Like the coach has nothing to do with Goff’s failures. Either you fit your scheme to the player’s strengths or you find a guy who fits your scheme. Either way, he may be a good coach but he’s no offensive genius.
What worries me about your scenario, is that when you surrender momentum to the opponent and then play them again, the odds are that they can/will beat you. I’d rather win out and take my chances in the playoffs with a head of steam.
I was lucky enough to be at the 1964 game at the old rock pile. It was my 2nd year with season tix and my dad and I didn’t miss a game until I left for college in 1972. Great game, and I remember rushing home afterward for a family holiday get-together. I was 9-years old. 😀
