I don't think they were told to chip or stand still, or play safe.

For sure there is give and take. And both teams are trying to impose their style of play. Games are fluid with multiple factors at play. And no, they weren't told to stand still - that's another result, or symptom. But I saw a team playing a very different style than the one they played very effectively for the first 60 or 70 games of the season.
