And, as SNR pointed out,

The football media seems to lack any understanding of the difference between the regular season and the playoffs. You only go all out to win a game in the regular season if your season depends upon it. If it doesn't, you don't sacrifice everything for the sake of that one game. I guess some coaches can take that approach, but it's not a good idea.

OTOH, once you're in the playoffs, your season is hanging in the balance in every single game. This is where you do whatever it takes to win because there is no next week for the loser.

Some of these people need to learn the concept of a "pyrrhic victory."

Reid coached the Super Bowl like there’s a game the week after.
