The offense shuts down completely, the defense goes into pitiful prevent mode. The creative and productive play-calling from the first half all but vanishes into thin air in the second half. That's no accident. It goes back to what we've been saying about Marvin for years. He doesn't play to win. He plays to not lose. And he's not even good at that.
So I was thinking it was complacency for a long time, but I think it's more that when the other team gets chewed out at halftime and comes out fired up and gives their A Game effort that we wilt.
We get punched in the mouth and can't handle it.
