“Playing not to lose instead of playing to win” is such a nonsensical statement. People always say it as if they’re being profound or something. Unless you’re trying to tie, those things are the same.
How many pass attempts were there in the 4th quarter? Let’s be real, there was a stubbornness to run to the left, the running backs were mostly ineffective and the best outcomes were with the ball in Fields’ hands.
So they refused to pass, and the only pass attempt the after going up 12 was the bomb to Scott. That was a staff that was scared. The outcomes of the Scott pass were either a deep completion or an overthrow. I’m sure that’s even what Fields was told.
It speaks to a staff with no idea how to win. When you turtle up for an entire quarter you are inviting the Lions to come back
It just means that you stop taking risks because you’re afraid one of those risks might cause you to lose, but in turn you also sacrifice the rewards that make you more likely to win. The optimal strategy usually involves taking those risks, because otherwise you wouldn’t have taken those risks for the first three quarters of the game.
