This is long and I encourage you to read this installments. I'm making a conscious effort to keep it as understandable as possible if you are a casual fan. However, if you want to learn, you still have to try even if it's only a concept or two per week that you fully digest. I'll use pictures for the pivotal plays if you learn better visually. If you rewatch the game, or even specific parts of it, this can be used as a companion piece. And yes, I know this is the defensive review but I always like to lead off here by discussing the offense.
