Pass 5th
Rush 13th
I was thinking about that as a sign of a good coach
As the season goes on luck becomes less prominent and intelligence gathering takes over.
Like how Jim Bob Cooter’s offenses never quite did as well when the league figured out what that year was about.
I would modify this thought as a sign of a great coaching staff.
You need really good quality control along with a brilliant OC. And an OC who can take that feedback and modify.
I can often call the play for other teams as the game progresses. But the Lions are so damn hard to predict.
