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."

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
