Yes, it does reinforce your opinion. Just posting for a little more clarity on the process. To be clear though, we marched down for the FG to open the second half, not a TD. TD was on the next possession that actually bled into the 4th Q, not that takes away from your point in any way.

I think the best way to sum this up is a rather simple statement.

A coach scripts plays based on a combination of what he thinks the defense will do and where weaknesses may be exploited.

When he's right -- scripting works. When he's wrong -- scripting doesn't.

Now obviously there is a scale between "works" and "doesn't". For us, many times it seems to work very well. Since we can safely assume that we rehearse (practice) these scripted plays more, maybe there is some disconnect in the way we practice all the other plays. Or a problem with how intense or lengthy our actual practice sessions are. Not saying for sure, mostly just spit-balling.
