Amazing the stark difference between playing from behind vs ahead.  Problem being , during a playoff run it’s quite unlikely you are always going to be even or ahead due to the quality of opponent.  You can’t have only one path to victory.

what scares me is how even I (with zero background in playing or coaching football ..  zero background in formations or play calling or personell packages) can immediately recognize what we are going to do pre-snap. We have such a seemingly limited armamentarium of plays that anything outside of the most basic is easily distinguished.

If it’s easy for me to see what’s coming, imagine what a d coordinator with extensive game footage study can see.  I think Brady might be a very  average coordinator that drops to less than average when not in a position to direct game flow due to time / score.    But I have no expert knowledge to validate this.  Just a hunch based on watching other teams with lesser Qbs operate
