It’s just gonna come down to which defense did their homework more and can figure out the tendencies of the opposing offense to get enough stops.
I’m thinking 37 is the number

So is Spags a wild-card here?
My feeling on Spagnolo was made pretty clear. I was ultimately convinced on the hire by the quality of assistants we were able to get to hitch their wagon to him (smart follows smart), but ultimately felt like his reputation was overblown.
But he's come up with unique gameplans twice already in the post-season and in the process has really made things difficult for the opposition. And those two squads couldn't be much more different on offense. Spags had something for 'em both.
It's possible that there's something to what he was able to do to NE in the SB that year. We saw a 'light' version of it the last 2 weeks. So does he have another ace up his sleeve? Is he really a guy who can individually gameplan for opponents?
Because man - if he's capable of doing even 80% of the individualized attacks that Reid can do, that's a potentially huge advantage. That's not to say he'll be holding SF to 13, but if he can hold them to 24 that has to put us in the driver's seat.
