You can't attribute 100% of the yards per throw going down in the second half solely because of a lack of execution. It was caused probably by both more conservative play calling and lack of execution
Look, you are all over the place with your random assumptions and comparisons to Leaf and talking about all games instead of just games where we had a lead in the second half. So this is my last comment until someone comes up with another alleged example of the Bengals losing a game because Marvin plays too conservative with a lead int he second half other than that Steeler game.
Dalton's completion percentage dropped considerably from the first half (62.8) to the second half (56.2). This could indicate that either they were attempting more long passes or the execution was worse in the second half. You can make all the guesses you want but it proves nothing about how conservative the play calling was in the second half of games when we were sitting on a lead.
BTW early in the second half of that game against the Steelers when we still had the lead Dalton completed a 61 yard bomb to Green but it was called back due to a penalty.
