2nd Half Off. Disappearing act ?

[*bengalfan74*]

What is it that causes this offense to face plant in the 2nd half ?

We've scored a grand total of 20 points in the 3rd qtr. thus far this season, that's a pace of 2.5 points per Two and one half points

We've scored 45 points in the 4th qtr. thus far that's 5.6 points a game. That's of course a grand total of 65 points for an average of 8.1 points per 2nd half !!

We have went scoreless in four 3rd qtrs. and only mustered a FG in two others.

In contrast we have 128 1st half points including 5 games of 14+ and 3 games of 27+ We've only been shut out in one game in the 1st half (Miami) and 3 points in the Chiefs butt stomping.

So I ask why does this O stay in the locker room ? Why can't we finish games, play a complete game ?

Is it the players ? "ahhhh we got this guys, let's coast on in for the win"

Is it Lazor ? Is he to predictable ?

Is it Dalton and the RPO ?

It is a staple of Marvin Lewis led teams

I just don't get it ? It's like a totally different offense takes the field in the 2nd half and you see it time and time again.
