Ask him which he would rather do:
Win a game 52-7
Win a game 17-7
I promise you that he'd take the 17-7 win. He'd consider the 52 points VULGER. That's right, VULGER! As in, IMMORAL... In fact he wouldn't even answer the question, most likely. He'd say something like, "sure it's great to score a bunch of points, throw it all over the field and take a bunch of chances with the ball... Until they intercept it and run it back for a touchdown, what then? You get up two possessions, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna ice it, take the 'W.' You don't play to score points, you play to win the game."

You PROMISE that? His record contradicts that. For example:
Oct 6, 2006 Chiefs 41 SF 0 (he didn't ice it that day, huh?)
Nov 1 2004 Jets 41 Miami 14 (he didn't ice it then either)
Dec 5, 2004 Jets 29 Texans 7 (nor then)
Dec 19, 2004 Jets 37 Seattle 14 (three times in one year!)
Oct 12, 2003 Jets 30 Bills 3
Nov 3, 2002 Jets 44 Chargers 13
Nov 17, 200 Jets 31 Lions 14
Nov 24, 2002 Jets 31 Bills 13
Dec 29, 2002 Jets 42 Packers 17
Jan 4, 2003 Wildcard Game Jets 41 Colts 0
Nov 11, 2001 Jets 27 CHIEFS 7
Nov 18, 2001 Jets 24 Miami 0
That is 12 absolute blowouts that he has coached, without shutting down his offense after getting up 2 possessions as you put it.
This is a myth about Herm that history proves wrong.
