That's just how Fangio defenses work. The meaningful recent change is that they've been able to play the run really well out of Nickel. Well, Fangio Nickel. So that means it presents like 4-2-5, but the personnel is actually 2-4-5. It's also why worrying about DE vs OLB isn't really a concern. Those guys have to do a lot whatever you label it.

To be clear, I haven't looked at the coaches' film yet to see what they did and did not do schematically. But the entire point of Fangio's defense is the illusion of simplicity. We really do not know anywhere near enough to make conclusions from the broadcast angle. I won't get to that for a couple of days.

Looking forward to seeing your analysis. To play devil's advocate, it's now 3 games already against ATL, NO, and JAX, that the defense had late leads and absolutely folded in the last 2 mins. Great that Dean got that pick, but let's be real. Dean on an island in the endzone against a WR is an L 90% of the time

Thank you for the kind words, but I want to make sure you know that pick wasn’t against a WR. It was D’Ernest Johnson (RB) on a Wheel route.

I am sure I am late here, but I really don’t mind that Jason Kelce smashed that dudes phone.

I am, in most instances, for ‘f**k around and find out’

Ahhh, I didn't know that. I turned it off seconds after the play, before the replay even showed

That Hopkins TD was the first time Mahomes has ever thrown a touchdown pass in a tied game in the 4th quarter.

A useless, but somewhat unbelievable, stat.

I know it's will end up as bad asset valuation. The Eagles are a longshot to win a SB. I don't care. If the Raiders trade Crosby...I'm all in.
