Listening to this video up to the first chorus....

Honest question. Is it normal for a band's guitar players to be so damn bad at playing their own songs?

He messes up the pattern a couple of times in the first few measures, and then he settles into it. It is not a big deal.

The entire first verse is in and out of being in time, and its sloppy in general

I never think of Pearl Jam songs as working in the context of sports highlights reels but this worked...even better than MLB completely reconfigured the meaning to Can’t Deny Me for their World Series promo.
