[Senator Clay Davis]

Being risk averse in the other teams half makes no sense anymore. Game is miles different than it used to be, offensive innovation and the slanting of rules towards offense gives more incentive to take risks because it's so much easier to score points than it used to be. Even with the missed fourth down in the first half the Patriots should have scored 24 points in a half. So it's not like it used to be when you "left points out there", because it's nowhere near as hard to make those points up as it used to be.
