you didn't miss anything. I said DY had done a good job catching punts after news came he had broken his wrist. That sent the bipolar minority over the edge.
So, the "reliable" guy fumbles away a touchdown. The "flashy" guy results in the Broncos taking over across midfield. Yeah, playing scared is the way to go.
There's a difference between playing scared and playing smart. Not saying this is the case at all, but if North is muffing punts 10% of the time in practice, give me the safe option.
