I think, especially early in the season, he was trying to instill that mentality/toughness/physicality that they can go do that if they need to.

But seriously, I hated it. Seemed like a 1984 Hogs Redskins type football. Power formation and run it up the gut. Really? Makes no sense to me at all. Either take the 3, or do soemthing a LITTLE more clever than show an obvious power run and run it up the gut.

AND THEN DO THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN LATER IN THE GAME. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?!?

I hated the playcalling for most of the game, to be honest. But everyone here will just say it's sour grapes or whatever, so I'm not going to bother talking much about it. Chiefs clearly outplayed the Pats and deserved the win. I'm not one to blame coaches often, but I thought the coaches sucked as well as the players for huge stretches of that game.

Must have been a pretty hard crash down to earth for the Pats- they were convinced they had the Greatest team ever assembled.
