I'm loving what I'm seeing so far, but I can't say whether this year is different until I actually see them win a playoff game.
Now, if the team could avoid stupid coaching errors; coming out flat after halftime; AND the defense not fading in the 4th quarter, I would be on the optimistic
side. Right now, I am on the side of

I can't recall the last time poor clock management cost us points or a game. Not saying it has never happened, but I can ot recall when it has.
So tell me that last time his poor clock management has costs us points or a game.

It just happened. He has two timeouts with 33 seconds left. They do a short pass in the middle of the field and get to about the 45. They don't call a TO and run 20+ seconds off the clock. Then they run it and call TO -- leaving one on the table.
He could have at least tried to get to about the 38. It was like 17 yards. I've seen that done dozens of times... and they got points.

You can't say that decision "cost us points" anymore than I can say it "saved us from a turnover".
When teams go into hurry-up mode more mistakes are made. When defenses do not have to even think about the run interceptions are more common.
You can't honestly believe that every "hurry-up drive" at the end of a half generates points and never results in a turnover.

Last two years the Bengals have ranked 7th and 11th in points scored in the third quarter.
You must be confused as to what movie you are watching. seems to me you are just listening to message board and talk radio myths instead of watching the movie for yourself.

How do the Bengals fare in the second half of primetime and playoff games?
That's what most people are referring to when they mention the second half issues, but I'm not 100% certain about this exact poster. There is an undeniable problem in the second half of football games when we play in the bright lights. I won't claim to know how or why exactly it happens, but you can't say the issue doesn't exist. It's been far too often to be considered just a coincidence.
