I'm just curious why this team is so opposed to attempting to put a drive together at the end of the first half. In the second quarter yesterday they got the ball with a minute left and a timeout in their pocket. Instead of going hurry up they ran two plays draining about 45 seconds off the clock, a quick third play followed by the timeout, then chucked a hail mary. Why are they so opposed to trying to put together a drive at the end of the half? This doesn't just apply to this game either. Maybe they're just so used to Marvin burning all of the timeouts in the first quarter that they don't even put together a plan for these situations.
We are never aggressive right before the half it seems.. well except vs Cleveland this year. I can understand if we had a 2+ score lead. but it just seems marvin is stuck in a permanent "play not to lose mentality" instead of going for the win like going for it on 4th and inches.
