Did Rivera ever say why they didn’t go for points before halftime?

Sorry if this has already been posted, I don’t feel like searching through pages of threads right now. I’m looking to see if Ron said why the team gave up with 50 seconds and two timeouts left before halftime when down by a touchdown?

Just take any of these and mash them into a sentence (editing as more gems roll in):

More so than anything else

Blown opportunities

We saw some good things

Our young guys need to step up

Still feeling our way around

We felt good as a team

We didn't want to give them any momentum

It's a process

No.

Strong Women Journalists can ask the Carolina Panther's QB about physicality in route-running.

But it doesn't seem like Strong Women Journalists can ask the Carolina Panther's HC about wasting available scoring opportunities and not trusting his QB in those situations.

Probably along the lines of, "Don't want to push it, liked where we were at, getting the ball after half with a chance to tie it up"...or some chicken poo answer along those lines.

 

Even if they just throw the ball on first down to see, NO didn't have the timeouts to get the ball back should we run/kneel on 2nd/3rd.  Rivera, Shula, whoever have no balls.

Don't forget "We didn't want to give them any momentum."

The process though, bro. It's all about the process. How could you forget this?

Just now, the_philosopher said:

"We thought it would be smart to risk fumbling close to our end zone on a couple meaningless run plays more so than anything else."

"people say I'm too conservative. I wanted to prove them wrong by running our scat back up the middle rather than just taking a knee."

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
