Just another example ...

Yesterday, against the Steelers, with just under 1:50 left to go in the first half, Steelers were in a goal-to-go situation (can't remember if it was 1st or 2nd down, but it doesn't matter). The Pats HC calls a timeout and proceeds to use up all his timeouts in an effort to have enough time to try to score before the half. The Pats end up not doing much but they, at least, tried.

My only thought during those moments was that Lewis would NEVER have called timeout and would have preferred to let the clock run down.

I know this isn't news to anyone, but I'm just so fed up with Lewis' same old coaching style that hasn't seemingly changed in who knows how many years.

Couldn't agree more and I said this same thing in the game day thread. There's no urban legend about it !

I've seen numerous examples just this season of other teams/HC's doing their utmost to make every possession count no matter how much time is left or what the field position is.

Marvin on the other hand looks to run the clock out and plays scared - always.
