Every season is different-- teams are different, injuries, limeups, match-ups. Each game has a different set of factors. Even changes in routines can affect professional behaviors. That said, I hoped there would be a stronger start of all three team facets. I honestly thought it would be close at the end, if turnovers were not a factor. What happens in these situations is in the control of playmakers. You have to have playmakers on the field. that is what differentiates the better coaches. Note Belicheck's on side kick, managed by McD's having experienced special team front liners who covered up. He saw how the ball was placed on the tee and anticipated what to do. Note when Zimmer and Feliciano are inserted into the lineup.. It is not an accident; it is strategic.
