Seriously if you cant realize that defenses have dared us to beat them deep for a while now then I dont know what to tell you. You arent the only one who puts the tape on. NFL coaches get paid to do it.
Look back at that Carolina game. How many times was Wallace open deep? That is one of the top D's in the league. You dont think they showed less concern for getting burned deep than normally? We even hit one of those deep balls for a TD. It was an under throw of course, but Wallace made a nice play on the ball.
Obviously, they watched the film and didnt see our vertical passing game as a threat. Other teams picked up on it as well. Wallace has been open deep down the sidelines A LOT this season, especially later in the year.
Its no different than when basketball defenses dont fear a shooter. They want that guy taking those jumpers. Thats why LeBron and Wade got all of the attention in the playoffs. Teams dared Bosh to beat them with a 15 ft jumper. It may not have worked out for those defenses, but that was their best play.
