Yep, live by the blitz, die by the blitz…but conversely, there’s plenty of sacks, int’s, and turnovers that can be shown while blitzing too…but that was a dumb call no matter how you slice it.
Philosophically I’m not a fan of giving up free big plays and free scores. I am of the old Tony Dungy mindset of making the other team earn it. For me personally, I like to send minimal “blitzes” but lots of different rush packages.
Its just going back to another thread about blitzing. “Why don’t you like blitzing?” A play like that is why I am not a fan. I realize it looks great when it works. But when you don’t get home, it can get ugly quick. Situationally I have zero idea why the Dolphins sent an all out blitz there, it made no sense.
I think to pull off the un-perfect season you have to have the refs against you. That’s why it was possible for the Lions and Browns to do it. Its also why I think the Bengals have a better chance of it than the Dolphins.
