Bourbon distilleries ought to send Shad a thank you card for the spike in business his franchise affords them

what I'm reading is that once Detroit can get into prevent defense, Mac should be able to improve on his remarkably poor stat line from this past Sunday.

You may be onto something. Those 2 yard bombs to Gabe will certainly make them both look a lot better. 

I may be completely wrong, I'm probably creating conspiracy theories but I have a theory. The Doug and Trevor relationship has gotten rockier the more the seasons gone on. We know that Shad loves Trevor and it's no coincidence that Trevor was spotted going to Shad's yacht and the next day Urban was gone. I think there's a battle behind the scenes. I think Trevor has been criticising Press and the system/calls (which therefore gets Doug pissed as you can't say anything against Press) and Doug has been trying to say Trevor hasn't been executing the O properly.

Now Trevor is 'hurt' l think Doug sees this as a chance to prove that Press isn't the problem. Hence the deep ball after the 2 minute warning Sunday to show it was Trevor, not the call that was the problem. 

I could easily be reading way too much into this, it may be this season finally breaking my brain but I just get a feeling there's something more.

Damn I've gone full Columbo. Never go full Columbo!
