Because we don't put our foot down on their throats when we have a chance.
We had a legit chance to have a huge lead into half vs Baltimore.
Bad call by the refs and then typical chicken shit Marvin stuff keeps it close.
Sorry but this "prevents momentum swings" is bullshit.
Nothing gives an opposing team more momentum than the other team giving up and saying, okay, you guys get a break now. We're letting up.
If we're playing very well against a team for an entire half of football, what makes people think that all of a sudden before the end of the half we're going to start handing the ball over and stopping the momentum?
People are clinging to that to defend Marvin as if it makes any sense at all. I haven't had much of an issue with ol' Marv so far this season, but this one was clearly a mistake on his part. There's no shame to admit that while he has been calling solid games, this specific instance wasn't his brightest moment.
