The Chiefs sold out to stop the run the first two plays. It is pretty clear they are going to do it again. The Pats probably figured they would get a couple yards at most by trying to run again. The Pats figure, why not go maximum protection, and see if Randy Moss can beat single coverage? If he's covered you punt from deep in your endzone, just like you would by running.
Gun counted on Belichick to be stupid. Gun practically forced the Pats to take a shot down the field. Then we act surprised.
One of the things a good coaching does is to keep the other team guessing. We don't even try do that. We telegraph 90% of what we are trying to do. Our coaching staff willfully concedes a whole aspect of the game. They contribute zero to the mental and strategic aspects of football.
