Andy Dalton had a 120 passer rating in the first half of that game (12-17, 164 yds, 1 td, 0 int) while Bernard and Green-Ellis had just 53 rushing yards.
In the 2nd half we came out and ran the ball on 5 of our first 6 first downs but gained 3 yards or fewer 4 of those 5 times.
If we had kept running the ball with those results in the second half you guys would have been complaining about how we "got away from the pass that was working so well in the first half".
Good stats as always Fred, just saying that there is a lot more that goes into it.
Marv's teams just choke in the Playoffs and Primetime games, pretty much always have.
Hoping with the changes with the new OC, O-line Coach and DC change this for him and all of us.
