Also, playing prevent USUALLY results in a dumpoff to the back. He could have called an overload blitz to one side, a zone blitz. An all-out cover-0 blitz was NOT necessary.

Agree 100%. The coaches across the field get paid too and they're going to figure it out....obviously.
Calling the same play 3 times in a row on a critical drive is pretty bush-league IMO.
