Anyone Notice during the 2nd Half..

[DelhommesTheMan]

Did anyone notice during the 2nd half against the Skins how different we were playing. We were letting Jake make plays, and not playing scared. The first half was so conservative, it was the usual playing not to lose, rather than play to win. We were down by a nice margin and had nothing left to lose coming out at halftime so we opened it up and won the game. It was like a different offense, and offense that actually looked Good. My friend was over who is a die hard Skins fan, and he said that we moved the offense better than anyone they have played all year. There defense is pretty good. Yes i know the Skins played crap teams, and crap offenses but we should be scoring more points than we have been. Its time for Davidson too let it all out of the bag, we got nothing left to lose..

OPEN IT UP...and that doesnt mean the Wildcat that we cant run..

we have looked good at times on offense in all the games,but Sunday we were consistent for the whole game,especially the second half

I know that last play of the game where Jake ran for the first down... he had me fooled... I definitely liked that play.

the playcalling of a Fox team is always better when down by a fairly signficant margin........which is sad. Give Fox a 1 pt league and the coaching job is horrific.

I liked it also...didn't they run that bootleg against GB last year or what it just a broken play? I liked the play...but I hope I never see it again.

Reminds me of the Bears game last year,down 14pts and came back 17 unanswered pts!Fox is sometimes good at making comebacks but give him a 3 pt lead and becomes too conservative,playing not to lose!I want a coach that keeps the team playing hard no matter what the score!

maybe the team needs to start playing like they are down 17 points every game, every play.

That's b/c Fox's philosophy is to get an early lead (regardless of the margin) and then pound the opposition for the rest of the game (or hope to bore them to death, depending on your perspective) with the running game and a physical defense. Of course, this belies Fox's claim that "other teams practice too" and a single digit lead with anywhere from a quarter to a whole half is an eternity for a decent NFL team to mount a comeback. Last year's games against the Giants and Saints and this year's Cowboys are proof of that. As OP said, it's when we get behind that Fox allows the playcalling to be more "creative", which almost always backfires. It's the "play not to lose" philosophy that someone else mentioned. /rant

I agree, but will the coaching staff buy into that and sell that to the players? All too often Fox treats a 3-7 point lead like it's a 20-30 pt lead with 2:00 in the 4th quarter. It's Fox who has to change his approach, and I won't hold my breath for that.

You mean we actually do make halftime adjustments and all the nitwits who say we don't are wrong?

The horror!

Yea I was expecting a draw play. LOL

More like teaching a retard to run. Sure they can do it, but its not great and always surprising.
