You kind of touched on it at the end there, but even more than the momentum stuff, what bugs me about the "discourse" online is the suggestion (implied or otherwise) that Campbell should have for some reason thrown away his entire coaching style and mindset in these moments...keeping in mind that style and mindset turned around a decades-old losing culture and brought his team to the NFC Championship! Playing aggressively but then folding the moment you fail or get criticized is how you get Brandon Staley.
Really great article!
