I couldn't disagree more on the Pats playing a conservative game. This team knows who they are, they sling the ball all over the field. You do not achieve the level of success that the Pats have without knowing who you are as a football team and executing your game plan. I highly doubt the Pats will employ the power I and run the ball 35 times because they are afraid of losing. If anything, they have shown the ability to dig themselves out of holes throughout the season by putting the ball in Brady's hands and saying, "go win us a football game."
