Maybe it wasn't really that way, but it sure seemed like we'd run it on 1st down into a defense expecting us to run it on first down and getting nothing.
Then repeat on 2nd down.
Then the defense is back on the field.
If it always happens then you don't have a problem giving me a specific example do you? Funny how some people say this is Marvin's "biggest fault" but when I ask for a specific example they can't give me one.
Also when they claim that great coaches like Belichick "never take the foot off the gas" I can provide multiple examples of Belichick being much more conservative with a lead in the second half.
I'll admit that sometimes the Bengals get outplayed in the second half. But it is "poor play" not "too conservative play calling".
