If you always do what you've always done you'll always get what you've always got. Personally I'd like to change it up and see if we can end up with a different result at the end of the season. True, this is one game and we still won, but an aggressive mindset goes a long way to building the internal confidence long term. Trying at least tells the offense you trust them not to make a mistake.
I like Marvin but will not stick up for that mess before the half. It was dreadful. Even the announcers, supposed football minds, commented.
So what about the games where Marvin played loose with a lead and ended up losing the game like the Tampa Bay game in Palmers last season?
There is a good reason that every team in the league does not go into crazy desperation mode at the end of a half with a 14 point lead.
Marvin has been winning more than most other coaches in the league. I think that is a good thing. And I don't think going into "hurry up" mode at the end of a half will help us win playoff games.
