The most effective way to win football games when you have the lead is to minimize the risk of costly mistakes and get the clock to zero as fast as possible.
The most effective way to win football games when you're behind is to take chances and hope you don't make costly mistakes even though you're increasing your risk of doing so, and try to make the game as long as possible so you have as much opportunity as possible to come back.
In either case you have to execute. You can execute less effectively and still maximize your opportunity to win if you make the game short when you're winning and long when you're behind though.
Today it didn't work because guys didn't make the plays they needed to at just the time they most needed them - not because coaching lost them the game.
