You know, I sense a little genius in Andy's bizarre 3rd and short play calling.
1. He knows that even if they fail to get the 1st down, they'll likely win anyway because it's a long game. If they get it, good. If not, oh well, we still have Pat.
2. Every defense will have to run miles of tape of these wacky plays and that tape grows every week until the end of the season. Ergo,
3. Playoff teams will be forced to defend against every one of those plays, whether or not they worked in the regular season.
4. Playoff time and it's 3rd and 2 ..... Andy lines up a RB and a blocking back and goes Martyball while the linebackers are all over the field expecting who knows what.
I'll bet Andy is even planning on a QB sneak on 4th and 1 when a playoff game is on the line.
