Custer was overly confident.

Up until halftime.

Up until halftime.

Couldn't make those halftime adjustments, I guess.

Is MLF a descendent of Custer?

Hafley ran a solid defense, but it did seem predictable. I didn't see much difference from year 1 to year 2. His D was decimated by injuries, notably Parsons and Wyatt, and the CB group was just not good - mostly due to the players rather than the defensive calls.

Pending who's on the field after injuries, that can limit what you can call. Losing Parsons and Wyatt, and getting less pressure on tge QB because of that, makes the DB's job tougher. Hard to cover guys for 5-10 seconds.

Good point. When Parsons joined the team, he got to the QB so quickly that receivers couldn't run complete routes longer than 3 or 4 yards, if that. It did make the job of the DBs much easier.

Yup and if the DB's can cover their men well, that allows the DL to have a better shot of sacking the QB or forcing a bad pass. 11 pieces to a well greased defense. 1 fails and it can make the other 10 look like they failed too.

Yes. It made me revisit that story. One lesson to be taken was to never underestimate the strength of your opponent. Better to be over prepared than ill prepared.

Whether on the frontier or the other side of the world, Hubris can be the downfall of any military commander. Like King Darius the Persian.

My wife and I stopped for a tour of Little Big Horn on our trip 2 years ago on our drive from the Black Hills to Yellowstone. It was so much different than what I expected, most specifically the amount of area in which the battle took place was much smaller than I had imagined it to be.
