Awesome division showdown game mathan/Rams, you had us bottled up tight for 3+ quarters. Both defenses were super stingy. Thought we had lost it after your FG with a minute to go.
The general thought on defense by the most successful MFNers is to not worry about the overuse penalty, that it will not be a major factor against you. However, in this case, it ended up being the big difference in the game with 47 secs left, using a HB Flare short pass play and throwing it to a receiver with 72 speed. Both 4th qtr pass catch and run TDs scored were on overused defense play penalties. The overuse penalty does not get much worse than that. Here are the two plays mentioned.........
2-10-LAR 30 (7:41) 8-Elias Strack pass complete to 10-Eric Beck for 30 yards. TOUCHDOWN! If the defense doesn't start mixing up their plays a bit more we might see more big gains like that one. LAR 7 SEA 6
Offensive Play: Shotgun Normal HB Flare
Defensive Play: 4-3 Normal Double WR1 - Pass Key2-7-SEA 28 (0:47) 8-Elias Strack pass complete to 89-John Wirtz for 72 yards. TOUCHDOWN! It looks like the offense is starting to get familiar with that defensive play. LAR 45-Corey Flynn was injured on the play. LAR 10 SEA 13
