A long time ago, I heard Brett Favre talk about winning football games. He was on the subject of how to beat an opponent and how to make adjustments to take on opposing defenses.
Brett’s take on it was something I’ll paraphrase here for you:
“Why would we adjust what we do based on the other team? That doesn’t make any sense. We’re going to do what we do best and dare them to stop us. We’re gonna jam it down their throats and we’re gonna win.”
Now, I get that Bill Belichick’s team is the antithesis of that thought process.
