Blue Pill - Keep celebrating individual stats. Number 1 punter this, top qb that, clutch this, etc. on a 1 win team set to draft 2nd overall. Ok, to each their own.
Red Pill - We can focus on how this team can win. Having a punter punt 70 yards has done nothing but allow opposing offenses to take up half a quarter to march the whole field to score, while leaving our high powered offense minimal drives, no time left to win the game (Washington), or when they do have time to win a game they can't get the FG off (but it got them a safety!). Building a team around a punter is for defensive minded coaches trying to win 16-13 score games. Just give them the ball on the 50 and let them score quicker at this point. Give the ball back to the offense as many times as possible.
