When you’re up 27-9 at half time it hardly seems rational to say hey guys this is working so well why don’t we just change things go no huddle and really hit the gas.

Entering the fourth we were still up 18 points.  Why would you hit the panic button with a 34-16 lead.  In hindsight yes 18 wasn’t enough but to drastically move away from you game plan that up to that point was working is silly.

They didn’t slow down they didn’t move away from what was working but it certainly did stop working and midway through the fourth they need to figure out how to make a stop on defense not necessarily figure out how to score.  It’s ridiculous to expect 40+ points a game to feel good about winning and not be nervous about it.

Exactly.  There are usually "lulls" in any game where both offenses struggle to convert.  I've seen it numerous times on here that it was the offense's fault the defense blew an 18 point FOURTH QUARTER lead.  I have a hard time digesting that.....
