0f our 7 wins since Rivera we were ahead in 6 of them at the half.

This is a very telling stat. The one time we did come back from behind was against Jacksonville where they led by 5 half.

Any explanations? I don't have time to go back and look for any other correlations such as common first half stats both defensive and offensive wise. Just wondering if those with a super memory or time on their hands can help me figure this one out.

Lack of heart. We get too down on ourselves when we are losing. We stop playing hard.

I noticed something in Cam's post game interview, they asked about halftime adjustments and he said that they basically didn't make any adjustments at half, that they just needed to execute better. Found that very interesting.

Our defense sucks ass.

Team isn't talented enough and the coaches can't manage the game. That's why the team regularly goes down two scores in the first quarter. I see no reason why it won't happen again when they play the Falcons.

A lot of people wondered why Rivera had never gotten that chance as a head coach and why impressive coordinators like Chud and McDermott were available.

They're not wondering anymore.

Stoic and laidback

can't stop the run

What's more disturbing than this stat is in how many of our losses were we leading late in the game. Again, I think it's back to the defense not getting stops.
