The Patriots Dynasty and Sun Tze’s Art of War
By Dr. Tom Chung
I am a Patriots fan, starting from the 1980s when they were a door mat in the NFL! I watched the recent AFC Championship game admiring the strategy especially in the second half! Whereas keeping the Kansas Chiefs scoreless in the first half was a master piece, the Patriots’ confidence in sticking with the offensive plan in the second half was even more impressive. The overall plan designed by Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick must have taken into account of the lethal offense power of the Chiefs. Even though the defense scheme may stun them in the beginning, one can be sure that the brilliant offensive mind of the Chiefs’ Head Coach Andy Reid would make adjustments in the second half. As guessed, the Chiefs’ offense indeed responded with 31 point. Would sticking with the same offensive enough to withstand the onslaught? Should Quarterback Brady compete with his young counterpart by throwing more and longer? No!
