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."

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
