Good post. So it seems that there is truth to BB going 'bend but don't break', particularly when holding on to a late lead. Chewed up nails notwithstanding, the success of this strategy is obviously apparent in the overall success of the Pats...so its a small price to pay I guess.
Sure. If the other team patiently puts together long drives and makes no mistakes, they didn't "almost win", they lost if they needed 3 scores but got two and ran out of clock, or possessions. Also, most teams can't put together long drives without errors and that means turnovers.
On the other hand,a long pass or two can put a team quickly in contention, with the momentum.
