I know, my post was partially a joke. I just thought it was funny that Fred was sure that trying to score more points in a half wouldn't help us win a playoff game, but it very well could if you look at the history of Marvin Lewis being a HC in the playoffs.
In primetime and playoff games, Marvin led teams have done next to nothing in the second half of games. It's a very real trend and something that shouldn't be ignored. People will say "well how does a coach just flip a switch and coach worse during a certain time?!", and there doesn't seem to be a great answer to that, but there also doesn't seem to be a great answer to how it's NOT possible either, since it actually does happen. Meh, I'll be happy to see that change in 2015 but I'm still going to be holding my breath the first time we have a primetime game come up on the schedule.
