The Pete Carmichael Problem

I don't think I realized that these plays were on the opening drive, my brain clearly tried hard to forget. If that's the case, then the thing that scares me about these two plays in particular is that they were on a scripted drive. Which means that everyone in the final game planning session on Saturday night signed off on adding these asinine plays into the script. This wasn't Pete trying to be clever in a bubble, this was the whole staff + DC (if we are to believe he's a part of that meeting like DB was) thinking that these were good designs.
