No doubt this is very true speaking of double reverse flee flickers.
I remember vividly in that 08 season Payton called some crazy overly cute play with the game on the line resulting in Reggie Bush or maybe Devery Henderson getting stuffed.
In that moment the calls for Payton’s job were loud and widespread. 2009 was a make or break year for him. We kicked Detroit’s teeth in week one and Payton never had to look over his shoulder again, even thru the doldrums of 7-9 seasons of 2014-2016.
One stupid play call in the wrong moment can sink any coach.
