LOL you would make a perfect opposing coach. 'Pats don't seem so tough...it's 4th quarter...we're up by 10, we got this.'
They run a conservative offense in an effort to make the opponent settle in and feel comfortable at half time and beyond, and don't feel pressured to break out of it even if they are down 7 even 10 points. then switch everything in the 4th. they would rather be ahead, don't get me wrong, but they don't believe in playing a game of lead changes....if they are down the lead changes once....right at the end.
As always who knows if they will pull it off AGAIN today....but I suspect everyone watching this game is going....'here we go again'.
