Last year the 1-15 Miami Dolphins brought back the left-for-dead Wildcat formation into the NFL and went from last to first.
To be accurate, the loss of Tom Brady and the addition of Brett Favre within the division helped Miami get 1st place instead of 3rd. If the Patriots beat Miami by having Tom Brady in just that game, then the seedings would have been Patriots, Jets, Miami, Buffalo. Miami had just enough success to compete with the Brady-less Patriots and interception-king Favre, barely winning the tiebreakers against them.
Also, the loss of Tom Brady in game one of the season likely inspired Miami, and beating the Patriots without Tom Brady, as well. In fact, the wildcat formation was first used against the Patriots, if I am not mistaken. Had the Patriots beaten them, would they have tried it again? Also, Bill Parcells didn't throw those balls; their players were versatile.
The problem isn't that underdogs don't take more chances.
The problem is that underdogs don't know how to do it.
Being an underdog startup is tough enough. Not knowing how to compete is even tougher.
This sounds fancy, but I don't see what you're saying.
