That second half of run-run-run-punt and run-run-pass-punt with a lead were brutally Marvin, and as always, depressing.
Yea this team has a tendency to let off the accelerator, Oct 4th of 2015 week 4 they beat the Cheifs 36-21. This may be the last time they had a good first half, the lead and beat a good team with a better 2nd half. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is it.
I'll agree that other than Hue they've been terribly vanilla and predictable in the 2nd half. I think it was maybe the Ravens comeback or another game where they had to actually give up the lead late to actually get it back.
Hue ran well with Hill (5.1 avg 2014) and Gio (4.7 avg in 2015). I know the guy went insane to get Palmer and lost a HC job already, but if Mikey gave him absolute power at least we know he wouldn't sit on a lead.
