That also provides some evidence that BB felt he had had to resort to his old Bag of tricks game plans and Wiles to beat the JESTers.
Fortunately Rex, like Peyton was too short-sighted and dumb, to notice that he was being had. Buffalo the SB favorite probably didn't think it would make a difference, but they too were outscored, while Thurman got his !00+ plus (useless) yards.
Good lord, man...
In the hall of fame gameplan that you are speaking of, the Buffalo offense was limited to 20 minutes, which was the point of the entire scheme. It was about keeping the ball away from them and having their offense control the clock to keep Jim Kelly and company off the field.
How did that happen on Thursday night vs. the Jets as they (Jets) had the ball for 41 minutes? You simply aren't making any sense whatsoever. What you are suggesting would be the exact opposite of the HOF game plan for Super Bowl 25.
Just to show you how crazy this theory is, here's a tweet from Andy Hart stating how low the odds were of winning this game: "The Patriots became just the 5th team in NFL history to win when outgained on the ground by at least 150 yards with no takeaways produced." If this was Belichick's gameplan (which it clearly wasn't), then he should be committed.
