Tony,

As a fan is easy to be a armchair coach, but there is something I noticed during this game. The announcers posted a stat showing how the Lions' D-coordinator bitlzed a lot during 2nd downs. Throughout the game, it seemed as though this was true, yet the team seemed to refuse to adjust to this unstoppable blitz.

My question is...do coaches adjust when they seem that something is just not working? I just felt like Shanahan was sticking to his plan and did not adjust to the fact that the offensive line could not pick up the blitz. They continued to snap the ball from under center, especially in situations where they needed short yardage, and often, if not always, the offensive line would get overwhelmed.
