That led to 35 yards of total Offense on the first 2 combined and 15 yards on possession #3.Even IF the bend not break mentality was completely planned, it severely limited the # of snaps for our Offense, which in turn keeps them from attaining any sort of rhythm.  It’s a failed strategy to keep the ball out of the most talented player on the fields’ hands (unless it’s your opponent)  You’d essentially be cutting your own throat to a degree.As our opponent. The game plan proved valid and provides a template on how to beat us. Control the clock and limit possessions. You don’t even necessarily need to score TD’s for it to work. If you can do both? It’s highly successful. It’s an old fashioned game of Keep Away. It’s also ironically one key ingredient GB has employed to win games this year. We got a taste of our own medicine.</blockquote>
