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

[hepcat]

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?

we had'em right where they wanted us

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.

Rivera is a pussy. I thought everyone knew that. We never try to put points on the board before the half.

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

Because he's clueless, ball-less and scared.

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

The gameplan didn't call for scoring points.
