That's one theory. Another is that perhaps the players themselves played crappy on purpose to get Wade Phillips axed.
Bob Costas did a quick little news update thing during the game, did you see it? In it he intimated that this would be looked into, and asked the question; "if they can play this well under the new coach, why couldn't they play this well for Wade Phillips?"
I'm paraphrasing but that's the gist of it.
Does seem like an incredibly dramatic change, and just due to a coaching change? I'm not sure what to think really.
